What's Cookin? let's eat horse meat, i'm sick of turkey edition

Blueberries don’t belong there any more than dingle berries

 

You did a fine job

 

I'm with ya. I'm addicted to Dove dark chocolate!

 

If nobody here has every been to Lucas Oil Field and you want to go to an away game it is definitely a great destination. There were probably 25,000+ Steelers fans there. Colts fans were really good also. Concession prices reasonable as far as professional sports stadiums go. My son started the Defense chant that got all the Steelers fans going at the end of the game where Cam Heyward kept motioning for us to get louder. Didn't get home til 1:30 am up at 5 am for work. Was worth the lack of sleep. Can't wait to go back there.

 

43% of the gate were Steeler fans.
I would have never imagined that, but then again, they aren't very good and there is no Peyton Manning.

 

That's typically a woman's combo. lol...
Very big up in Canada. My wife likes that combo a lot and her and her sister will down some German Chocolates that I get from there, along with 3-4 bottles of my good wines (they experiment) over a weekend.
I don't mind, it keeps them very mellow and their attention away from the stuff I do.

Personally, I can not stand candy with wine, but then again, I am a strange breed that doesn't like candy anyway.
So, I don't count.
But I do like wine, and I have a pretty decent wine cellar. (Small, about 30-50 bottles during the holidays)

 

Capacity for Lucas Oil Stadium football games is 67,000 and I only saw a handful of empty seats. 43% would equate to 28,810 Steelers fans. I estimated 25,000+ which was close. We were definitely twice as loud as the Colts fans. Great showing again for the Black N Gold nation. Cam Heyward telling us all to get louder at the end of the game is something I will never forget for an away game.

 

Agree. If I saw a game at Heinz Field at Acrisure Stadium that had 43% of the gate being our opponent's fan base I'd likely have a heart attack. I mean, with stubhub and such it's possible these days, it's a relatively within driving distance of Pittsburgh combined with Steelers fans living within reasonable driving distance from Kentucky, Illinios and Ohio. It is wild how far the Colts have fallen since Andrew Luck.

 

No need for precision, It was what they put out in the Media package for the gate summary.... you were spot on.
I did not make this trip, I have too many plates spinning as it is.
Steelers Fans are good travelers... they are always around in decent numbers.
And a good test: Let Pat catch a Pass... that's when I knew it was a good showing.

 

Absolutely.
In Washington (who went from first to worst in attendance) They won't put the numbers in the media packet.
But it is obvious that as much as 60-70% are the other team, with some wearing jerseys of teams not even playing! lol

 

What kind of wines are you into? Reds?

 

I love Italian (Tuscany) wines.
Reds mostly, Chianti, Sangiovese.

I just started French wines and only scratching the surface - I have a wine club (more my wife's) which is cool.
Not real big on California wines, but there are some good ones.

 

Nice! I'm just starting to get exposed to Italian wines and have a buddy who loves barolos and says they are the king of wines. He has also served some brunellos that I liked. It's hard for me to remember the labels and names so just started used the vivino app which is pretty cool if you haven't tried it. You can rate and keep track of what you've had and it makes recommendations and shows deals.

 

Glad You, and Your Son had a blast, and thanks for the Win.

 

I don't eat candy either, but chocolate is a different thing into itself. Also I don't like regular milk chocolate....it's got to be dark, and bitter.

 

I have a Barolo from a Tuscany trip. Bottled in 1999. I’d been saving it for a special occasion, then got divorced…and now I’m afraid to open it.

 

Save it for when the Steelers win #7. Hopefully it will not age much longer.

I said wines not whines

 

Right. That's exactly how I thinking.

 

There are few Conundrums I enjoyed.
