What wasn't fun were all the injuries. Bears fans will be holding their breath to hear the status of some of our Monsters. The list of injured players reads like a "Who's Who" of Bears: Hester, Tillman, Spencer, Louis and Forte. Let's hope for some good news.
Deciding on today's menu was a challenge and came down to the wire. The decision rested on whether Cutler was playing. Once it was announced that he'd be on the field, it was time to make Skause. Skause is a traditional meat and vegetable stew that was a constant with Vikings. There was always a kettle going and, as they ate it, more meat and vegetables were added. My skause consisted of a Beef Vegetable Soup that had been made several days ago and the addition of wild rice and extra beef broth. Let's eat to the health of da Bears!
