Q: What is the Tampa Bay area famous for?
A: Not alot.
That makes planning my football menu slightly difficult. I already used Citrus as a base once this year for the preseason Jacksonville game, and with two Regular Season Miami games coming up, I don’t want to use up all the lemons in Florida yet.
According to my secret sources, (Wikipedia) Tampa either means “Sticks of Fire” or “The Place to Gather Sticks.” Apparently they hired Ron Burgundy to do their translating. They should consider themselves lucky they weren’t named for an Alligator’s Penis. Either way, in my language, sticks = fire = grilling.
Much like the Tampa Bay offense, my refrigerator is a hot mess right now. One or two fresh veggies, but other than that - leftovers, leftovers and more leftovers. In that respect, at least Raheem Morris knows how I feel. This is where our similarities end however, as I plan on conquering my food challenge.

The game plan tonight involves taking our “not quite stale” pita bread and making some pizzas with it. Dan and I are huge Hummus lovers, and even though we scrape the Sabra container clean, we always have extra pita.
