Ruby Tuesday - Midget football back when

Ruby Tuesday reminisces and returns back to 1977 and a recently found print of a midget football team that features my then 13 year old brother on the team (CP) was number 60 if my eyes are not deceiving me. The town is East Hartford, Connecticut, the place is Labor Field in the Mayberry Village (really) section of town. I cannot recall the team's name, and the quality of the scan is helped by modern means - so the past comes alive...

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Super Bowl Pizza

Ruby Tuesday 2 reappears for the week. We all follow the one rule: Any red will do, a lot or a little. Toady it is the latter…Ah, what can one say about that unique US (secular) holiday, the Super Bowl. At its essence, it is an (American) football game. It seems to be a day of parties and food – Patti, Allegra and I concentrated on the food part. 

I once had at Zuppardi’s in West Haven, what was referred to as a Antipasto Focaccia. We tried to replicate it at home, and it included the pizza crust, salami, artichoke hearts, pancetta, and copa ham in a vinegary dressing, mozzarella on top. And, tomatoes for the requisite ruby. It turned out to be special eats on our dinner party for three.

Yet, at its essence, it was merely a game. I like both teams, the Patriots and the Giants, as do many people in Connecticut, many the same distance from Boston and New York. I would say that the Giants were the better team today - hence, the four point win. As foodies, looking for a unique and tasty treat, we three found it!
