« Chess prodigy Bobby Fischer, 64, dies in Iceland | Main | The scene before the Pats took the trophy » January 19, 2008Pre-game prep: Recipes, weather and what M.Charles Bakst will wear
I just posted a great gameday recipe for Spinach & Cheese Squares over on the Football Food & Spirits blog -- here's my photo of one step of it. (Hey, it's the most exciting photo of parboiling I've ever seen.) Meanwhile, from the meteorologists' discussion at the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass., here's the latest forecast for Sunday's Patriots-Chargers game: HIGHS SHOULD PRETTY MUCH REMAIN STEADY IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND IN THE LOWER 20S IN THE BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION...NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 OR 35 MPH WHICH MAKE IT FEEL BITTERLY COLD.  In Foxboro, players will be numb and passing will be dangerous, but Journal political columnist M. Charles Bakst will be comfy: Journal columnist Bakst shares his game plan for preventing hypothermia Sunday. Bakst is a layers man, but I've heard of folks slipping into sub-zero sleeping bags and cinching them so as to leave only a mummy's peephole.
Charlie told me yesterday that he once wrote a column about how a cold-weather Pats game looks like a costume party . "Some people come in diving gear," he said. Wet suits -- personal insulation -- makes some sense. But the rest of us just need the TV schedule: The New England Patriots play the San Diego Chargers at 3 p.m. Sunday on CBS; pregame show an hour earlier. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
