Disappointing Game, Fulfilling Nachos

Well, we may not have won the game, but at least the nachos were awesome.

Sutro Baths

The real star of the day though, was . . . Sutro Sam (see below for a portrait)! I get abnormally excited by animal sightings, so naturally I have an unhealthy interest in our local river otter, Sam. Re-directing my focus -  Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone and as I may have mentioned in the past, my real interest is based on the rituals of eating surrounding the "big game". Although I did get into it, given that the local team (the 49ers, for those of you who may not know - no judgment) was in it. Unfortunately it didn't go our way but I think we all took comfort in the copious amounts of pork and crunchy-nacho-ness surrounding us.

I was inspired by Bon Appetit's recipe from their latest issue - but I of course made some tweaks. To see my version read on:

 

Breakfast Time - Cheddar Bacon Biscuits

I don't think this really makes it an excuse to call this breakfast, but football was on and I was in the mood for some sort of unhealthy 'game food' - so . . . carpe diem. Not only did I make bacon cheddar biscuits, but I ate mine with an egg on top of it. It was delicious. I plan on making something equally unhealthy and tasty for Super Bowl Sunday - thus emerges my love of football.

I adapted my recipe from Alton Brown's plain Southern Biscuit recipe. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery - perfect for eating as soon as they exited the oven.
