Downing a Double Down

, , 0

First, it was invented. Next, it crossed the border. Then, it created a political storm. Then, Pretend challengers showed up. Finally, The Waffle got his hands on one. Once I arrived at the Rideau Centre location, I hesitated. Perhaps I should go for a healthier choice, like the Chicken Caesar Salad. Alas, it was sold out. Apparently, it is a very popular item at KFC. Only 190 calories. Only 8 grams of fat. Only 830 mg of sodium. But that’s before the croutons. But again, it was sold out! I had no choice but to go back to the original quest: the Double Down. The breadless sandwich was offered on it’s own for $6.99 – or as part of a trio, with french fries and a pop for $8.99.

Tailgating adventures in Buffalo – the vegetarian edition

 Here we were, in Parking Lot C of Ralph Wilson Stadium, for a quick tailgate before the Patriots-Bills game. I say quick because it was a 1 PM start, so it reduces the available time before the game, especially considering the night before. I planned ahead this time, and brought some equipment and supplies, including a propane stove to cook our pre-game meal.  For food, we went to Tops, which usually has everything one can need. Not this time, though – one having self-imposed vegetarian constraints, we looked for veggie burgers or dogs.  No luck in downtown Buffalo.  But I was already planning a vegetarian chili. Butter 1 small red onion 1 green pepper 1 can of crushed tomatoes 1 can of red kidney beans 1 can of black kidney beans 1 can of corn salt pepper my secret blend of chili spices A few drops of Búfalo Jalapeno Hot Sauce…
