Scallops and Mushroom Polenta
I first had this dish at Erik Erickson’s restaurant on the pier at Ventura, California. I went home and recreated it as near as I could. It’s a deceptively easy elegant meal to make after a Kings win. You may also use regular polenta, just cook it and place in a cake pan. Let cool and slice […]

January 30, 2012 by tracykingslover
When you follow a Pro Sport such as hockey, you often hear about your team’s minor leagues and college prospects. The majority of fans know a few names as they are thrown around during the season, and I certainly fall into that catagory. I had heard of the best of the minors, etc. The ones […]
Hockey For Beginners – Get to know your Nicknames
January 27, 2012 by tracykingslover
“Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.” – Thomas Paine We know them by their nicknames. The Great One, Rocket Richard and Super Mario. Because really, every great sport player has been given a nickname. It makes us closer to them, more attainable if you will. This is a name we gave […]

January 26, 2012 by tracykingslover
Thought I’d just give you some info on the All Star schedule. You can click here for all the events on nhl.com. If you are a Uverse user like I am, you do not get this feature since Uverse sucks butt and dropped the nhl network. You will have to either go without, or do as […]

A Brief History of the Hockey Stick
January 24, 2012 by The Recipe Seeker
Ice hockey sticks are approximately 59.1 inches (150cm) to 78.7 inches (200cm) long. The blade is slightly curved in one direction, either way, to aid in retaining or lifting the puck of the playing surface. The goaltender has a slightly modified stick. The lower part of the stick is wider, the angle is smaller and […]
Game Preview – Kings vs Senators
January 23, 2012 by tracykingslover
It was hard finding pictures between the Kings and Senators since the last time we played each other was back in November of 2010! This is our first and last time we will meet this season. No one expected Ottawa to be where they are in the NHL with 60 pts to our 56 pts. […]
Game Preview – Kings vs Avalanche
January 21, 2012 by tracykingslover
First off lets wish our All-Star goalie, Jonathon Quick, a very happy Birthday today! He is 26 years old. I think a perfect birthday present would be a nice win in net. Don’t you? Hard to think with that sweet boyish face that Quickie is married and has a one year old daughter! […]

The Year We Mowed the Ice
January 18, 2012 by The Recipe Seeker
March, 1959. Chateauguay, Quebec. My husband put up some boards in the back yard and made an ice rink for the kids, ages 4 and 5. He hosed down the whole area and waited for the frost to freeze it over. They loved it and used it every day to skate. Then we had a […]
Cheese Stuffed Pasta Shells for the Game!
January 18, 2012 by tracykingslover
When you watch as much hockey as my hubbypat and I do, we cannot eat greasy game food all the time. First off, we would be over 300 pounds each because we watch hockey every night! So the challenge is finding healthy balanced foods that we can cook and not miss any of the action […]
