We have some pub cheese left (jalapeño, and horseradish), and the SO bought some crab dip that we’ve only gone through half of. We can snack on those. For a game meal, I think I’ll make chili-cheese dogs. ---

My friend’s wife is from the Seattle area. I believe she got some white salmon and dungeness crabs. I am going to make a bunch of wings tomorrow to take over. ---

I’m making lots of ridiculous bar food. [Korean fried chicken](http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Korean-Fried-Chicken), beef ribs on the smoker, potato skins, buffalo dip, and some kind of salad sitting off to the side. We’ll only have a few people over, but we’ll be picking for a lot of the afternoon. ---

Been waiting for this thread, as I didn’t want to start it. Chex Mix is the main thing I’m doing this year. It’s been too long. I’m also doing chili dogs and/or frito pies, “queso” dip, and a fruit salad/salsa type thing. I may also do buffalo wings, if I go with only frito pies. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Chex Mix is the main thing I’m doing this year. It’s been too long. Capital idea. I make tons of this stuff over the holidays, but never really after December. I’ve been toying with the idea of making a batch or two at a different time of the year. ---

I messed up my prescriptions and have been off my GERD meds for a week and I am dying from heartburn. And I can’t shake it. One of The biggest pig-out days of the year, and I am hoping to find some Saltines in mom’s cupboard and suck on those all day. But I still want to read here about what I’m missing. ---

There are two absolutes, guacamole and queso. Whatever else happens, happens. ---

My friends are making a baked potato bar so that one friend has a Paleo option. Also, “meatballs or chili” (please please please let it be meatballs). I made a dip of two cups mayo, two cups cream cheese, and a dried herb pack. Heart attack in a bowl. And for dessert, I made peanut butter cheesecake with a Nutter Butter/peanut crust and chopped-up Reese’s cups mixed in. ---

We’re having a bunch of Chinese families over that have _gasp_ never watched American football. It’s okay, as my wife watched her first quarter 2 weeks ago when the Seahawks multiple miracle occurred. But I digress. -Slow cooking a boston butt on the Weber -Eldest bambina made drop brown sugar cookies already, and some other cookies tomorrow (she’s on a cookie discovery quest -will grill a mass of chicken wings -Some hotdogs ready for the kids -Making our own hamburgers out of ribeye -fruit -Beer - Alaskan Amber, Halles nut brown ale, Blue Moon and 48 cans of Costco’s finest light beer -Wine - a dozen bottles from either Costco or Trader Joes i’m sure guests will be bring booze and food, so I think we are covered Someone, maybe even me, will actually watch a bit of it. Man, I miss those days of getting up at 6:00am, walking through the snow to the hangout bar, having that first Guinness and breakfast at kickoff in Shanghai, being totally ploughed by noon and game over. Instead I have to suffer though the 12’th man stuff here in Seattle. ---

Not watching the game, but I’m roasting a turkey. I live alone, but I cook one medium bird per year and divide the meat into smaller packages, to freeze and use as desired. I splurged at Thanksgiving and bought a free range organic turkey, to see if it’s better enough to justify the higher price. I’m looking forward to getting some fantastic stock out of the carcass. ---

Nachos and not applesauce cake.
