What are you cooking?

I'll likely do grilled sirloin tips but just for myself. May or may not be BBQ. I don't do 'parties' anymore as I have become pretty much a hermit.

Last time I did a football party thing was several years ago on Thanksgiving. Invited a couple of guys in my apartments that I thought friends over for dinner and football. I did the full thing with turkey and all the sides. After eating bunches they both said they had to leave to watch games with friends. One guy actually knocked on my door later wanting "his share" of the pumpkin pie. Keep in mind that neither supplied or even offered to bring anything. I have not done such a dinner since.

I'm gonna come over and watch the Super Bowl at your house. My wife's son is a Patriots fan and I know he's going to stand directly in front of the TV, 2 feet away from it and talk through the entire game. He totally ruins football for me every time.

Personally I'd tell him to shut up and sit down so others could also enjoy the game. Of course, often, that is easier said than done...

I remember, when I was quite young, my grandma had two of my aunts and an uncle living off of her in her house. The youngest aunt was younger than the others and OK but the two older insisted that it was my grandma's responsibility to cook what they wanted for dinner every day. She would often have to cook different dinners for each. The younger aunt would not have anything to do with this abuse and helped my grandma cook. Keep in mind that the younger aunt, at the time, was around 16 and should have been in the house. The other two were just users and abusers.

Sigh, a lot of my family were not people I'd choose to associate...

I made black bean salad to go with Fritos today. I'm pretty sure it won't last until Sun. No Super Bowl foods planned yet, the freezer is pretty full, so is the pantry. I bought an eggplant yesterday so maybe I'll try out making baba ghanoush. Anyone make it & have tips?

We're having slightly soggy leftover lo mien.
