What you cookin for superbowl??
 

I am fixing spinach, artichoke crab dip with bread, fixed with olive oil and garlic salt. We are having potato skins, veggie tray with dip and chicken wing or strips. We haven't decided on the wings or strips yet, but it will be either one. The guys will watch the game and I will watch the commercials.

Sorry Topicop :police:, This is important!! Mik, you survived the ice storms? Any word about 16?

Topicop is frowning.
:police:

Sounds yummy.

Mik, I don't care how much ice you have in Ark; I'm showing up for Super Bowl.

Macho Nacho Dip

16 oz. can of refried beans
1 pkg. taco seasoning
6 oz. avocado dip (can leave out if you want to)
16 oz. sour cream
4 and 1/2 oz. can chopped olives
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 cup shredded Jack cheese

Mix it all up and bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes and serve with nacho chips

You think it looks like you have made a lot until men start eating it and then it is all gone really fast.

Boomer

Kathie,

I don't think you can mess it up. Actually, I am a hot food wimp, also, but this is not too hot for me. btw, it looks disgusting, but I'm tellin' you, men love it.

Boomer

I am just going to heat up left overs...from your gathering Kath!!


However that Macho Nacho looks FAB! Boomer how many is it suppose to feed...not counting if they are hungry, macho men!!

I never know the answer to that one, Cassie. I am one of those people who fears I will run out of food for my guests so I always have too much. But this one is never left over. I don't know what it is about it. I once saw two or three guys just stand by the buffet table and eat it, right there, until it was gone. (Can you see women doing that? -- Welllll... not when anybody is looking anyway.)

If you look at the amounts of things in the recipe, it might give you a rough idea. 16 oz. here, a cup there, it makes a lot.

After this pitch I am giving all of you, I sure hope everybody likes it.

Boomer

Thanks Boomer....will make it for a party next week. There will be about 10 people...men and women. I am going to be watching the activity...knowing the guys that are coming....I may think of making double! LOL


Thanks so much!!

I hope it is a big hit. Have fun!

Boomer

Actually Kathie, I have a little cupid work on my resume. You just never know. (And they have 6 kids now!!! I'm good!)

But there is something you need to understand here. If that happens, if my Macho Nacho recipe gets you the man of your dreams, I expect to be the matron of honor. You would not make me wear a hideous, frilly dress with a big bow on my behind, would you? (I sure hope Tony is sound asleep. I think I am helping you hijack.)

I had better say goodnight. I try to never type after midnight. I can get into trouble when I do that.

Boomer

Ohhhhhhh, I get it. It's like one of my favorite country songs from a few years ago..........

"Live Close By, Visit Often"

OK. I got it.

(Why am I still up???? I told you I get into trouble when I stay up too late.)

Boomer

Oh my. The refried beans. And all those men. Oh, Boomer, what are you creating?

And, upon reflection, perhaps this stuff she makes is responsible for her expertise upon certain subjects.

Oh Boomer.

Your treatise on flatulance has come back to haunt you!

Tony. YOU are slightly north of the Steelers. We know who you will be rooting for. WHAT are you doing up there in this kind of weather?

Trying to see over the top of the snow.
:cus:

Thought the same thing too.
Is there a pouff smiley?:laugh:

Back on topic, Buffalo Wings.
( SHHH...Take out from the local Pub, don't ask, don't tell)
;):evil6:

Dear Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir:

My dissertation on the subject that returns here to haunt me from post past is quite scholarly, I do think. I was simply trying to see if there might be interest in pursuing government funding for a study of the obviously y-chromosome related predisposition to the fascination with the subject of my treatise. It was all in the name of science, Mr. Tony, you who claim to be so scientific, always besmirching English majors.

But now that you call attention to those refried beans in my recipe for Macho Nacho Dip, I see the reason for those men gathering at that buffet table, trying to wolf it all down as fast as they could, trying to get more of it than the next guy. AHA! They were preparing for some primitive competition in addition to the Super Bowl I bet.

And, GG, you will never guess where I got that recipe. I brought it home many years ago from a party in your neck of the Cincinnati woods. That's right, GG, that recipe came from West Chester. And to think I originally thought that you had fled Cincinnati to get away from this awful weather. But it looks like you might have also known that there would be a cloud over West Chester on Super Bowl Sunday. You are double smart, GG, double smart to have fled for The Villages........unless my Macho Nacho Dip catches on there.

uh oh, I am writing on that topic again. I am going to have to go get Mr. Boomer and have him get me out of this house where I have been snowed and iced in for far too long.

Boomer

Well, this is just great. I left my house for the first time since last Sunday. We hitched up the dog sled team and away we went, out into the world to inject the economy. We went to Best Buy and bought a Slingbox. (I am not sure what that is, but I read about it here on TOTV, and so I needed one. I still don't know what it is though.) And then we went out to dinner, a fortifying dinner of high carbs. The place was packed, lots of people injecting the economy along with injecting those high carbs. (note to self -- take a look at Darden stock.)

And then, and then, and then, on the way home, you will not believe what happened. I flipped on the radio in the dog sled. It was time for Garrison Keillor's show, Prairie Home Companion. GK is one of those men I shamelessly love from afar.

Anyway, I tuned in GK, just in time for the Guy Noir skit that GK does every week. And you will never guess what the topic of the Guy Noir script was tonight. Yeah, you guessed it. The same thing as my dissertation topic here. The very same thing. A woman who came to see Guy Noir was complaining about men finding such humor and joy in farts.

The script even had jokes about those things in it. And so help me....I laughed. Yes, I laughed. I laughed out loud. I nearly collapsed and fell off the dog sled from laughing at those stupid, stupid fart jokes. Have I been snowed in for that long? Have I regressed that far? What in the world is the matter with me?

I must have been laughing at the irony. Yes, yes, that was it. It was the irony of such a topic being on the radio, on NPR of all things, on the same day as I had been writing about it.

So what am I? Am I destined to always be 6 degrees of separation from that topic. Not even 6 degrees even. Kathie starts a nice little thread. I contribute a nice little recipe for Macho Nacho Dip. And then Tony gets in it. And then Garrison Keillor gets in it. All within a few hours. Degrees of separation I guess. Weird. (I would try to stream the Guy Noir skit from Prairie Home Companion here for you, but the jokes were quite unseemly you know.)

And, btw, we are invited to a Super Bowl party. I am taking chocolate chip cookies.

Boomer

:1rotfl:
Boomer,
I'm sure someone else will make the Bean Dip!:eek:PU

Ohhhhh, Kathie, Kathie, Kathie, poor naive Kathie,

There is no such thing.

Finding such a man would be like finding a unicorn. No chance.
