OK, so who's plannin' on making or taking food to a get together and to watch the Super Bowl game? I saw some survey that it was the second biggest eating day (behind Thanksgiving) and the second biggest grilling day (behind 4th of July). Now, while I don't know how true either of those statements are, I do know the relatively small gathering (9 people) Dane and I will be joining will have massive amounts of foods to eat and I, for one, will be the one manning the grill to brown up some chicken wings as requested by my friend, Lyn.
As usual, the gathering will be at her house (as she has the largest home with a huge open-plan living area with multiple televisions). One of their good friends must eat gluten free so his wife is bringing the hot dogs he can eat. I'm taking a good amount of Jimmy's Greek style chili sauce to top them with, along with a big bowl of chopped onions. Lyn's making a big pot of chili. As I said, she's asked me to grill up the wings ~ half will get topped with traditional BBQ sauce and the other half will get the orange juice concentrate/soy treatment. Doesn't make any difference what we do with them, they'll all get eaten!
I'm going to take some homemade caramelized onion/bacon dip with pitas and rice crackers (gluten free), and some carrot & celery sticks, I think.
So, that's just 3 of the 9 people and the contributions....I cannot imagine what else will be there.
I do know we will eat too much but, hey, isn't that what the day is ALL ABOUT?
(oh, yeah, there will be a football game on TV, won't there.....)
