There was a lot of good about last Sunday's football game. Don't let my silence over the past week say otherwise. First, let me say - "We Have a Quarterback that relates to the team." We also have a solid backup quarterback. This makes me incredibly happy.
If I could offer once piece of advice, it would be to the receivers. Just like Coach Lombardi stressed the basics, I would tell them "Don't Take Your Eyes Off the Ball." Really dudes, we would have won the game if you followed this simple, basic truth. If you look away from the ball before you get it, you won't get it. Period. Done.
That being said, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game against Tampa Bay. I have chosen and cooked my recipe. It may even go to church with me with the other treats I'm cooking for the brunch to benefit the orphanage we built in Haiti.
Before we move on to this week's menu, let me share last week's quintessential Southern Brunch. I made a quiche with smoked salmon, collard greens and Gouda cheese. Some fresh tomatoes and a salad with strawberries completed the plate. I can't tell you how good collard greens are in a quiche. Also, Gouda melts beautifully and provides a nice flavor. Give it a try. Here's a basic quiche recipe allowing you to put in your favorites.
