Because I'm an awesome planner (or maybe I am just a freak about my magazines), I ripped out a page from Rachael Ray October 2011 - and wrote the date on it - to share with you. As I mentioned yesterday, I know lots about pizza nachos, but nothing about football. But RR was kind enough to have an entire page summing up the game for me. The article covers everything from the quarterback being the person who throws the ball, to the value of the touchdowns. That being said, I still have no clue what an H-back is, or who the why the linebacker is watching the center if it's the rushers job to pick on the quarterback, but hey, baby steps.

Actually, the whole darned article was about hosting you own football game. Now, I may know nothing about sports, but even I think this sounds fun. Do you and your friends still gather around outside, get dirty and play games? I love playing outside, from volleyball in the mud, mountain biking, to wiffle ball. I don't need a clear explanation of the rules, I just like to play! I need to find some friends who aren't to tired at the end of the day to get out and play too. Handsome and I can ride our bikes together, but it takes more than two to have an awesome game of volleyball, and I'm just not the badminton type.

From BHG Special Interest: Tailgating

Ingredients:

  • 1 14-16 oz package beef cocktail wieners
  • 12 to 16 slices bacon, cut into thirds crosswise
  • 2 tbs butter
  • 1 teas onion powder
  • ½ teas garlic powder
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1 jar cheddar pasta sauce
  • 1 teas bottled hot sauce
  • ½ teas chili powder

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and place a wire rack over foil. Tightly wrap each wiener with bacon and secure with a wooden toothpick; lay on wire rack. Repeat until all wieners are wrapped. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bacon is slightly crispy. Cool for 10 minutes. When the wieners are cool enough to handle, remove the toothpicks and taste test one or two.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add onion powder, garlic powder, beer, pasta sauce, hot sauce, and chili powder. Stir to combine. Heat through.

Move to a small crock pot on low to keep warm while entertaining. If desired, use skewers to serve.

    If a linebacker isn't keeping the center occupied, the rushers can't get through to the quarterback because that center will block them. 🙂 It's really a fun game to watch until the players start doing the stupid dances and grandstanding. That's the stuff I can't stand. After all, where can you see such an impressive array of tight ends (believe it or not, that's another position, not just a description) in one place.

    Anywhoooo, your chicken looks amazing. I love any sticky, tingly chicken dish like that.

    These dishes look amazing. And, thanks for the magazine tip. I have a stack of foodie mags (some probably from October as well) that I will start ripping up and labeling for later posts. (I appreciated the football tips, too!)

    Great snacks - - even if you don't get the game ( and neither do I ... it's been explained to me a million times, and I still don't get it) you'd throw the perfect superbowl party with these little goodies.
