It’s Super Bowl time

Table Talk

By Arritta Morris Register Columnist

RICHMOND — This is a great time to fix snacks for the crowds that may come over to watch the Super Bowl, especially if you have a wide-screen TV.

My son Mike makes hot wings to die for.

Mikes hot wings

Ingredients

3 lbs of chicken wings

Sauce

3 Tablespoons melted butter

4 teaspoons honey

1 large bottle Texas Pete hot wing sauce

4 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon of gumbo file (spice)

2 pinches of cayenne pepper

1/4 cup beer

Directions

Mix all the sauce ingredients. Marinate wings for one hour in the sauce. Bake at 400 degree in oven for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes of baking, baste and turn wings. Two minutes before being done, turn on broiler to get the golden color. Serve hot wings with the sauce that you have added ranch dressing mixed in.

Football was part of my working career back in the late 1970s and 80s. I fed the EKU football team my first few years out of college. What an experience. It was like having a Greyhound bus come in every day.

One day I was loading a napkin machine and got both my hands stuck in the machine. Keith Bosslie came to my rescue. He pried open the machine in one sweep. That was a time I was grateful for the strength these guys carried around.

Some players even had to rescue me from a plastic pickle bucket. I can’t really explain how I got stuck in one, but at least they were there to get me out.

Dips are a favorite when watching football games. To keep them low fat, mix some of the lite dressings or low fat dressings as the base.

Cheese salsa dip

Ingredients

1 lb Velveeta cheese spread, cubed        

1 (8 oz) jar salsa

1 (10 oz) canned diced tomatoes and diced chilies

2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Microwave cheese and salsa and tomatoes and green chilies for 3 minutes. Mix in cilantro. Serve hot with corn chips.

I thought I would never get accustomed to how much food a college football team could consume. On an average day, we went through 40 to 50 gallons of milk, 30 gallons of juice, 15 large pans of lasagna (when on the menu).

I really did worry about all the calories these fellas consumed. I think they are probably having trouble in the later years after sports to maintain a good, healthy weight.

Speaking of weight, they picked me up one evening and put me on the food conveyor belt so I just remained claim and rode the belt on into the dish room area. You should have seen the look on Rose Jackson’s face when I raised up off the tray. She nearly fainted.

The last recipe I would like to give you is for a veggie pizza. It’s so full of good stuff.

Veggie pizza

Ingredients

2 cans refrigerated crescent dinner roll dough

One 8-oz package of cream cheese, softened

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

1/2 cup low fat salad dressing

chopped red peppers,  cauliflower, radishes, broccoli and green onions and tops

grated carrots, thin sliced purple onion

use all fresh veggies for toppings

Directions

Unroll dough and press against bottom and sides of a  15x10x1-inch pizza pan to form crust. Pinch dough to seal on edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 minutes. Cool.

Beat the cream cheese, salad dressing and seasoning. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with remaining fresh veggies. Cut pizza into serving sizes.

Hope your favorite team wins this year. I watch to see the half-time show. This is my favorite part of the game.

  • My! How things have changed

    I was just thinking the other day about how difficult it is for those of us who are beyond middle age. Things are just not like they were when we were young.
    How many of you have noticed that stairs are getting steeper, groceries are getting heavier and everything is much farther away?

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Peter Perlman — Life lessons from a lawyer’s lawyer

    One of the great moments of my life was sitting next to legendary Louisville attorney Frank Haddad at a luncheon when he learned he had received the first Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer award from the Kentucky Academy of Trial Lawyers.
    As they started his bio, the surprised Frank started crying like a baby. A sudden heart attack took him less than a year later. Winning the Perlman award was the crowning achievement of his career.

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Credit score insanity

    Frequently, people stop me and ask me personal finance questions.
    The most common is how to improve their credit history score.
    If you need to improve your credit score, it means you have lousy credit. Before fixing the score, people need to ask how their credit got so bad to begin with.

  • Paula-Jones-c.jpg Fresh strawberries at the farmer's market

    Hello from Baldwin,
    How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. Well the weather has improved a lot. I have heard the lawn mowers buzzing since the rain stopped for a few of days. Everyone is trying to get their yard mowed and trimmed up before the next rain. Gardeners are out working diligently working the grounds that have finally dried enough to plant things. It has been very difficult on the gardeners with all of the rain to get their gardens planted. Oh, won’t those fresh vegetables taste good.

  • Tim-Jones.jpg Union City Day is this Saturday

    Union City Day is this Saturday. There will be music, food and yard sales including some "Made in Union City" items. I have heard that one of the music sessions will include folks from Union City Baptist Church with ukuleles. For yard sales, you can start setting up at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. It will be a great day to get out and meet your neighbors. Two raffles are underway, one is for a quilt handmade by Mary Sewell. Raffle tickets are available for several prizes including, a 32 inch TV, a Garmin GPS unit and Paula Deen Cookware. See a Ruritan member to purchase tickets.  Drawings will be after 2 p.m. All proceeds from both raffles will go to the floor replacement fund.

  • Katie-Rollins.jpg The sun is going to shine for us

    It's another cloudy Tuesday here in Paint Lick, but folks, the sun is going to shine for us all this week, so we can get into our gardens and plow up our fields and just be happy that maybe the rain will stay away, at least for a little while. We have a wonderful breeze out that will soon dry the ground.

    I thought I would tell you one of my family stories even though it’s not a Newby story. It seems no matter what part of the country you’re from, a country tale sounds the same.
