E and I differ on sports. He’s into hockey and the America’s Cup (nice win, Oracle!). I am a raging Chicago Bears fan.
I watch football games leaning into the television, and scream bloody murder when the miss a down or fumble the ball. E sometimes gets so nervous by my yelling, he often flees to the the safety of his office.
Something tasty I discovered for football watching last weekend—baked fried green tomato BLTs. I had the last of those green tomatoes left, and baked them the same way I did earlier for the feta and red onion sandwich. They were sweet and crunchy against the bacon and crisp greens. I thought this would help woo E back into the living room to watch football with me.
Nope. I took the sandwich to him in the office, and we ate it while watching Cup highlights. “Alright, the game is on!” I said.
“Enjoy,” E answered, turning his attention back to his computer.
