    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. :smiley1::facepalm::cool:

    Saturday my neighbors are doing their annual ~100 person backyard party with tons of food, beverages and live music from a great classic rock cover band. I’ll be making about 10 lbs. of grilled Italian sausage with grilled peppers and onions - always a hit. As for what else is on the menu, who knows? My neighbor converted an outbuilding to a commercial grade kitchen and has an outdoor kitchen with a large grill, a massive flat top, a pizza oven and a two-basket deep fryer, so we could be eating just about anything (and everything). He makes sure all of those pieces of equipment are fully utilized for the party.

    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.

    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. :bungals::smashbengals:

    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. :thumbs up:

    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.

    Just grilling it. My grandmother was the last one in the family to actually make Italian sausage from scratch. It was awesome, but you had to be ok with a LOT of fennel seeds. I never got her recipe.

    Oh yeah, a hundred people show up, but they’re mostly not from the neighborhood. It’s their family, friends, friends of friends, etc. My wife and I have brought some of our friends in the past. My neighbors are great folks. Very welcoming and generous.

    I forgot you like the WNBA better. Maybe you can catch a game with Paige Bueckers she's kind of cute.

    That's freaking terrible thing to say. LoL
    Now if He doesn't make it to Monday, I'm blaming you, and You know how the blame game on this board goes, by next month people will be saying how they knew for a fact, you have been offing other board members, that's the standard, and you can't develop anyone.
