Beat this

As I was putting a spoonful of wet scrambled eggs on a corner of olive bread toast, I was thinking, Nobody in town can beat this. I make the best breakfast right here at home.

Pac 12

Not a good opening weekend. 2 ranked teams lost, will drop. But UCLA and Cal may throw a few surprises down the road.

Oregon

... won easily but gave up 42 pts.

LA Times

Begins its lead sports story this way:

"When is hype not really hype?

When it’s the truth.

It looks like Josh Rosen wasn’t hyped."

Here comes the pressure ...

Clone this

Really good day. Wish I could string a few together.

Headline of the day

Josh Rosen passes for 351 yards, 3 TDs in stellar debut as No. 13 UCLA beats Virginia 34-16

Josh Rosen

Taken out, middle of 4th, victory secure. 28/35, 350 yds, 3 TD. Impressive, esp his accuracy. He can thread the needle.

Verdict

My paella rolls are damn good ... not as good as Boise but a keeper. Very labor intensive.

Paella rolls

UCLA

First thoughts at 17-9 halftime lead ... freshman QB Rosen looks great! Defense needs work.

Portland State beats Wash St!

A great 24-17 victory for the hometown Big Sky team. Scored all their points in second half.

Paella ...

... in the oven ... step one for paella rolls. My interpretation of basque item in Boise. An experiment.

Transition

No focus or discipline since end of road trip. Cooking is only thing keeping me grounded. Time to return to pre-trip rhythms.

But today is football, starting in less than an hour, Navy and Stanford games, later Portland State at Wash St, noonish the biggie, Va at UCLA ... if I have energy after that, an Oregon game.

Somewhere this weekend, try an idea for paella rolls. Had them in Boise, thinking about them ever since.

Grilling

I use a mini Weber with only two if us.




I prefer lump coal briquettes, started in a chimney.





I create a grilling environment with direct heat, indirect heat, and high humidity.




Turkey legs tonight. Later vegies. Oiled, seasoned for a few hrs before grilling.




A chunk of hickory wood for smoke flavoring.

Wouldn't it be nice
