Preppin for the big game

Many know that I am a tried and true Steelers fan...shout out to all of those who witnessed Super Bowl XL in '06, yikes! However dicey that Super Bowl celebration became, a Davis family tradition was started that year, and this Super Bowl will be no different. That year, '08, and now I plan my Super Bowl menu with Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh themed foods. It was an amazing corn chowder in '06 and Iron City beer...double yikes.

This year we've moved onto Yuengling for the beverage of choice and the menu is more Pittsburgh faves. My appetizers will be perogies-a potato filled dumpling accompanied by always tasty kilbasa. The main attraction is a heart stopper-literally & not at all in tune with all the hard work I've put in recently to shed my fat ass, but I will need to something to soak up all the beer I drink to calm my nerves. I am making Pittsburgh's famous Primanti Brother's sandwiches which have been featured on many travel & food shows. This behemoth starts with thick cut slices of Italian bread piled high with capicola ham, provolone cheese, tomatoes, french fries-that's right fries, and slaw. It'll be large and in charge-hopefully much like the Steeler's D.

Of course the menu would not be complete without a sweet treat, and dessert is sticking with my theme. Pittsburgh's Eat and Park restaurants are known for their happy face cookies so Saturday night Mags and I have a date to whip some up-can not wait to see what kind of jacked up face he creates!

So stay tuned for updates and of course GO Steelers!
