Couple of things

Bumped from the diaries. Thanks to Rusty.

I'm borrowing Jmac's meme for one post.

First, if you didn't watch the UT-So. Miss game this past Saturday (and why would you have? it was on PPV), then you missed this hit that Tennessee linebacker Rico McCoy laid on Southern Miss quarterback Jeremy Young.

Heh.

Also, it would seem that the Ol' Ball Coach hasn't mellowed out quite as much as he'd have us believe. After the win against Georgia between the Hedges Saturday, he had this to say:

"It wasn't like they were some big, powerful team," Spurrier said on his television show Sunday. "They've actually lost five in a row to Eastern Division opponents. Kentucky and Vandy beat 'em last year."

I think he meant that to say that his team shouldn't get too, umm, cocky. But it came out more like "I have no respect for the University of Georgia, its players, and everything it and they stand for. DIAF, kthx bai."

Yummy!
Florida Gator Hater Soup

Ingredients:
5 lbs. Florida Gator bones and scrap meat
1 lb. choice Florida Gator tail meat
1 lb. canned or precooked black beans
1 bunch celery, washed
5 large carrots, peeled
2 shallots
1 clove garlic
2 fresh limes
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1 tbsp. white truffle oil
1 lb. frozen puff pastry

Boil bones and scrap meat in a large stockpot. Chop the celery and carrots into 1" chunks, and slice the shallots thin. Sauté the shallots briefly until tender in a small knob of butter, then add the carrots and celery and sweat the vegetables down for five minutes. Add to the stock with any pan juices.

Add the precooked black beans, bay leaves and a grind of fresh pepper to the stock, and allow to boil down to about a third of its volume over moderate heat, two to three hours. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Prepare the alligator tail meat as per the basic preparation instructions - remove silverskin and tendons, use the Jacquard or other tenderizer, and pound. Cut into ½" chunks, and toss with the juice of two fresh limes and one crushed clove of garlic.

Allow the alligator meat to marinate while the stock reduces. When the broth is well reduced, strain and clarity to remove all solids. Cut decorative "gator tails" out of puff pastry and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until puffy and brown. Gently poach the marinated gator pieces in one cup of the broth until barely done.

Just before serving, froth the nonfat milk with a cappuccino whisk and gently fold in the white truffle oil. Assemble the soup in decorative cups with the puff pastry tails, and spoon the white truffle foam over each serving. Light garnishes may be floated atop the truffle foam, such as crispy fried shallots.
