I did, saw there you can order a delivered PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA online and if you enter 25DISC in the PROMO CODE you get 25% off your entire order.....on your Discover Card. A few weeks ago, got 8 wings (tiny) large thin crust pizza (lousy) and chocolate chip cookies (not bad), a $3.00 delivery charge NOT THE TIP, plus tip about $30. You can track your pizza entirely online, from order/cook/box/out for delivery. Not a good pizza. Well I just tried a deep dish large (I measured it, it was 12" not really large), $19.99 delivered with tip.....it was awful!! Not cooked right, soggy, half is still in the frig. Live and learn, never again, NOT GAMEDAY FOOD. I'm sticking with WEDGEWOOD PIZZA! Ditto for the National chains- Papa John's is junk. same can be said for Pizza Hut. I you're going national brand, Domino's is about the best. Second the opinion- stick to the local guys you know and love that don't spend millions on advertising. GEICO- you listening? That has to be 25% of their budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcam222 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 So here's a new thing I decided to add to my ongoing grilling and smoker obsession. These are sugar free bread and butter pickles made from scratch and they are the bomb!! Did a gallon or so to start with. So big a hit I am already working up another two gallons of them. Making a version with horseradish in them as well. Also have about 3 gallons of cold pack half sour garlic dills that will be ready Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our house we try to get rid of white or brown bag or white box every week......just occasionally. and a confession to make. You would think as a guy who likes great wines, I'd like a lot of high end foods. Not the case at all. Protein? Cow. Pig. That about covers it. (absolutely no internal organs, liver makes me quiver at the mere thought and smell of it) If it came out of the water, I don't eat it. Unless eggs are blended into something unrecognizable, no go there. Just the smell of a scrambled egg still get my stomach turning. Fowl is foul, I can barely choke down turkey buried in a mountain of cranberry sauce. Wings can fly to the Moon as far as I'm concerned. Oh, our usual game day Browns fare- besides the vino, includes cappacola ham, Italian beef, assorted cheeses, and occasional other stuff. (Jet's Pizza) So last night was a lesser 2015 Bordeaux (a great vintage) with a grilled sirloin and a side of creamy risotto. I have lots of recipes my wino friends have shared- problem is, they're great- but Whoa Nellie- they're also time and labor intensive. I doubt I'll ever do that all day menu again slaving in the kitchen I did a few years ago for our University of Dayton wine\food experience. Curious? Main course- seared filet with a mushroom Madeira sauce. Mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese & chives topped with bacon and Italian blend cheese. Swiss onion soup (chicken broth + onion + Gruyere + seasonings). White chocolate Amaretto cream pie for dessert- about describes the primary ingredients.

mjp28 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 hoorta (if you want to try and broaden your horizons) or you other guys we love french onion soup plus frequently like chicken dishes we definitely are going to try this one and I'll put up the real simple recipe later. A good halftime GAMEDAY or any day meal. .....When we say this French onion chicken skillet is one of the best chicken dinners we’ve ever made, we are not exaggerating. Not even a little bit. For all you French onion soup lovers out there, get ready to have your minds blown; we turned one of our all-time favorite soups into a skillet dinner, adding chicken into the mix for some more protein and to make it a more well-rounded meal. But other than that, we prepared the onions almost exactly the same way we would to make the soup..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 French Onion Chicken Skillet - 1 hour to prepare serves 4-6 This is seriously an outstanding dish. If you’ve got the time to whip it up on a weeknight – we find it relaxing to cook the onions – it’ll blow your family away, otherwise, you’ll be sure to impress any and all guests for whom you make it. Regardless of whether you even like onions (it’s impossible not to like these!), this dish is a certified winner, every time! INGREDIENTS 2 pounds Vidalia onions, sliced 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs <---- NOTE: I prefer thighs! 2 cups beef broth 1 cup swiss cheese, grated 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried sage Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste PREPARATION Preheat oven to 350º F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, oven-proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and caramelized. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until darkened, but not burned. Remove onions from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Heat remaining olive oil in skillet and raise heat to medium-high. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme and sage, then place in skillet and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove chicken from heat and set aside. Pour beef broth into skillet and bring mixture to a boil, scraping up stuck bits from the bottom of pan. Return heat to medium-low and whisk in flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until mixture has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Return chicken and onions to pan, stir together with beef gravy, then top with grated swiss cheese. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly, and chicken is cooked through. Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal and I can tell you that you have no idea what you are missing from the wild. Cutthroat trout pan-fried in butter from the just broken ice in the Rawah Wilderness in northern Colorado, fresh live crawfish picked at midnight from the Horsetooth Reservoir tributary near Ft. Collins grilled over an open fire with the tails served with dipping melted butter and gigged flounder fillets wrapped in foil with spiced lemon-butter and placed in campfire coals at midnight on the backside of Matagorda Island on the Texas coast. Atmosphere is everything. Right cal? 🤩 Now just give us a nice ice-chilled white wine to go with those Larry. Those trips would be a mind changer.
