What's Cookin? 2025 preseason kickoff

OK folks, some form of stiller ball will be back come Saturday. start getting those menu's figured out for the game. this is preseason for those as well. hope we have some new goodies to try. this will be a tough next 3 nights for me. B-Day dinner at Franco's outside of Cannonsburg Thursday night. the bakery is next door after. my bestie and his wife are in town from big D and we are having dinner at his sisters house on Friday night. the game is Saturday night. the heart dr. on Monday morning. probably not going to be thrilled with me.

 

Ugh. Going to neighbors tonight for the Bungles game. He is making a bunch of slider sandwiches. Saturday I am going to be camping.

 

Do 100 people show up?? If so, no way everybody knows everybody or else you live in the tightest neighborhood in America.

 

That game is all I'm hearing about on the golf course. Needless to say the SB champ fans can't wait for tonight. Probably heard "go birds" around town about 100 times this week.

 

sounds good elvis. we did something similar last weekend with a family reunion. was at my cousins, pool, outdoor bar, built in shelter kitchen, grills, smokers and man did they bring the food. about half i didn't even get to try since there was so much. i as well made hot sausage with tomatos and peppers. big hit they ate that chit up quickly. again my heart dr. probably not going to be happy with me.

 

oh and for the game probably i'm going to try a chili dog bake. cut up dogs, homemade beef chili sauce, cheese. i figure you can eat it alone or put it on a bun like a sloppy joe/chili dog. my own evil making.

 

Hearing fly eagles fly or who Dey. Not sure which is worse. Philly is famous for their cheese steaks which are delicious and Cincy which is famous for their chili hot dogs which are garbage to me. Don’t care for either team. Hope eagles win 2-0.

 

Distilled spirits definitely on the menu.

 

Totally disinterested in preseason.

 

To please the Doc, perhaps rack of bone, sauteed hummingbird wings and a wholesome tossed paprika salad would do the trick. Then return to normalcy Monday night with Pizza, wings, fries and suds.

 

When you say "making Italian sausage" do you mean making them from scratch or just grilling them? Either way sounds great to me. Last time I had a sausage making party I had bought sheep casings at the Valley Hungarian Sausage and Meat Company along Pearblossom Highway in the Mojave Desert town of Littlerock. They only sold it in a package of about 1000 linear ft. (or so it seemed). We started at about 8am and had about 6 different recipes (pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, veggie etc) that each group brought to the party. I supplied the casings, grinder and expeller (a converted HD Kitchen Aid mixer). It took all day long and we broke for a grilled sausage lunch and then dinner. It was a lot of work but lots of fun and adult humor for those feeding the mix and the holder and twister of the filled casings. We must have made about 15 dozen sausages which all turned out great.

 

Don’t worry about the heart Dr Monday you probably aren’t going to make it anyway

jk

 

Is Franco’s good

Worth an hour drive
