Super Bowl LII Food Thread

[GrizzlyBear]

Super Sunday's here, everybody!

This year it's gonna be just me & my gf. We'll have TX chili which I already made last night (tastes so much better when you cook it the day before). Later this afternoon I'll make the cornbread and then I'll prepare the guacamole an hour before kickoff. It's a quick and easy recipe. And as always, everything fresh and homemade.

I've also got Sierra Nevada Pale Ales and Coke in the fridge.

What are you guys having tonight?
Cheers!

I work from home so ya, but i wont be off in time to get any good food started; it'll be up to my wife or possibly any neighbors if they are doing something. 1 family has been hit hard w/illnesses and the other family has a young infant so might just be the fam this year.

Yesterday I picked up some pizza from the local pizza place.  The people who work there are really nice.  They were talking about today though.  LOL, I think they are under more stress than the players in this super bowl.  They must have an unbelievable workload today and tonight.  They were already hunkering down for the "Big Day" today.

At our house it will be pretty simple because it is just Mrs JABF and me.  We got up at 5:30am because my wife is helping at the church today.  They are cooking a super bowl breakfast for everyone to have a great brunch after church.  It is going to be one heck of a great meal (some mighty good cooks are helping to feed the thundering masses :-)

I will join my wife for the church service, but I'm not on this food committee thing with her (they put on these meals once a month).  I do serve on other committees though.  And I do help cook on some retreat weekends.  

But tonight, we are having a wild rice dish.  It is rich and creamy with mushrooms and some other really tasty stuff.  I don't have a recipe.  I just throw it together and let it simmer all day, then I cook the wild rice and add it tonight.  But that's it for us this year.  It is a snowy day here in Central Illinois, and a lot of snow is headed this way.  I thought this wild rice dish might be good for a cold winter evening :-)

Great choice on the Sierra Nevada Grizz.

Well I for one is super stocked to see the Pats lose and always look forward to SuperBowl with the Wifey. Not sure if the Boy or Girl will watch any but non the less we like the food.

I have just finished a pulled pork which we will put on buns and also some nachos. The nachos I sometimes just make them with tortilla shells in the oven with a bit of olive oil and seasalt and pepper. Afterwards we shred cheese, throw on some jalepenos and oven warm em. My wife also makes homemade chicken fingers with a sauce to die for. Throw in some Veggies and dip and we good. I like that cornbread idea thou, I should try it out.

As for drinks, alcohol kind? I have a bunch of local micro brew lying around as well as a good stock of various whiskys (16 different kinds), Rum, Vodka, A Slivovitz recommanded by Alex was it? Anyways I am good...I did do another wine event last night so I might be steering clear of the sauce today and drink the aqua.

30 friends getting together. Wife and I are making fish chowder. Kind of a bring your own buffet thing. Smoked chicken legs for a pregame snack before we head over.

Alright, I'm done shoveling snow, just took the cornbread out of the oven. Kitchen smells nice.

I'll start w/ the guac in a few.

Sorry fellas...I didn't have time to check the board at all yesterday. I made my chili and I smoked 3 racks of ribs. I have to say this year might have been my best ribs yet. I was a little nervous too because we got some snow and rain and I was worried about that affecting the temp in the smoker so I decided to keep them on longer than I had originally planned. I just made sure I was vigilant and kept mopping the ribs so they didn't dry out. We had wings and various meats and cheeses....plus beer....lots and lots of beer. I had some stouts, but once the game got going and I was done eating I broke out some Ommegang farmers saison.
