I just double checked the date for the Super Bowl and discovered we have
company for several days around the Super Bowl.

Nuts!

Any suggestions?

I do have pretzels and Chex mix in stock and plenty of beer.

I just have a brain freeze.

Chili?
Chili Dogs
Peel N eat shrimp?
Order In?


What are you doing?

Thanks

We don't do anything because daughter and I don't watch football. Husband
does but he may or may not be home.

I have made espinaca con queso for parties though. Always goes over well.
Serve with chips and vegetables.

I like to serve hot hors d'oeuvres/appetizer type things. When we have
guests in for a big game it's also fun to ask everyone to bring their
own favorite hors d'oeuvres or appetizer things.

When our son was in high school the orchestra sold Super Bowl Subs for
their biggest annual fund raiser. 6" sub, chips, a soda and cookie.
Super Bowl really hasn't been the same since those years. It's amazing
how much we looked forward to Super Bowl Subs on Super Bowl Sunday. (-:

Somebody should post a recipe for Velveeta. We should be able to make it at
home.

There are some recipes out the
http://www.amywilla.com/2011/12/make-your-own-velveeta/
http://www.grouprecipes.com/75953/ho...ta-cheese.html
http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-...-copycat-87384

Not many ingredient required by the looks of it: gelatin, cheddar
cheese and powdered milk.

I was going to ask if Velveeta is similar to Philadelphia cheese
spread, but looking at the pics it doesn't appear to be.

It's not but IMO, cream cheese tastes better for dips.

Velveeta is basically soft mild cheddar cheese.

I like sour cream to make dips but I've never tried cream cheese.

When is it? [quick google] Oh, Sunday, 2 Feb.

Not exactly sure what I'm doing. Laundry, housework,
maybe some sort of dinner. The usual.

We don't do sports, although if we surf through some curling,
we'll stop and watch. We also like lumberjack olympics,
and some of those absurd sports where big guys try to lift
a bus, and whatnot.

Note to self: check for Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

If anyone wants to make nachos from Velveeta, that stuff in a can is
the only way to go. Looking at Google images, there are lots of
brands out and you don't have to buy a commercial sized can to get it.

I sprinkle a tray of chips with colby-jack and then sprinkle on a can
of hot diced green chilis and put the whole works into the oven until
melted. You get more bites of peppers this way.

I have seen those 'velveeta' nachos at ball games or at the
movies, but I didn't think that's what people usually used
at home. I use cheddar, myself. Doesn't make for a gooey
mess like the plastic cheese.

Get yourself ready to watch the Winter Olympics from Sochi. The Olympic
motto is "Higher, Faster, Stronger". There is no mention of "Daintyer"
as in points for form in ice dancing or gymmastics in the Summer Games.

Extraneous "not." in Reply To.

We usually have a crowd of guests for a potluck. Our contributions are
the traditional items: chili and chicken wings (Buffalo and Miami
variants). This year, there's a good chance that our home team Seahawks
coud be in the dance. So we might need to put out a bowl of Skittles,
for good luck. Fot those not following NFL trivia, Skittles is the
secret fuel for Seattle's running back Marshawn Lynch.

I'd love to. Is anyone broadcasting them in their entirety? I know

Watching the last summer Olympics was a total waste of time. CBC was
carrying it here and what they ran was pretty much restricted to events
that Canadians were doing at the time. About 80% of air time seemed to
be devoted to commentators and their idiotic comments and interviews
with mainly Canadian athletes. Meanwhile, there are probably at least a
dozen events going on at any given time that would have been infinitely
more interesting than the comments and interviews. I spent some time
watching the American coverage and it was pretty much the same thing
expect it was American commentators and coverage of events the American
teams were in.

Watching the game. Maybe make my special "Super Bowl Chili"

Just read their is a shortage of Velveeta. That can ruin some Super
Bowl parties. The only time I use Velveeta and jarred salsa is for
Super Bowl to make that wonderful dip.

I recently added Universal Sports to our DirecTV package so I can see
the Olympics. They're an NBC owned station so will be showing more
events than I expect to see on the regular NBC station(s).

NBC has broadcast the Olympics in the US for far too many years and I
think their coverage totally sucks. Way back when ABC's Wide World of
Sports covered the Olympics they did it in a way to cover as many sports
as possible. They also included human interest stories about athletes
we may never have heard of or seen and then covered their efforts in
their event. Who remember the ski jumper from Scandinavia (don't
remember the country) who was expected to come in dead last, but was out
there giving it his best? Made for a great story and made watching
their coverage heads and shoulders above anyone else's before or since.

We had some distant relative stop by once for a few days. He couldn't smell
or taste. He asked for hot sauce and we had none. He said that he liked
the burning sensation it left on his tongue. So until he could go get some,
he used an insane amount of black pepper. He said it did the same.

I have to wonder if there really is a shortage. Or is this just good
viral marketing? They may have been overstocked and now it is depleted
and the $$$ are rolling in.

I went to the grocery store this morning and looked. There's plenty of

Interesting that he somehow gained international celebrity by being a
loser. It highlighted one of the problems with some Olympic events.
People like Eddie were able to compete because he had no competition at
home. All he had to do was to be brave enough to go down that run and go
airborne.

There has been a controversy over women's ski jumping. Women ski
jumpers have been pushing for years to be allowed to compete. They even
took it to court for the Vancouver, arguing that it violated the Charter
of Rights and Freedoms because it was discriminatory. The IOC's
argument against a women's event is that there just aren't enough women
ski jumpers to make it a true competition. If you only have a couple
women in each of a couple countries all they have to do to make it to
the Olympics is to show up, and then the odds are that they will win a
medal.

I just saw a picture from 1967 where a woman dared to run in the
Boston marathon and one of the organizer was attacking her as she
was running. I don't know if he was trying to tear off her number
or what. Imagine that, women weren't allowed to run in marathons.
Women not allowed to run, therefore there weren't female marathoners.

I bet there will be a lot more women ski jumping if they have a chance
to go to the Olympics.
