Why in the world couldn't they have this game on a SATURDAY night instead of Sunday?? Who wants to party on Sunday knowing they have to get up and go to work early Monday morning.

Call in sick to your boss Sudo! (sick of work, that is)
Oh --wait a minute -- you ARE the boss -- right?? :unsure:
Actually.....Super Bowl MONDAY is the most called in sick day of the year in the US. (Found that one out the hard way) :D Some folks ask for it off every year to avoid being the statistic....anymore. ;)
This year this single gal will be going to the local hang out with a friend and will win no matter who gets the trophy!
This coming sunday is Superbowl Sunday..........next to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, one of the holiest days of the year :blink:
How are you going to spend it?
Like most years, I don't even know who's playing in it, but I will take a bit of time to find out and to find out who won, just so I can talk about it the next day with people who care. I may watch the final few minutes and read a few news articles or forum posts about it, for the same reason. Otherwise, I don't much care. I stopped caring about professional football when they stopped caring about their players at least pretending to be decent people.
Um, I guess I don't have the sports gene. I think I'm supposed to be worked up about this (I live near Seattle), but damned if I can manage any enthusiasm.
As with most any professional sport, I just don't care. Well, except for Sumo, I get a kick out of that. But it doesn't get a lot of airplay around here...
I'll tape the game and skip through the game to watch the commercials and the half time show. Very Motown at half time as well as some New Orleans music.
Ya;ll are frustrating me here...........(NOT BAD FOR A TRANSPLANTED SUTHNER;))
Okay, I don't care if you like football or not...........I want your recipes and menu ideas for a huge "private bash." You pick the sport, superbowl, world series, stanley cup, wimbledon, olympics (summer, winter who gives a "f")
Come on you guys.............get outside of your "nine dots" will ya? :unsure: :blink:

Radar -- Mea Culpa. :( I guess I mis-interpreted your initial post.
I thought you were asking who was looking for romance and *quality time*,
vs. some ole football game.
Being a single guy, with no interest in sports (except for the Tour de'France)
I felt completely inadequate in answering what I thought your question meant.
Now that you have made it known that you are looking for recipes, etc. --
you might get some *quality responses* here.
PS ~~~~~
(The only *four-play* here at my house is me picking on the four fiddle strings!)
I don't much care for football or any other sports for that matter except rodeos and girls mud wrestling.
But when you're watching football, what could be better than a big bowl of BORSCHT?
Here is my favorite borscht recipe...
2 lb Lean beef in 1/2 inch cubes or pork ribs
2 cn Beef broth
Water * 6 oz Tomato paste
1 t Salt
1/2 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Black pepper
1 tb Vegetable oil
3 lg Garlic cloves,minced
2 lg Onions sliced (2 cups)
4 c Coarsely shredded beets
4 c Coarsely shredded cabbage
2 c Coarsley shredded carrots
1 1/2 c Thinly sliced celery
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley OR
2 tb Dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 ts Dried dillweed
1 t Dill seed
1 t Celery seed
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 ts Sugar
A whole bunch of water
Servings: 12
Fresh lemon juice** *Add enough water to beef broth to make 12 cups liquid. **Use 2 to 4 tablespoons of lemon juice or to taste.
1. Brown beef quickly and transfer to a very large
soup kettle.
2. Add broth and water, tomato paste, salt, white and black pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
3. In skillet, heat oil, add garlic and onions and saute for 5 minutes. When meat is done, add to soup kettle with remaining ingredients. Bring back to boil, reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaves before serving.
NOTE: The flavor of this soup improves with reheating. This is a large recipe and leftovers can be frozen. Offer plain yogurt as a topping and serve with pumpernickel or rye bread or rolls.
Another wonderful dish you might try is Ron's Buffalo Hump Chili...
1 medium buffalo hump all chopped up (be sure to remove hide and hair first)
3 poblano peppers
1 or 2 envelopes of Williams chili powder
1 handful ground cumin seed
3 cans of Rotel tomatoes
2 mashed up garlic cloves
2 onions skinned and all chopped up
1 finely chopped cayenne pepper
about half a glass of masa harina mixed with water
salt and pepper
1. get a big cast iron pot and brown the meat with the onions.
2. Add all the other stuff except for the masa mix
3. fill the pot about 3/4 full of water and let it all simmer for 2 or three hours.
4. Mix in the masa mix and simmer for another half hour or so while stirring until it gets as thick as you want it.
At least nothing that tastes good. I'm told (by somebody that ought to know) to either keep my weight down, or pick out a nice casket. So, it's salads and diet pop. Yeah, big thrills.
Combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar and pepper; rub over both sides of steaks. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, onion, and next 9 ingredients (onion through salt) in an electric slow cooker. Add steaks; turn to coat. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting for 1 hour. Reduce heat setting to low; cook for 7 hours. Remove steaks; reserve sauce. Shred steaks with 2 forks. Return shredded steak to cooker; stir into sauce. Spoon 1/2 cup steak mixture onto bottom half of each roll; top with onion and pickles, if desired. Cover with tops of rolls.
Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)
Corn Salad
** all to taste - or to balance the color **
2 Cans White Shoepeg Corn
2 Tomatoes Chopped
Green Onions
1 TBSP Mayo
Salt
Pepper
Mix and let flavors meld in fridge for about an hour - even better if made the day before
Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice
This is the ultimate in thriftiness and convenience - beans in a slow cooker. The long, slow cooking time coaxes all the flavor from the sausage into the beans for a mild yet full-flavored dish. You can also cook in on low heat for 8 hours.
3 cups water
1 cup dried red kidney beans
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 (14-ounce) package turkey, pork, and beef smoked sausage, thinly sliced (such as Healthy Choice)
1 bay leaf
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Combine first 12 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover with lid; cook on high heat for 5 hours. Discard bay leaf; stir in salt. Serve over rice; sprinkle servings evenly with green onions.
Frozen Butterfinger Pie
40 chocolate graham crackers (10 full cookie sheets)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted
1 large egg white
Cooking spray
4 cups vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt
3 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
1 (2.1-ounce) chocolate-covered crispy peanut-buttery candy bar (such as Butterfinger), chopped
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place graham crackers in a food processor; pulse until crumbly. Add butter and egg white; pulse until moist. Press crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes; cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Freeze 15 minutes.
Remove yogurt from freezer, and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften. Spoon half of yogurt into prepared crust.
Combine the corn syrup, peanut butter, and milk in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle half of the peanut butter mixture over the yogurt in crust. Sprinkle with half of chopped candy bar. Repeat the procedure with remaining yogurt, peanut butter mixture, and candy bar. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 3 hours or until firm.
And, I always love the little weenies in the chili sauce/grape jelly stuff in the slow cooker, too.
I've got quite a few party favorites, but these are my mainstays.
Bruchetta is very simple, cheap & easy but tastes sooo good with fresh tomatoes and basil.
Bowls of green & black olives - add some kalamata olives if you want to get fancy. :)
Guacamole & chips are good (I have a recipe made with asparagus instead of avocados if you're interested)
Spinach Salad with Strawberries
Dressing Ingredients
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice, fresh
1/8 tsp. ginger, ground
1/2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 tsp. Sweet & Slender
1/2 Tbsp. parsley, dried OR 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped, (preferred)
2/2 tsp. lemon pepper
3 Tbsp. olive oil
4 drops hot chili oil
Salad Ingredients:
6 cups fresh spinach, washed and torn
2/3 cup sliced strawberries (about 6 whole)
2 radishes, sliced
1 green onion, chopped
3 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds, hulled
In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients thoroughly.
Place the prepared spinach into a serving bowl. Toss it with the salad dressing. Garnish the salad with the remaining ingredients. Enjoy!
Beef Fajitas
Ingredients:
1 can (10 oz.) RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
1 cup beer
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1-2 lbs. skirt steak, excess fat trimmed
2 medium onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 medium green bell peppers, sliced 1/4-inch thick
PAM No-Stick Cooking Spray
10 eight-inch flour tortillas
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup guacamole
1/2 cup taco sauce
Directions:
In a 9 x 12 x 2-inch baking dish, combine the RO*TEL, beer, lemon
juice, oil, garlic and black pepper. Place meat in dish, turning once to
coat both sides. Place onions and peppers over meat, cover and refrigerate
at least 6 hours, overnight if possible.
Remove meat and vegetables from marinade; set aside marinade.
Broil meat 3 inches from heat source for 8 minutes.
Flip meat, brush with remaining marinade and cook to medium doneness,
about 7 minutes. Slice beef across the grain into thin strips.
Ro-tel is its own food group in these parts. :D If we ever have friends, family, pedestrians, or favorite pets over to watch any kind of sporting event, the 2nd question after "Where's the beer?" is: "Got Ro-tel and Fritos?"
Combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar and pepper; rub over both sides of steaks. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, onion, and next 9 ingredients (onion through salt) in an electric slow cooker. Add steaks; turn to coat. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting for 1 hour. Reduce heat setting to low; cook for 7 hours. Remove steaks; reserve sauce. Shred steaks with 2 forks.

