"This week's recipe hardly counts as an actual recipe; rather, consider it a guide to an enlightened bye week experience. This is your week off, too. Let's eat healthy, watch games if and only if we legitimately want to, and take the opportunity to contemplate our thoughts on feelings on the season so far, and our hopes and anxieties for the remainder of the season to come."

"This recipe isn't meant to constitute a Gross Football Lunch all its own (although you absolutely could go to town on nothing but some black beans and come away full and happy); rather, this recipe is meant to serve as a foundational piece for whatever grease pile you can dream up that can benefit from having a pile of beans slopped on it."
