[bearfan454]

Over here us Austin DUers are having:

fried turkey
smoked whole pork loin
50-50 spicy deer sausage
50-50 jalapeno deer sausage
deer cubes butterfly'd open w/ jalapeno in the middle wrapped in bacon cooked over charcoal
deer hard salami
hot wings
cheese cubes
yankee baked beans
macaroni salad
jalapeno deviled eggs
avacado dip
chips and homemade hot sauce
black olives and pimento stuffed olives
pickled mild jalapenos.
Claussen Kosher dill pickles
Velma's brownies - some with nuts some without nuts
Baby Ruth, 100,000, butterfinger, almond joy, nestle's crunch candy

I better not eat any breakfast. I have a Dr. appt 2 days later for my annual physical. Do you think my cholesterol will be high ? I do.

1. Wish I could join y'all

it sounds like so much fun. But stuck here in quietsville, nc. *sigh*

[Malva Zebrina]

2. How many people are there going to be to eat all of that stuff?

wow, that sounds like enough food to feed an army for a week.

What is 50-50 spicy deer sausage?

[bearfan454]

3. Over 20 people

50-50 deer sausage is made from half deer meat and half pork. Deer meat has absolutely no fat or cholesterol so if they didn't add pork it would be too dry and the casings would split.

4. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it. What a bummer!

That is quite a menu. It sounds like you went all out for this.

:yourock:

[bearfan454]

5. I did

Mrs bearfan helped a lot too.

[Intelsucks]

6. I did have the opportunity to meet 4 DU'ers last Sunday

GOPisEvil, VelmaD, SoniaS, and Fenris...

Maybe we'll do another one of those Sunday morning brunches again sometime.

[bearfan454]

10. If it were on a Saturday I could make it.

I work midnights and Sundays suck for me.

[Intelsucks]

11. I'm sure a Saturday can be arranged.

7. A Few Of Us Aren't As Fortunate As You Are

Try three beers at a local bar and another five bucks for a super-bowel party "just" because y'all ain't around.

[Scottie72]

8. Just spending a simple night

at home with Danny. We are going to be making some Buffalo Wings, throw back a few beers/drinks and sit back and enjoy the game.

9. spitfire shrimp

Stolen from the delectable Rachel Ray:

Quick tip: When "chopping" chives, don't. Use kitchen shears. Snip snip snip, works much better. Also do the same thing if you ever have to chop scallions, the scissors don't bruise as much. I also found that my largest nonstick skillet wasn't big enough, so I split the recipe in half and did it in two shifts. It's so fast, it really doesn't matter. And that way, half the shrimp is spicier, as it's been soaking longer. Yum.

Seasoning:
1 lime, juiced
2 ounces (1/4 cup) hot cayenne pepper sauce
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon crab boil seasoning
Shrimp:
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
2 shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
2 pounds jumbo shrimp peeled and de-veined*
12 to 15 blades fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
*Ask for easy-peel raw deveined shrimp at seafood counter of market

Preheat large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
Combine lime juice, hot sauce, cumin, red pepper flakes and seafood seasoning blend.
Quickly saute garlic and shallots in oil and butter for 1 minute, add shrimp and cook 3 minutes, tossing and turning frequently. Dump pink, firm, cooked shrimp from hot pan into hot seasoning blend and toss in seasoning mixture to coat shrimp evenly. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm or chilled.

12. That sounds damn good !

Mmmmmmmmmm !

[lazarus]

13. What really rocks is

how blasted easy it is to fix. Literally ten minutes in the kitchen, if you've got all the stuff right at hand. So you can make up a batch for a quick snack, then realise you've got way more than you can eat, and save some for later. Mmmmmmm........

[bearfan454]

14. Saturday night kick

Cooking my ass off right now.

[GOPisEvil]

15. I am going to the gym tomorrow morning and Monday morning.

Tomorrow afternoon and evening, I am eating. A lot.

I bought a cake with the Super Bowl logo on it. Heehee...it's cute.

[supernova]

16. Ooh, what kind of cake is it?

:9

[GOPisEvil]

17. Chocolate with fudge icing.

I'm amazed it is still intact after sitting in my apartment all afternoon. Looks :9

[supernova]

18. Hmmmm, chocolate cake

is my favorite! :9 :9 :9 :9

How can you stand to wait til tomorrow? ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

19. I should have bought two!

;-)

Bearfan is going to kill us with food. Or is that fill us with food? :D

[supernova]

20. If I were there

I'd be alternating between the claussen pickles and the choc cake.

cake-->pickles-->cake-->pickles..... sigh, what's a girl to do? :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

21. You're not, um...

...you know, are you? Pickles and chocolate cake? ;-)

[supernova]

22. No, No, Not!!

LOL!

I just like really salty things juxtaposed with really sweet things. Always have.

I have an olive habit too. ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

23. Oh ok...lol

Chocolate covered pretzels?

[supernova]

24. Now that's the ticket!

:9 :9 :9

After the choc cake of course.

[GOPisEvil]

25. LOL!!!

Now, can you explain why french fries taste so good with a chocolate shake? The best is Wendy's fries with a Frosty. :9:9:9

[supernova]

26. Humm

I don't know about choc shakes and fries. I'll have to explore that. :think: But it must be something about the taste of shake against the brown fries. :9

I've always said if someone could invent a good-tasting salty choc fudge they could market it to PMS-ing women and make a bazillion dollars. :D

OK, seriously hungry now. Grr! I'll go get a glass of wine instead.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Sorry!

I'm keeping an eye on my cake though. :D

[bearfan454]
