I am smoking a chicken, and making cheesy cauliflower bake and salad for
dinner. 1 small bag of peanuts in the shell, and 2 very cold, almost
freezing, Miller Chills during the game, one in the first half, and one in
the second half. Just the two of us this year, so nothing really fancy.
Yours? Friends coming, or you going somewhere else?

We're just staying home, watching the game on our new 47 inch flat screen.
I'll make something to munch on, and we'll hang out and relax.

I'm making chicken wings. We like them broiled with a coating of garlic,
Chinese 5 spice powder and soy sauce. A tablespoon of each does it.

I might also make some guacamole the real way without any crap from a
jar, just avocado, sweet onion, diced fresh tomato, salt and fresh key
lime juice. DH likes to dip baby carrots in it. I'll do a few corn chips.

I am rooting for New Orleans. The whole Katrina thing, you know. What I
really am interested in is the commercials.

Here, a popcorn bowl is something big enough to fit your popcorn in I am
truly thankful to the Americans who over time have made a serving bowl/dish
etc for every occasion. My prized possession is my glass hard-boiled egg
plate. It looks fabulous filled with devilled eggs!

I've had several egg things over the years. No glass ones though.

Similar to this which I am not sure is plastic or glass. Mine has a nice
glass.

I can remember one of my friends getting a lead crystal Ritz cracker server
at her wedding shower. She was impressed that it held a whole roll of Ritz.
I can't remember the last time I served Ritz to anyone. My husband does eat
them occasionally straight from the box with some sort of cheese. But
really I buy them once a year if that.

We bought them at Xmas, first time in years! We put creamed cheese and chili
flavoured smoked oysters on top.

Aww, never seen those. My late aunt used to give all the adult nieces and
nephews a token pressie at Xmas, just something small. My girl cousins and I
used to have great fun trying to work out what the things were we actually
got. One year we decided my gift was a pickled onion picker upperer. Damn me
if it wasn't the coolest thing! I was so pleased. I used it for many, many
years. It looked sorta like a syringe and you grabbed the onion with claws,
like those claw games at amusements centres where you pay a bunch of money
to keep missing the toys I believe some of the things she gave out were
gifts for games at Tupperware parties. I recently acquired (from goodness
knows where) a keyring, It is a miniature Tupperware shape-o. I am thrilled!

I didn't know you could get them there. I'm not much of a cracker person,
myself. I think perhaps because the only time I ever got them at home was
when I was sick. Sort of like plain Jell-O.

We had one of those. Don't know if we still do. It was sold as an olive
grabber. My husband was intrigued by it. Not that he has the patience to
actually use such a thing.

My maternal grandma ordered cases of things when they had a store. We'd all
get the same thing for Christmas. One year it was stuffed poodles. One
cousin was angry with me because I got the pink one and she wanted it.

After the store closed, they kept all the stock in an old railroad car
behind the house. We were allowed to go in there and shop for birthday
presents.

Ah, an olive grabber. Back in the day I never ate olives or most veggies
other than potatoes, lol. So to me it was a pickled onion "grabber".

I've seen similar things in the hardware dept. called nail grabbers or screw
grabbers or some such thing.

I've always eaten olives. As a child, I only knew of 2 kinds. The black
and the green. With or without pits. The green ones might be stuffed. We
were allowed 5 of each. I think perhaps because they are so expensive.

I always ate a lot of vegetables, mainly raw ones. I have some tiny tongs
for serving those.

I have a sort of a claw like tongs, which work perfectly for serving
asparagus or long whole green beans. I got it for $.50 at a yard sale, and
it is one of the most well used items in my kitchen.

Yes, I like mine too. Around here everyone loves those eggs, but the really
bizarre thing about mine is that it holds 15 halves, why not 14 or 16? It's
a mystery to me. :-)

Maybe they assumed that you would eat one as you made them.
