jabe Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My wife wanted me to bake a turkey, so I've got a 14 pounder in the oven as I write. I'm covered on all angles. Either sandwiches or a semi Thanksgiving spread. And lots of cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to get her to consume plenty of liquids, but is somewhat of a challenge. We'll be watching the game but I will be concentrating on getting my daughter better. BTW.....I'm rooting for the 49er's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Strider, I want to come to your party...sounds yummy. We're not have a party, but I will be fixing hot dogs, potato salad, guacamole with chips and the usual football shaped chocolate cake. The only time I get to use the special cake pan. Just wish I could of put the Patriot logo on it. I'd invite you over to Lake Elsinore but then you'd have to listen to my brother and sister-in-law fight. Sorry to hear about your daughter...hope it's not too serious. Well, I had a feeling I was forgetting something in my food preparations...and I was! I totally forgot about making my Maryland Crab Cakes! D'oh! Hope this doesn't jinx my Baltimore pick. Okay, I need to address some misconceptions some people here have expressed about my bacon brownies. 1. There is no maple syrup involved...and no frosting whatsoever of any kind. I never frost my brownies, and while you may have read about bacon caramelized with maple syrup elsewhere, that's not how I do it. U use a judicious amount of brown sugar, that's all. It's not overly sweet to where it overwhelms the bacon's natural saltiness. It's a perfect balance of salt/sweet that compliment each other. Like I said, not one person who has had my brownies has failed to love them. Another important distinction, I use high quality chocolate, bacon and butter in my brownies. No brownies from a mix...completely made from scratch using either Valrhona or Scharffen Berger bittersweet or semisweet chocolate. Oh, and the Gloop I make is NOT the gloop that Anjin-san posted...but it's equally disgusting. My gloop is equal measures of Velveeta cheese and salsa put in a bowl and nuked in the microwave for around 30-45 seconds until the cheese is melted. Stir it up until it's all mixed together and serve with chips. It looks and sounds gross, but the kids love it...just like they prefer Kraft macaroni & cheese to homemade. Bon appétite everyone! Remember, it's a long game...pace yourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypeO Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Fairly simple fare this afternoon/evening. Baked chicken Buffalo style. Chips and ranch dip (real Breakstone sour cream with Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix). And one of my favorite snacks - kind of an hors d'oeuvres, I guess - I don't even have a name for it: Most kinds of crackers work, but I'm using Wheat thins. They're then topped with Philadelphia cream cheese, ham, and a bread and butter pickle chip. It's just me and the kids, so no real serious spread involved.

Strider Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Bumping this up for this year's Super Bowl, especially since we have some newcomers like pottedplant that have joined our little football gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottedplant Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks Strider-man. I will be having chili, muffalettas, King cake to celebrate Carnival and the Super Bowl. Plenty of beer to drown my sorrows when Denver loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nothing too earth shattering. Popcorn chicken (mainly for the kids) Kielbasa; in this homemade red sauce of brown sugar, ketchup, red wine vinegar, ginger, and soy sauce. Chicken Wings : hot and spicy + teriyaki Black bean salsa; a mrs. Walter recipe with black beans, fiesta corn, rotel, and green onions, among other things... Old Bay steamed shrimp with cocktail sauce (extra horseradish of course!) and picking up some of mrs. Walter's favorite sushi! Just having some close friends and their kids over. You west coast folks have it good. You can have a good party and still be functional the next day! I wish this game was on a Saturday night!