Corky's is the ultimate rolls royce of barbeque sauces. Ustacould buy it at Piggly Wiggly's, but these days I have my Aunt Vivi get the gallon jugs at Sam's and ship it to me.
I know Sudo prefers Topps sauce, (more vinegar, not so sweet) but my family has been die hard Corky's devotees since the restaurant opened up on Poplar right near Mom and Dad's house.
We'll be smoking a pork shoulder on Sunday, and of course have beans and mustard slaw. The only Southern way to serve real barbeque. Not that brisket stuff that Texans are fooled by. :wacko:
Most of my brothers and wives are going to Vegas for the big game. In fact, they left today. So I guess it'll just be us and the dogs, but a neighbor or two might wander over when they smell the smoker. :)
Ex, I'll show up!! AND I'll even bring the Rotel!! :D There's never a lack for cans of Rotel in my house.
Ron, I"ma gonna have to go lookin' for some of that BBQ Sauce! Sounds DEEEE-LISH! I also want to try some of Ron's Buffalo Hump Chili, but only if I can have some made by the chef himself. ;) (I'll pass on the borscht, though.)
Themex, LOL! That's how ya do it!! And if that don't work just make......reservations! :)
Ah, George, check out CookingLight.com or the magazine - they have lots of great, healthy good tasting food. They do a great job of substituting flavor, spices and such for the fat & calories.
Oh man.. you guys love Rotel in Texas just like here in Memphis?? I'll have you know my son insists on having Rotel at any and all functions where there's going to be a food fest. But around here.. we usually sop it up with white (restaurant) Frito-Lay tortilla chips. Not to say Fritos aren't good either. And yeah.. you know me.. I would prefer the vinagar based sauce to the sweet stuff.
Belle.. I was reading your recipes earlier today and hadn't had lunch! THAT was a big mistake but let me ax you a question... that crab dip you posted.. I printed it up and passed it around the office today to see what the ladies thought about it. The consensus was that (like you said) it was "different". I'm really tempted to try it out... so tell me.. is it yummy? I mean.. the coconut sounds strange but then again.. could be just the thing.
