Senior Cook
Is it too early to start planning, lol..
We are having a pretty large party {40 guests plus us}, I have 3 living rooms plus a theater room, we will be playing the game on every TV in the house from the kitchen to the pool house... We do this every year, its the only day I move a TV into my formal parlor which when I built this house I promised myself I wouldn't keep a tv in that room...
Anyway, its a stressful day for me so I like to plan ahead as much as I can...
In past years I made 120 sandwiches {4oz 6" rolls}, this year I am not going to stuff all of them sandwiches, I am going to make 5 lbs of seafood salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad, then I am going to make a nice slicing roast and slice up 5 lbs of roast beef, and 4 turkey breasts... I will crisp up 5-6 lbs of bacon, and cut a ton of lettuce, tomato, etc...
I do not do chicken wings, because I am terrible at it AND they make a mess..
I am going to cook a pair of prime ribs I have them ordered and make a giant pan of mashed potatoes...
I am not going to make a desert, my wife has our guests bringing chips, dips, and deserts, so that will be what ever gets brought.
NOW for the beverages, I picked up a cases of Powers John's Lane {I have a case in the wine cellar too, but should have plenty without touching that} https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/powers-12yo-pot-still-john-lanes-release/ and a I will pull out a case of Jameson black label {I have plenty of that in the cellar}...
My brother is bringing a bunch of beer and we have a 1/4 kegs in the kegerator that I am going to check on over the weekend to see what state they are in and how full, I know a couple are from the summer like sam summer and the other 2 are pumpkin and apple {jacko and johnny}...
So that should be everything for me, I will just be hoping no one breaks anything and everyone has a good time. 2 years ago one of my wife's friends sons poked the enter of one of my $5000 speakers in, that I had to get shipped in from England, that was hard to keep a smile on my face when it was showed to me the next day...
So what are your menu plans?
