(The Buckeye Blog welcomes Sat. morning pundit and purveyor of a good hangover, Craig “Mac” T.)
For those of you tuning up for the big Buckeyes versus Youngstown State game, the recommended breakfast is the “Youz Guys.”
Qualifications: you must be signed up for 2 year-long football pools, tailgate at ½ the home games, watch all games, and read every daily sports article in the Columbus Distort. Regardless of ethnicity, you have to realize that the “Mill Hunkies” from Northeast Ohio know how to eat, can’t play piano or violin, have square heads, and kick butt in the trenches – unless you’re from Division Two YSU. Buh-bye… Chirp… Sqwack… Whatever….
Ingredients:
½ Dozen Beaten Eggs
1 Whole Polish Kelbasa cut ¼”
¾ lb. Macaroni and Cheese (Big Noodles) – Or ¾ Pound Halved Potato Pirogue
½ Diced Onion
1 Garlic Clove
¼ Cup Whipped Cream
2 Dashes of Salt and Pepper
Technique (Big French Word for Cooking Directions):
Sautee Kielbasa with Onion, Chopped Garlic, lightly salt and pepper until heavily browned in a frying pan while the separate, second pan is warmed at medium heat. Spread Sautee evenly in second pan when complete. Salt and Pepper ingredient again. Add Mac and Cheese between Kielbasa, then pour in beaten eggs. Reduce to low heat and cover for 20 minutes and you’re ready. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Makes a great leftover, like the Mac used in this casserole. Suckers! Smother with Sharp Cheddar Cheese if you want to conceal this death wish for your guests. Watch their faces when they eat to see if they’re sissies – and never invite them over again. Period.
Beverage Recommendation: Iron City Beer if you still have a hangover or never went to bed — or, Black Coffee. Reminds me of a joke, “You know how I like my coffee they way I like my women?” Punch line – bitter…
Complimentary Dessert: Angioplasty and/or Glyceride Pills.
Healthy Version: Low Fat Everything, no Butter, and Turkey Kelbasa (an abomination to the Buckeye Nation). Do not ask for Penguin Meat at Whole Foods. Although they make great pets – they are endangered and don’t weather well in the hot tub.
Presentation: slide casserole into your grandmother’s Busha (silk Gypsy scarf) onto serving platter, folded to cover ingredients, knot-tied on both ends. It’ll bring tears to your guests’ eyes – like the Christmas Hallmark Card you had nothing to compose and merely signed, “Love, Your Nephew.” Makes it tough on them too because the have about 30 nephews…
Year-Round Fare:
This can be served at any Eastern European funeral reception for it’s probably why they’ve died at 55.
