Super Bowl of Chilli


It is that time of year again. Though not a fan of the foot ball or the game, I must confess I have a guilty pleasure of seeking out super bowl parties every year. Either I host one - with a cornicopia of differing super bowl foods or a sniff one out.

This year I am making a Super bowl of Chilli, no-knead bread, Zingy tea, brownies, and a jello mold lobster! (releasing the lobster from the mold ws the hardest part, I put the mold in a bath of hot water and all the sudden the jello started melting. As a result the lobster is leaner than he might otherwise be.)

No need to knead-- ameoba of flour yeasties and water


Finally, after three months of Bitman's NYTIMES article on no-knead bread and millions of postings in the blogosphere recounting tricks variations and pure enthusiasm for the no-knead phenomenom I have finally gotten my hands sticky and attemped the at home artisnal bread.

My test audience will be all those coming over for the super bowl party I am throwing.
