I am a lurker in the group and thoroughly look forward to reading, so I
thought I would get some input for this Sunday's Steelers game. Here's what
I'll be working with:

-I have 4 or 5 people over
-I have a one-bedroom apartment with, if you can believe it, 1 foot of
counter space!! Can't WAIT to buy a house!
-I like to put out a spread that can be done pretty much beforehand so that
I can enjoy the game and put out the main course at half-time
-I usually do "Pittsburgh" favorites; kielbassi, ham barbeque, pot roast

If anyone's up to it, I'd love to hear from you! Robin

Robin,

How about serving guests a bowl of wheaties or cheerios on arrival? It's
a little late for 1 pm kickoff, but it's simple and who can refuse?

How about some good old Islays chipped ham subs, pigs in blankets,
fish sandwiches and fries (although making those ahead would be tough)?

Very funny....4:15 kick off! If you've ever been to Pittsburgh, you
understand the importance of Steelers Sunday. For a 1 pm kick off I'd have
to serve those Wheaties with beer!

Thanks, Steve! I did the Isaly's last game. I guess I could try the
stuffed cabbage. That was handed over to me last Christmas and I didn't do
a very good job. But, dasm! Now my mouth is watering for them! R

If you want something different and space-saving, you could make
soup, stew, or chile and keep it warm in a pot on the stove. Muffins
and a salad would round out the menu. Dips and junque food, too, I
guess.

Kewl!!

Here in PA they don't sell kegs of beer on Sundays so the chore is
keeping a keg cold over Saturday night... and not tapping it until
gametime.

Yeah!!!!!!! Things are at crazy here!! I do live for my Stillers!

As for the cabbage, I used my grandfather's recipe, so they tasted fine, but
I didn't roll them well and the cabbage wasn't quite right. The Mom has

Ah, yes........I'm only 10 minutes away from the "O", thankfully it's harder
to park than ever in Oakland or I would be as big as a house. Sometimes you
just gots to have a dog and fries. Still the best! R

I realized just after I hit "send" that the joke might be missed...
so here's a variation:

New England (Patriots) Clam Chowder?

Anyway, I've never made chowder, but I would probably check
foodtv.com and epicurious.com first. I'm pretty much a traditionalist.
I like my chowder on the thin side, not thickened, and not overloaded
with potatoes.

The schedule above me desk shows the game starting at 4:15pm on CBS.
Does your party really start at 1pm? That's cool...

DOI! *snort* I am usually not THAT ditzy........yep the game is 4:15, but,
no, folks will probably come over about 2.......we do the whole pre-game
deal. And this game is a biggie! I'll not hold your Pat love against you!

No problem here either...the streak will have to end sometime, and
either a better team or a luckier team will do it. Bring it on!

Since mid-year last year, we've been hearing over and over again
how the Pats will lose (for those not indoctrinated to Boston-area
media, everyone is extremely negative, columnists, hosts, callers,
etc.). Same thing this year...Indianapolis was going to win, then
Seattle, then the Jets. Now the Steelers.

In the middle of all of this has been a series of really good
football games, and I've enjoyed every one of them.

Yeah, that's the way it goes. I remember the Steelers, Dolphins,
Cowboys, etc dynasty years. They come and go (mostly go) but ya gotta
stay with 'em, good times and bad.

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna
eat the next thing that comes outta it's ass?"

I would go with hot sausage subs. If you got a crock pot, tonight before you
go to bed put about 3-4 pounds of uncooked hot sausage in there along with two
diced onions and two diced peppers, an 8 oz package of sliced mushrooms, and
two big 28 ounce cans of diced tomatores (add the liquid to the crock pot also,
don't drain it), and perhaps a can of tomato sauce. The prep time for this is
about 15 minutes, and most of that is dicing the onions and peppers. Cook on
medium overnight, and when you get up in the morning turn the temperature down
to low. Serve with some big toasted sub rolls and some good potato or
macaroni salad..

One good thing about making this is that once all the sausage is gone, you can
use the sauce that remains and either freeze it or use it immediately as a base
for your next pot of spaghetti sauce. All you have to do is add tomato paste
(probably 2 or 3 small cans) until it gets to the desired thickness, then add
browned ground beef or meatballs or more cooked sausage or a combination
thereof.
