Why not start this blog with a post about the mother of all food events, the Superbowl! Here's a picture showing the feast we enjoyed (and when one of your roommates has been a die hard Packers fan since birth, and they just happen to be playing in the biggest sporting event of the year, a feast you must have.)
Hot wings are right in front with a sauce made using Frank's hot sauce, butter, chipotle powder, and smoked paprika. Going clockwise is the super simple chili I make by sauteing peppers, onions, and ground beef, to which I add beef stock, crushed tomatoes, and seasonings. Next to the chili is barbecue wings with just store bought Famous Dave's Sweet & Zesty sauce, but I did add some of my awesome barbecue rub to it for some extra flavor. Then there is just plain wings seasoned with salt, pepper, and chipotle powder. To the right of the that is the pulled pork, which was a shoulder roast that I cooked slowly in the oven almost all day with that same rub on it. Of course cheese dip is a must and this is the classic mix of Velveeta cheese and Rotel tomatoes. And in the center we have good old Lighthouse blue cheese dressing, (because what are hot wings without blue cheese?)
Everything was delicious and many compliments were given to the cook. Tonight is soup night and since my roommate is sick I'm making chicken noodle. Oh yeah! Chicken noodle soup and Jersey Shore yeah! Expect a post about that shortly.
You know, I've yet to be invited to one of your famous Super Bowl parties. What gives?
