New Stupor Bowl recipes coming in!!!

Leo and I talked about the “Superbowl Sundae”………

Superbowl Sundae
——–  ————  ——————————–
1/2        gallon  chocolate ice cream — softened
16            ounces  chocolate syrup
1                jar  maraschino cherries
1         tablespoon  frosting
7             ounces  whipped cream, pressurized

Soften chocolate ice cream so that it can be removed whole from the carton.
Put into center of serving platter.

Shape ice cream into football.  Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

Make stitching of the football on the top of ice cream.  You can also write
the team names on the sides.

Decorate with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and cherries.

Serve immediately.

But here’s an even more amazing football shaped crowd pleaser!

Now come on, just use your imagination.  You weave the bacon mat, smash down the sausage, sprinkle with crunch cooked bacon, then roll it up.   All you need to do is modify your rolling technique so that the loaf more resembles a football.  Fire up the ‘Q and smoke that baby til you can’t stand it any more.  Stuporbowl snack heaven!!!!

Those BBQ addicts are GENIUSES!

WE DARE NOT SPEAK IT’S NAME!!!!  But we can snack about it.  Here are some ideas for your S*****BOWL party.

Now, for Arizona Cardinal fans, here’s an awesome treat to bring to your football gathering.

Griddlecakes, flapjacks, pancakes….whatever you want to call ‘em, everybody loves a good stack!  Here are a couple of good sites for the pancake-o-philes among us:

WELOVEPANCAKES.com

Marjan’s Pancake Blog

Cook’s Online collection of International Pancake Recipes

And of course IHOP, which actually inspired this episode with their Pancake Stimulus promotion.  Don’t forget ***FREE*** pancakes at IHOP on January 24th, from 7 – 10am!!!!

As usual, Leo and I got a little sidetracked, and went from pancakes to a somewhat in depth discussion about Nancy Green, the original Aunt Jemima.  Someday I will have to do a MUNCHCAST about classic advertising icons.  Click here for more info on this one.

Dill pickles, sweet pickles, bread and butter….no matter your favorite, we all love pickles.  They’ve been one of humanity’s favorite condiments for eons.  According to the experts, Peter Piper has been picklin’ pecks of pickled peppers for over 4000 years!

But that’s not to say there haven’t been pickle innovations over the years.  Thanks to all my twitter pals who tipped me to everything from Golden Pickle Juice (a sports drink made from *real* pickle juice), to Koolicles (pickles soaked in concentrated kool aid til they’re fuchia), to the legendary deep fried dills.

YUMMMMY!!!!! You can also try fryin’ up some bread & butter pickle chips!  Delicious dipped in ranch dressing.

Okay…I’ll say it…I have been a very bad poster.  Sorry!  The holidays completely hi-jacked my life.  So here are a bunch of links for the birthdays of junkfood fans in your life or, what the hell, save it for next year!

One of life’s greatest challenges is loading a fork full of the exact right amount of pasta without those golden strands slipping away.  Like you, I’ve often thought “Jeez, they can put a man on the moon, but fer cryin’ out loud, please someone make a utensil that makes spaghetti eating easier!!!!”  Well, our prayers have been answered, my friends, the new pasta fork is here!  And available in several lovely color combinations!

Finally!  Spaghetti twirling perfection at your fingertips!  And if your loved one isn’t a spaghetti fan, you can always gift the latest on cutlery technological evolution, the KNORK.

Really, it’s been decades since the Colonel introduced us to the

SPORK.
