Not super interested in the game but it's Superbowl Sunday, an unrecognized national holiday. I have no dog in the fight, hopefully it's a nice battle that comes down to the last minute to determine winner and loser.

What 'cha making (if anything)?

Me: Only having a few folks over. Maybe like 8 of us total.

Food will be simple...
Snack food is typical cheese, crackers, sausage, veggie and dips and chips and stuff
Couple racks of St. Louis ribs done in the crock pot.
Chicken and broccoli alfredo
Bacon cheese burgers
Monkey bread
Brownies

just knowing you'd kindly let me in iff'n I knocked on your door (wearing a bib) is why I call you "friend".
It's not why I call you Theodore though.

Have a great time, that menu is fab!

Burgers, chicken sandwiches, BLT's. I will stay away from the BLT's as Dave's Killer Bread is being used. A big veggie plate with salsa and guacamole. Nice apples and pears. Carrera oranges.

Nothing special on the fixin's but you are always welcome to come a knockin'

My family ingrained into me to always cook an extra serving or two and to always have a seat at the dinner table empty in case someone in need needs a meal. During the holidays we place a candle in front of the extra seat and the porch lights on... a beacon to light the way for the those that may be suffering and have stuff.

Kinda corny but it's a tradition that I will carry on.

MIL is here this weekend so not gonna do anything special. Then again, since we no longer host a SB party and our kids do their own thing, my wife and I just do simple finger food anyway. Soy beans (edamame), boiled peanuts, One-Ton Chips, poke, char siu, roast pork, fried chicken and ribs have been some of the more frequent items.

I'll take a double dose of the BLT's but hold the tomato and add extra bacon (I'm not a fan of tomatoes other then using them to cook with).

Unfortunately/fortunately I'm now working so my food plans have changed. By the time I get home from work it will be around half time is my guess. So I might just stop and get a pizza on the way home.

you was raised right, Theodore!

If someone stopped by just before a meal was being served, my Grandmother would say, "Add more water to the soup. We've got company".

Our game watching menu is gonna change since our son said he's coming here to watch the game. However, he has an ulterior motive - he's gonna wash his car here since the car wash area at his condo is blocked up. Since kickoff is at 1:30 pm HST, I guess he's gonna come for lunch too.

For the game probably go with some boiled peanuts, poke, chips of some sort since I'm out of OTC(!), dip and mebbe some cut veggies. Dinner is gonna be ribs and burgers.

I just got back from the store, going to make Buffalo chicken temale lasagna. I use corn tortillas instead of pasta. Did grab an untrimmed tri tip for $3.87 a pound.

Had left over ricotta cheese so I added dry ranch seasoning to it for the tamale lasagna, broth came out great so I hope everyone enjoys its. Added some hot sauce and pepperoncini brine to the broth.

Taking a six pack of Deschutes Red Chair with me.

not when they're braised in garlic, ginger, soy and oyster sauce..."meat" and skin practically slide off the bones...

this is a dish that's derived from peasant style cuisine that has transitioned onto some mainstream menus

but Kelly and I didn't have that for the Super Bowl...she took a pass on hosting a Super Bowl party this year...she had had enough after more than 10 consecutive years...our kids and their families did other things...son went to Kauai and daughter went to Disneyland...quiet house...

so it was just her and me eating carnitas tacos for lunch, 3 hours before the game...we shared a bowl of popcorn during the game...Kelly said she'd rather watch a Hallmark Christmas movie... so I went to the man cave and polished off a bag of roasted peanuts in the shell...

oh, I misunderstood...


Wingtip shoes are a classic look in menswear. They are characterized by a leather overlay on the toe that makes a W shape (or a wing shape).

d'oh!


apologies Frank...I totally missed it...

but in my impoverished and culturally distinct childhood, I was much more familiar with the tips of chicken wings than with wingtip brogues...

this goes to the heart of the discussion about the biases of standardized aptitude tests and their use

I remember when my Dad bought a pair of wingtip shoes. He said they were a classic style but my youthful mind didn't think much of them. I definitely like chicken and turkey wingtips better.

So that begs me to wonder, how come you can find chicken feet in the stores (...well, at least in some of them...) but not duck and turkey feet?

A former co-worker of mine used to rave about Duck Feet Noodle in soup and thought he was joking until I went to a restaurant in Downtown Chinatown and saw it on the menu. Tried it, was pretty good.
