San Fransisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.
Naturally I'm a 49ers fan. But to be honest, I don't care that much because I'm not a hardcore sports fan, although I do have money on the 49ers in 3 different pools. But I'm a party fan and super bowl is a great excuse to eat lots of fried finger foods and drink mass quantities of your favorite alcoholic beverages. Woot!
QotD: The 49ers OR the Ravens?
QotD 2: What's your favorite finger food(s)? Wings, deep fried macaroni and cheese balls, cheesy dips?
My menu for today:
Hot wings. But I don't sauce them. I make killer sauces that people can add if they want or as little as they want. I make mine like normal, salt water pre-soaked, seasoned, dredged in flour 2 hours a head of time, BUT I toss them in panko crumbs right before I fry them. SO crunchy!
Parmesan Artichoke dip. I do it in a round Hawaiian bread loaf for cool points and the best part is eating the bowl when the dip is gone.
Beer brats that I pre simmer in dark beer before they go on the grill for a final smoking and grill. Also on the grill I do bell peppers and onions to go on the brats. I always get a big hearty hot dog type bun, not those cheap little ones for normal hot dogs, and not a french roll type bun either. I like them soft but big. ....I'm referring to brat buns, CR. .........and I'm referring to bratwurst.....and bread buns. Hopefully that just took away all of your amo.
Pork sliders. I'm slow cooking a pork shoulder I'll pull later and put it on my grill grate for a final smoking and with my spicy marinade drizzle. I don't like to sauce my pulled pork and let people add as little or a lot if they like. I personally like my pulled pork sammich just smoked and I add a scoop of coleslaw. The marinade I add when I smoke it keeps it very moist and juicy already. So a little honey mustard and a scoop of coleslaw is all I need. So good!
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts. They get bbq sauced at the end.
Bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp. They get a teriaki bbq sauce at the end.
Umm, I think that's it. Seems like I'm forgetting something.
edit: OH yeah, I made a peach cheese cake!
