TRUMP, PO' BOYS AND MORE

Did you know that President Donald Trump once owned a professional football team?

• Here he is shaking the hand of one his New Jersey Generals USFL football team players, Herschel Walker, 41 years ago.  Now you know why Trump endorsed Walker on his Georgia Senate campaign, and just named him Ambassador to the Bahamas.

• 
  In 1985 with Doug Flutie, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who signed with Trump.
• Like almost everything he owns, the United States Football League went bankrupt.
• Trump played football as a student at the New York Military Academy.
• He maybe showed up at the Super Bowl because Louisiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania voted for him in the recent presidential election.
• He played golf with Tiger Woods this morning and will fly into New Orleans to watch the Super Bowl today from the suite of New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson. House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana will be there.

Had the first phase of my Super Bowl binge as a brunch.  Ingredients for my Bloody Mary.  Two kinds of vodka and three hot sauces.

Finished product.

Super Bowl pre-game.  Hmmm...RESPONSIBILITY.  DON'T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH?

Now, on to my special Po' Boy.  Chef Gordon Ramsay was on the Super Bowl pre-game show to make Po' Boys.  His was a bit more traditional, with too much mayonnaise and sauces.  I like mine simpler.

First toast baguette with butter in pan.

Fry salami.

Pat's Po' Boy with salami, onions, provolone and American cheese on lettuce, with pickles and hot peppers.

Pesto sauce and wasabi to add some spice to the sandwich.

My Super Bowl Brunch.  How do I hold this...and do I chomp from the ends or open side?

Not a problem.  The lettuce held everything in place.  At this point, I thought some beer would be about right.

Anheuser-Busch 8.1% Hurricane Beer.  The bottle of Mickeys (it is empty) is to hold half the beer for the next course.

I ate the whole sandwich.

The next courses will be the start of game, and/or half time/end of the game.  

Next, Edamame and Boiled Peanuts with more Hurricane Beer and Bloody Mary.

Finally, either at half-time or end of game, Korean Chicken and corn, with Tacos and Artichoke Pizza.  Plus Margarita with three tequilas and two types of Korean shoju.
