Random odds and ends: Rondo on the Pre-Game meal with Shannon Allen, the Celtics get booed in LA.

Rondo and Shannon cooked up crispy unfried chicken, cornbread, green beans, AND some sweet tea... my favorite beverage eevveerrr. You can find the recipe for it all right here, should you be interested in making any of it at home.

Also, I watched a little bit of the All-Star game last night... As I'm sure everyone knows, Kobe won MVP. I can't stand the Lakers, but I will be completely honest: I don't hate Kobe. Besides that I'm a Celtics fan by the books: I can't stand Lebron, Chris Bosh is overrated, I'll never forgive Amare Stoudemire for bashing Paul Pierce's front teeth in all those years ago in Phoenix, I hate the Heat, etc. But for some reason, I just don't have that Kobe hate in me. Say what you will about his life off the court, but on the floor it's undeniable that the guy is one of the best of all time AND is a proven winner. So anyway, he was on a mission last night to win the MVP- because he had to best Lebron James, he hears everyone doubting the Lakers and he wanted to show everyone he's not old and done. I guess he successfully accomplished that mission. I'd rather Kobe win in this type of situation than Lebron any day. Maybe that's just me.

The 4 Celtics didn't play too much. That's cool with me. They all checked in together, and which was nice to see... And nobody got hurt! That was the best part. They also got booed a lot. Hilarious!


Poor Paul! Gets the loudest boos in his hometown. Sike! You know he loves it.

Clips from the Pre-Game meal with Shannon Allen

A lot of people have been curious about this show... So here's a clip of Shannon talking about what to expect when you tune in. In it, she says she's been making Ray a pre-game meal for 15 years! I had no idea they'd been together for so long. Cute! She revealed that her favorite episode is with Rajon Rondo. She says that despite his guarded persona in the public eye, he's actually vibrant and hilarious. She also shared that Rondo doesn't have one set pre-game meal that he eats before every game, which she found to be shocking, because we all know Ray Allen is Mr. Ritual.

If you're looking for the recipe from the episode which already aired, with Kevin Youkilis, you can view it here. I watched, and it looked really yummy.

Read on for more video, with Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Wes Welker and Tiffany Ortiz.

More on "The Pre-Game Meal" w/Shannon Allen


*This post has been updated with **VIDEO** and you can view it by clicking HERE!*

Rajon Rondo will play co-host with Shannon Allen on her cooking show, "The Pre-Game meal." Shannon dished on what the episode will feature: 

“He helped me prepare the unfried, crispy, baked chicken,” Shannon said in an e-mail. “I also made cornbread, 'go green beans,' and a less-sweet than usual version of a traditional southern specialty, sweet tea. Rondo is from Louisville, Kentucky, and grew up on some serious homespun Southern cuisine. I tried to incorporate a healthy twist on some of his favorites.”
In each episode, Shannon and her guest sit and talk over the meal they’ve made.
“Rajon and I chat… about food, what’s important to him on and off the basketball court and learn about his personal 'pregame meal,' as well as his thoughts about diet and exercise.”
