"SuperBowlXlii" news and stories

By the time you read this post today, I'll be on a train bound for New York City. While this is not strictly an eating trip (although I am looking forward to getting some New York pizza) while I'm in New York (during a break from this conference), there's one stop I have to make. I have to go to the William Greenberg, Jr. Desserts. You see, they make some of the world's best Black and White Cookies. I happen to have a boyfriend who went to high school in Manhattan and craves, lusts, longs for these cookies.

There's no bakery in the New England area that engenders such raw food emotions as these cookies stir up in Scott. My dad lived in Boston while he was going to high school, and while he remembers some good eating, there's nothing that generates such passion. This is why New York food so obviously trumps that stuff available in New England!

Okay, so you're hosting a super bowl party. The game doesn't start until late afternoon or evening (depending on what part of the country you live in), but all the pre-game stuff starts hours beforehand. You want to be part of that, not be in the kitchen all day. One easy solution is fajitas. They're easy, quick and you can lay out a spread of toppings for the guest to make his/her own.

Most of the ingredients for fajitas can be prepared early. You can choose whatever toppings you want. The possibilities are extensive: tomatoes, salsa, avocados/guacamole, sour cream, some kind of bean, onions, cheese, jalapeños, etc. You can chop up toppings that need it, open any containers that need to be opened, and put them all into their serving containers and stored for the next day.

While the main protein should be cooked as close to serving time as possible, you can chop everything up and marinate it overnight. I found a great marinade recipe over at Allrecipes.com. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice, and it turned out great. I also recommend warming the tortillas close to when you'll need them.

Fajitas are great for a super bowl get together. You can do most of the work ahead of time, which frees you up to join in the fun. Go on, have a great time with fajitas for a feast!
