Great comeback, twissis! I will make Crab & Brie Omelet (Treasure Trove #12) -#211183

... Thx Mikekey - No one was more surprised than me. After I ck'd the Sun afternoon halftime results at the NFL website, I actually came here & scouted some recipes from the "poolsters" B4 I went to bed. The next morning when I ck'd things again & thot I might even be in contention w/some luck, I started laughing.

The whole thing brought to mind a memory from my distant past. None of the rest of you guys are prob old enough to remember this ... But there used to be a TV sports program on Sat (or Sun) afternoon called "Wide World of Sports". The opening film of the program ea wk showed a ski jumper sailing off the ramp & crashing into the snow below w/his arms, legs & ski poles flailing every which way. "The thrill of victory & the agony of defeat" was the vocal that accompanied the clip.

I remember it....Jim McKay was awesome....DH has a set of glasses and each one has a funny caption about grilling on it....one says "the grill of hickory, the agony of burnt meat"
