Super Bowl Snacks
With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching need some advise on what to bring to the party. I'm looking for vegetarian, finger food that is good at room temp and travels easily. And of course is football appropriate. Ideas?

Van Halen Rock Lyrics on Cheese Packaging
That is the best! You've got to love a grocery clerk with a sense of humor.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
....gotten at a farm stand some where in rural New Jersey (yes rural exists in NJ) in August. Bring directly home, put on a large pot of water. Shuck corn. Drop corn into the boiling water, turn off the heat and let the corn sit until tender, just a few minutes. Rub a bit of butter in the corn and a little sprinkle of salt. Perfect in it's simplicity.
Cape May, NJ - revisited
Try the Blue Pig in Congress Hall. The food is good and they have a really cool bar in the hotel as well.
Grocery bagging violations
I've never been to a grocery store that has dedicated baggers. The checker will usually help out but by the time they're done ringing I've usually got everything bagged in my reusable bags. Just bring your bags and do it yourself.

That is a tailgater's dream!
Immersion Blenders--worth it or not?
I have a braun too. I use it all the time. I use my immersion much more frequently than my conventional blender. I do a lot of soups, chilis, sauces. The clean up is so mcuh easier than the conventional.
Copying a good idea - Will be in Philadelphia next week
I get down to Philly about once every 3 months or so. The last stop before heading out of town is always, without fail, brunch at Creperie Beaumonde. I've considered moving just so I could have brunch there every Sunday.
Bunny Marshmallows - Ideas?
not particulary spring or festive, well probably the exact oposite but yummy anyway....toast the bunny marshmallows and then smash them between two chocolate covered grahams.

Van Halen Rock Lyrics on Cheese Packaging
Heh. It's not that hard to do actually. The boys in the Butcher Block had "Stairway to Heaven" scrolling on the scales you see how much the meat weighs on for awhile. Instead of the "Thank you for shopping...blah blah blah."
Van Halen Rock Lyrics on Cheese Packaging
love the sense of humor, hate that a grocer would have the nerve to charge 7.99/lb for assorted cheese ends.
also -- i think hagar-era van halen would have been a better fit for this particular product.
Van Halen Rock Lyrics on Cheese Packaging
hahaha! I go to that grocery store every single day--literally. It's a block down from my work and I spend more time there than in my cubicle. I recognized the packaging and font in the photo before I read the blurb, and I'm not at all surprised that the guys who run that cheese department would have thrown down some Van Halen lyrics.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
I just roasted corn on the cob with the lime/butter trick and thought it was fantastic....mix up butter with lime juice and cilantro, and smear all over the cob. then wrap in foil and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. i also think this would be good with butter/paprika mix. yum!
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
I love it grilled with cheese and a little cayenne pepper and chili powder, but since I rarely grill, I boil it--cob on--and like it with just a sprinkling of garlic salt.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
...it's barely dunked in hot water and then lightly salted.
If I'm looking for something splendiferous, I'll do the Steven Raichlen recipe with the cheese, chili powder and lime.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
Oven-roasted, husks on, then generously apply a compound butter with your fave dried herbs.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
Corn on the cob is best with steamers!(Or should I say Steamahs). Something about the clams brings out even more sweatness in the corn. I serve them with melted butter, a bowl of the pot liquer, and some apple cider vinegar. I think i'll do that this weekend , thanks for the idea.
Corn on the Cob is best when ______
@iz at ryt? yes it iz! Unfortunately, we are late bloomers and have to inquire as to origin and vintage of any corn we find locally. At iz ryt. Late summer for us. :o(
@huneybumper ~ I'm a voracious and out-of-the-closet cob sucker. Waste not, want not, want NOW! ;-D
