The Lord rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath. Is this a day for Salvation? If you clicked on that, you better understand my confusion and welcomed ignorance. Being "saved" from sin or led to Heaven are concepts of meaningfulness for many, not so much for me.
I rested all weekend, and in the process enjoyed three tailgate meals. The first featured a salad and Chinese cuisine, with Highland Park scotch and a 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon from Stanford:
Those miniature bottles of Hennessey Cognac and Suntory Hibiki are additives for the Shanghai Soup Dumpling. Why so much food? Maybe there was a good reason.
The second was Japanese, Makunouchi bento, nishime, two kinds of sashimi (hirame and chu-toro), cold Kirin beer and hot sake:

The third was a gastronomical delight, featuring fried foie gras, goose truffle pate, endive, fried buttered French bread, Danish Castello blue cheese, Japanese Eryngii mushroom, and Chinese jook soup, with some Stanford Chardonnay:
The resultant oily liquid remains from frying the fresh foie gras in butter and sake were used to fry the sliced mushrooms, with the addition of some soy sauce. The result was heavenly.
My teams did so-so, but the resultant World Series did end up with most of my players from the Houston Astros and Washington Senators surviving. The $40 I paid to CDM to form my team began at 24th of 25 teams in my league after week one. I have advanced to #6 and have more players remaining than the other five competitors ahead of me.
