Hot as a pistol, but cool inside.

The Eagle have landed and the fans are going going Guilty.   Watch out NFL. These birds are in the playoffs and looking for victory.  The NFC East Champions have come to kick ass.  Nickie9 is one cool customer and he is going to surprise a lot people on Saturday night.  The Saints should be worried.

Rooting for Chip with a Guiltiful Feast.

There's a big Eagles game tonight and the town is stoked to the max. Win at midnight and the Eagles are in the playoffs. "Chip rules!"  Lose and the fans are devastated. "Chip choked!!" What a dramatic situation. 

We believe in Chip and his innovative game plans.  It's a Big Time moment in a town more than ready for the Big time spotlight.  Can you imagine what the Superbowl is going to be like with an army of Eagle fans a mere 90 miles away? OMG!!! 

Of course down in front, the Guilty Pleasures Club prepares for either outcome with many decadent delights. For the early games, our spread needs to match the passion of the fans tailgating all day in the stadium. parking lot.  Even though the game is in Dallas and even though the weather is miserable.  From the Blackberry Chevre stuffed French Toast with a Pecan encrusted Spiral Ham for breakfast to Kowaloneks' fresh Kielbasa and Juniper Berry Sauerkraut for a pre-game lunch, our GPC team sets the Game Day table for success.  "How delicious does that sound?"  

At 4 pm it's blanched vegetables with a Tzatziki sauce as we put the finishing touches on a  pre-game feast that features the Coho Salmon that we caught this past summer in Oregon . "We miss daybreak in Astoria.  Salmon fishing the at the mouth of the Olympia River is strictly front row. It just doesn't get any better than that." Grazing all day on fantastic food is our Guilty Football Feast .

With Philadelphia's beloved Eagles looking to clinch first place, playoff positioning has begun to take shape. My gut instinct tells me this is the year that the Birds quiet their critics and win the Super Bowl.

You have to pace yourself on Guilty Street. Stuffing yourself is frowned upon while grazing throughout the day is the Guilty Way. "Go Chip Go!!!"

Snowy Day. Guilty Day. Chipper Day.......

When it comes to the weather, the new normal is pretty freaky.  Yesterday's fantastically fun snowstorm was only magical because it was Sunday and most of us were lounging at home by a roaring fire, safe and Guilty.  Is that the best or what? If it was on a Monday, it would have been a disaster.

We took full advantage of yesterday's blizzard-like conditions in Philadelphia and went totally Guilty.  We camped out in front of our massive HDTV to watch the Eagles kick butt.  While we cheer for another team to the north, we are big Chip Kelly fans.  The Eagles have been amazing under the new Head Coach and it seems like they are just getting started.  Coach Kelly must be a lifelong member of the Guilty Pleasures Club. (we will investigate further) Can't you just sense Chip's passion for the finest Guilty Pleasures when it comes to socializing and dining?  There are too many decadent delights in Oregon to ignore and even the healthy farm to table cuisine in the Northwest can definitely inspire the Guilty. You know he's living well and so are the Eagles.

And thankfully, so are we!!!  Guilty and Thin Mint capped off a relaxing Sunday with a sensational family dinner.  Everyone enjoyed:
