I posted this originally back in Dec 13th. Most of the snow is gone, but it is just bitter cold now. It has been down in the single digits lately. Not as bad as some years where below zero was all too common.

I think I am going to buy some old fashion spray deodorant so as to help out global warming a bit...

:)COOL! Just use Right Guard and you'll be fine.

Speaking of Right Guard, that reminds me of football, are you going to have a Big Super Bowl party? If so you must start a thread and let us know what foods you'll be "Throwing Down" for the big event! I am not a fan of football but I still like to "act" the part and cook all kinds of goodies and have fun with it!

You know, thanks for reminding me. I do need to get that started.. I usually make up some chili, and some sort of steak sandwiches. Occasionally I throw in a batch of Golumpkis too.

My good friend who owns a tavern next door to me always has a super bowl party and I usually end up cooking much of the food. I guess I have to go withdraw some beer money from the ATM and go have a chat with him this week.

Yeah the planning can be just as fun as the actual event Steak sandwiches mmmm those sound good! (that's one I never thought of)

I must confess that is the one party each year I allow myself true over-indulgence. I feel terrible the next day, but it is so much fun I don't mind.
Some of my favorites over the years are as you said Chili, then Hormel's Little Smokies done in BBQ Sauce & grape jelly in a small crockpot, Baby-back ribs, Hot Artichoke Dip, and on and on the list goes. Then of-course there are all the drinks and yelling and cheering for "MY" team and by the end of the night............forget it "stick a fork in me I'm done"!:o

I do miss the good old Howard Cosell days of football, I was a huge Miami Dolphins fan. I don't know if you remember him or not, but he made football into a "pop cult icon" status in his days of football broadcasting. He was the guy you could "love to hate", but grew on you and you did not even realize until he was gone how dear he had become to you (like Julia Child:)).

Jafo here's wishing you alot of fun planning and throwing your own version of an incredible super bowl extravaganza, CCCathy

P.S. Your Golumpkis are on my list for this Saturday. I will let ya' know how they come out! On Sun. I am baking a Cuban Stuffed Pork Shoulder "a lo caja china" I saw on Bobby Flay's Throwdown last weekend, I am having to improvise just a little as I can not get Guava Shells here and am simply going to reduce down some guava nectar and use that. If it turns out good and is worth the effort I will post the recipe on a thread here.

Good luck on that stuffed shoulder. I saw that episode too, and thought about making it, but I don't have that wooden box to cook it in.

As for the steak sandwiches, here is what I made last year:

I remember Howard well. I watched him more when it came to boxing. I remember many of the fun him and Ali (Casius Clay) used to have.
