First course was Alabama destroying Washington.
Second course will be Clemson beating Ohio State.
Desert will be the Wild winning.
………or Rolaids if things go wrong. 
Sounds like you might have a couple bucks on the game, I ate most of this picture….

We had pheasant noodle soup! It was delicious! Happy New Year IDO!
Most? If you didn’t eat the fat, save it for me…

What could go wrong?, other than the Wild falling. Got those Rolaids?
Sheesh, that looks good. We stopped for cheap Chinese food followed up with DQ Blizzards. Everyone was happy.
bigpike, I would have expected you’d be more in line to serve and celebrate the New Year with a big Pike?

Well I did smoke a lake Nipigon laker that was turned into a fine trout spread by my better half….
We had shrimp on the grill and split a ribeye steak.
However we had discussed cooking a bone in ribeye roast and decided to save it for company in February. Yours looks excellent.
Looks pretty tasty Pike 
Ralph – Actually, I’m in with that menu. Love Blizzards imho best ice cream. (I know its ice milk, but what the hey)
We had the usual. Whatever good cut of meat was on sale at Publix. This year it was NY strip. 4.5oz lobster tails that are also always on sale for New Year’s. Last, but not least, giant baking potatoes.
Meat and lobster made on the grill.
Here’s a couple tips I learned through the years.
Cut through the top of the lobster shell. Use your index finger to separate the meat from the shell, but you can keep the end attached. Brush the lobster meat with butter to keep it from sticking to the shell and grill grates. Cook it in the shell, it helps cook the meat slower and more even.
I tried cutting the lobster in half before. To me this leads to drier and thought meat, especially with small tails. On a bigger tail I would probably use this technique.
For the potatoes, carefully wrap them with a little water inside the foil and try to not let the water drip out. This leads to evenly cooked, moist potatoes with a crispy skin.
We ate at Mancini’s before the Wild game. I had a filet. It was good as usual. Too bad the Wild didn’t pull out a victory. Folin and Scandella were bad last night, and Dumba getting tossed didn’t help that situation.
If Pariese would have converted the open net opportunity early, it may have had a better MN outcome
I hope this isn’t a trend I am seeing.
