At this time of year, a triad of 香蕉视频直播渟portsing香蕉视频直播 happens.

It香蕉视频直播檚 post-season in baseball. Start of season in hockey. And just the season of football. Each year I have a look at what to enjoy, food and drink wise, for your sport of choice. Most years, I get depressed that the Jays aren香蕉视频直播檛 playing and I can香蕉视频直播檛 suggest, that buttery popcorn and a bottle of Steller香蕉视频直播檚 Jay Brut is great for baseball date night.

Maybe a Houston Astros game with chicken-fried steak and a pumpkin ale instead? Or deep-dish Chicago pizza paired with the Cubs and a bottle of Cabernet Franc? Last year I suggested dill pickle Spitz with a fragrant, flavourful gin. I stick by that pairing.

And, I stick by Hawkin香蕉视频直播檚 Cheezies as a staple of fall snack food, and note that I have served them recently with an un-peated Scotch, and a California bourbon for those seeking something with a hint of caramel. Eventually, the drink overpowers the bright orange snack, and then it香蕉视频直播檚 time to cool your palate with salted caramel ice cream and a small glass of Madeira.

Speaking of ice cream, according to a report that recently floated by on social media, Canadians eat more of this treat in the winter than during any other time of the year. Relive summer with strawberry ice cream and the last bottle of your ros茅. And there香蕉视频直播檚 your pairing with Hockey Night in Canada. Vanilla ice cream? Pour on some ice wine made from red wine grapes for fruit flavour. Chocolate? Maybe an Okanagan port-style wine or a stout.

I have yet to appreciate football, but this year I am watching some of it for the political discourse. For that reason, it may be good to remain sober for the games. Start checking out gourmet hot chocolate recipes in preparation for tailgate parties in the cold. Pumpkin spice hot chocolate? Why not. It香蕉视频直播檚 on trend and is a tip to Halloween. Truffle hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookie hot chocolate 香蕉视频直播 it香蕉视频直播檚 all out there by simply asking Siri or Google.

Pass the salt and vinegar chips and a glass of pinot gris.
