Rye Krisp and Muenster, Cold Beer, Good Sports

Good sports on TV last night and on the radio. New England vs the Giants. Gopher men BB in the UNLV tournament. You can listen to WCCO AM radio on your computer. I just found that out. Gotta love radio and those radio announcers, thanks to this new technology( computers).

Hard tack and sharp cheddar and a cold beer. Dad always called it hard tack, though I've never seen that printed on a package. Rye Krisp. Muenster too, soft and creamy and white w/ an orange rind. The soft cheese and the hard cracker is a nice contrast in texture. There is a depth of flavor in rye crisp, even though its only rye flour and water and salt. Simple can be pretty good. Good for you too.

So I'm in my fleece at the laptop on the porch listening to the the basketball game and watching the football game as reflected in a strategically situated mirror and the kids are out sliding down the hill onto the lake in the dark. It was a great evening. Love all this fresh snow. Both of my teams won.Brady and Moss set records. Hoffarber sparks the Gophers into an early lead after a sluggish start.

The kids come in and have hot chocolate and peppermint tea. We win all around. We have fudge for a late night treat and all crawl in together, even the pup, for a while. A great night.
