Tomorrow the Chicago Bears play the Green Bay Packers to decide who'll be going to the Super Bowl. And yes, the Chicago and Wisconsin EAB representatives are watchin' the game starting tomorrow evening LIVE at 5:30 p.m. at Kathy's apartment. The IL reps outnumber the WI supporters but I have a feeling the Pack fans that will be in attendance are pretty hardcore.
Kathy's got a Slingbox which allows her to be able to watch t.v. using her sister's cable box in New York. The Slingbox redirects the t.v. signal anywhere. It also means that if somebody's watching t.v. in New York that Kathy would have to watch what they're watching but don't worry, we've got it reserved. Pretty cool.
But here's my problem. I've been trying to work on a recipe to bring to the game tomorrow. Our hosts, Andrea and Kathy are supplying us with pulled pork sandwiches and dessert. I've been trying to come up with a side. First I tried to be really creative and work on some Chicago inspired item. Well, the problem is, every single recipe I find, I can't do here. We don't have: dill, any type of pre-made roll, sauces and mixes, particular veggies and breads, etc. Even the non-Chicago inspirations are hard. It's just a pain and probably doesn't help because I'm pretty basic when it comes to cooking. So, if anybody has a suggestion, please pass it my way.
And of course, GO BEARS!
check out my blog for cooking... I just made an awesome mac and cheese and you could substitute the dill for something else, or just skip it all together!

Hey Angela,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion. Your mac and cheese sounds delic! Cheese here definitely isn't like other countries. We don't have a lot of variety but I bet if I was creative I would be able to try out your recipe. Thanks for the tip!
