Greetings Cookbook Fans!
I do hope you all enjoy reading these newsletters as much as I enjoy
writing them. And since we are a nation that is constantly on the go
with one major event happening after another, it seems there is always
plenty of material to choose from. One of which is the annual SUPER
BOWL, the ultimate football playoff to celebrate the World Champs.
This coming week millions of fans will root for their respective
teams, the New Orleans Saints or the Indianapolis Colts. Everyone and
everybody will try to capitalize on this event, especially the food
industry. Just look in your community newspaper and you will see,
Super Bowl Appetizers, Super Bowl Snacks, Super Bowl Subs, and Super
Bowl Cakes, just to name a few.
So, what do you think Rosalie Serving Country or Rosalie Serving
Italian cookbooks can come up with for this year's Super Bowl
contribution? Well, after thinking about all the great dishes I could
make, including Baked Lasagna, Farmer's Cabbage, or even Chicken &
Dumplings, I decided I couldn't improve on last year's choice.
With family, friends, and neighbors all gathered around the game,
either before, during or after, I wanted to feature a dish that would
please everyone. A dish that could withstand every offense, stomach
the fumbles, hit the sidelines, catch the flavor, devour the coaches,
lift the spirits and even burn up the Astroturf. Yes, I thought, it
must again be CHILI…SUPER BOWL CHILI!
It has to feature a good grade of beef, chili hot beans, rich tomato
gravy, and loaded with an array of chili flavors all put together to
score a touchdown. My chili recipe will be the star of the evening!
Just picture a huge pot of simmering chili on the stove where guests
can come and fill their bowls with the magic of cure-all jitters.
Topped with a big spoonful of cheddar cheese, sour cream and chopped
green onions, accompanied with Frito Lays for the crunch, they won't
care which teams wins. After two, three or even four bowls, I figure
the smoke alarms will go off and detract even the most die-hard fan,
where everyone will jump for joy and no one will suffer defeat…Yes,
SUPER BOWL CHILI it must be!
So, there you have it folks, forget your troubles for awhile and root
for your team. If you are not a football fan, have fun with your
family anyway and celebrate the one's you love. Remember, I always
say and do believe, "Food is a bridge to relationships." Do something
different, and invite your family, long lost friend, or neglected
neighbor over, and why not have some chili? Look for my recipe, Super
Bowl Chili, also known as Rosalie's Five Star Chili, in my Country
cookbook and join in the "Super Bowl Mania"!
So long, and God Bless!
Rosalie
