Bowl of Cheerios and a glass of bourbon

Pizza, delivered, not frozen.

My contribution is wings, vodka, and my 55" HDTV.

There will also be dips, chips, caviar, and some multi-foot long sandwich, and crockpot chili or meatballs, but I'm not involved in those components.

I think I'm going to make homemade pretzels.  And possibly smoke a brisket.


I don't know.

Ro-Tel + Velveeta

I'll be making chili, cornbread, carrots/celery + bleu cheese dressing, and root veggie chips with homemade hummus.

Everyone else is bringing booze and munchies.

Eutamias21: root veggie chips

Oooh, do you make these yourself?

iamrex: Eutamias21: root veggie chips

Oooh, do you make these yourself?

Yep. They're not very good, haha. They'd be better if I used a mandolin and deep fried them. Instead I cut them by hand, toss them in olive oil, white vinegar, salt, and pepper, and bake in a 250 degree oven, flipping every 30 minutes or so until they're dried out and "crisp."

Eutamias21: root veggie chips

Isn't that just a potato chip? It's a root, it's a vegetable and it's in chip form.

Do you season them at all?  And besides potatoes/sweet potatoes, what else do you use?

RexTalionis: Isn't that just a potato chip? It's a root, it's a vegetable and it's in chip form.

I don't use potatoes, though. Beet, kohlrabi, radish, parsnip, etc.

iamrex: Do you season them at all? And besides potatoes/sweet potatoes, what else do you use?

Re: seasoning, really only salt and pepper. Occasionally cumin or paprika. Re: types, see above.

radish cooks up ok?  I would think there was too much water in them.

do they crisp up at 250?  how long does it take?  I would maybe try bumping the heat up to around 450 towards the end of cooking.

soosh: do they crisp up at 250? how long does it take? I would maybe try bumping the heat up to around 450 towards the end of cooking.

It takes a LONG time. It's the only way to sufficiently dry them out. At least 90 minutes.

any reason you don't fry them in a wok or saucepan?  just to keep them less greasy?

Tacos and tequila.

Friend gave me a deep fryer years ago - toss in fresh wings for ~10 minutes, dump them in a sealed bowl with butter and Frank's hot sauce, and shake. Yum.

This explains why I tossed the fryer and am currently on a diet.

One of the people coming to our party is breaking out the football field Mexican dip, par example:




I'm less dedicated and just making chili.

muck4doo: Tacos and tequila.

Good call.

Good food & atmosphere.

soosh: any reason you don't fry them in a wok or saucepan? just to keep them less greasy?

Yah. Plus I don't feel like buying a sh*tton of oil.

My bil is hosting and firing up the smoker. I'm just doing wings, homemade hummus, and probably queso.

BKITU: Ro-Tel + Velveeta

Help, Fark, you're my only hope.  Is Ro-Tel cheese still available? When I lived in Texas, they had it.  It was not as rubbery as Velveeta.  It was better than Velveeta.  It melted and had better consistency than sauce made with real cheddar.  It was somewhere between cheddar and Velveeta.  I haven't seen Ro-Tel brand cheese in years, I've even looked on Amazon.com.

Anybody?  Anyone at least remember Ro-Tel Cheese?  Mixed with the chilis it's the best dip ever.

Once and Future Lurker: A big pot of chili with all the fixings laid out buffet style

I'm probably going to do this, along with homemade cornbread.  It's a winner every time.

Buffalo Chicken Dip was a hit last year so it's making a comeback.

I also am making a king cake.

I have some spiral sandwiches in the freezer.

And am gonna do some crue de vegetables.

I've got some homemade queso.

Not sure what else....

This cheddar bacon ranch bread was popular last year, not sure I'm going through the trouble this time thoug

Chili Cheese Dip

1 pkg. cream cheese, press it into the bottom of a glass pie pan with a spoon until it covers it evenly
1 can Chili With No Beans, spread over cream cheese
1 pkg. shredded Mexican cheese, sprinkle over chili until none can be seen.

Microwave until melty (about six minutes,) then eat with those scoop-shaped tortilla chips. You can also put a Sterno under the dish to keep it melty, if you really want to be fancy about it.

Wow that looks delicious but I don't know if my heart could handle it.

Garden and Gun just posted the Bacon Explosion

I remember that, but haven't seen it since I lived in Oklahoma, sixteen years ago.

Puppy Bowl Chow!

I know, right?  I know I'm not crazy.  I get the feeling it's not made anymore.

I'm eating whatever you bring over.

Man, that site is 1996tastic!

I made these last year, and they were a hit - Bacon wrapped chicken wing lollipops.

An 11" Subway, a bag o' chips, and lotsa Bells Two Hearted Ale.

Bowl of purple jesus

Lots of shrimp and cocktail sauce

Mini beef wellingtons

Sweet potato fries

Two words: Puppy Bowl.
Also, cheap no-excuse beer, good soup, and mebbe a quick visit to the nightclub two doors down. A loving and kind woman to come home to.

Only on SuperBowl Sunday, a BBQ place by me makes smoked, cajun pork sausage, wrapped in bacon with their homemade sauce over the top.  Simply exquisite.

MEAT

Homemade pan pizza (Cook's Country via Cooking for Engineers)

Buffalo wing soup. Not sure what else yet.
