| Score big with the ultimate Super Bowl party
Easy steps such as marinating meat the night before, preparing a checklist of necessary items to avoid last-minute trips to the market, and choosing simple recipes make all the difference when you are trying to catch the first quarter." World champion quarterback and restaurateur Theismann says he has spent some of his favorite game days in his own backyard. "Tailgating at home gives you the ultimate home field advantage," said Theismann. "The grill is always going, the glasses are always topped off, and there is always room for a quick game of pickup football between family and friends." As the players take the field this game day, arm yourself with a .
Barada: Some fans are never satisfied
Purdue has been to the Rose Bowl a time or two, but that's it! Michigan and Ohio State go all the time and that's what the IU and Purdue fanatics want. Well, unless history does an about-face, that's probably not going to happen in the foreseeable future. What's so amazing, though, is that with the lackluster records of both schools in post-season bowl selections, one would think going to any bowl would be better than not going at all. If it's the Insight Bowl or the Motor City Bowl, being asked to participate in any bowl game at all is more than people in either school's fan base really have a right to expect. Look at the schools around both IU and Purdue that are also competing for blue-chip high school players: Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, Notre Dame, and Kentucky. None of those schools is more than a 3-hour drive from Indianapolis.

Put on your aprons, and pull out your best chili recipe. Its time once again for Jackson Countys annual Chili Challenge.
This years challenge will be hosted for the second year in a row by Habitat for Humanity of Jackson County.

The fund-raiser is set for Saturday, Feb. 23, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Goose Pond Civic Center in Scottsboro.
In addition to the chili competition, Habitat for Humanity will raffle a total of $400 in prizes of $250, $100 and $50. Winners do not have to be present.

Chicken, black beans combine in game-time chili casserole
Chili is traditional game-time food, as well as a wintertime favorite. While beef is the most commonly used meat for chili our area, chicken and turkey make flavorful choices for chili made with white or black beans. For a heartier dish — and one that is less likely to drip onto the couch if a fan gets excited by a play — consider a twist on chili from Diane Phillips' new cookbook, “You've Got it Made." The Associated Press provides the recipe and suggests that it can be made as much as a month before serving if kept frozen. Be sure to remove the uncooked dish the day before the game and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. The casserole is baked just before serving. With Super Bowl time fast approaching, there's still time to make a batch several days ahead of time so that you have fewer things to take up your time on game day.

Special spuds: Whole latke love
She'd been raised in the Bronx, N.Y., where the greeting could be taken as a welcome or as an accusation. "There are cold cuts in the fridge," she'd say, regardless of your answer. "Or you could make yourself some lox and a bagel." Besides those options, you could always choose a fresh fruit salad with seasonal berries or the Jewish soul-food staples she and my dad relished: kosher dills, chopped liver, pickled herring, gefilte fish or--forever her fallback--frozen potato pancakes (aka latkes). In some parts of the country corn may be king, but in my parents' household the potato reigned supreme. As kids we enjoyed potato chips, potato sticks, potato puffs (Tater Tots), potatoes au gratin, scalloped potatoes and crinkle-cut french-fried potatoes, not to mention the mashed potatoes that came with Swanson TV-dinners.
Cheap, Plastic and Proud of It
