Any other crazies up doing prep or cooking 4 SB?

Fornia

I crack myself up every time at this point. I really hope I'm the only person on this forum with this 'issue'. :woohoo:

When my wife and I are throwing any kind of party, or casual cookout with friends and family....I always seem to be up preping food late.

We're not really even having an official SB Party, but since 7pm I've already...

-Made 5 batches of Pizza dough (some to freeze)
-Made Sauce and cut some toppings for the pizzas
-Deviled Eggs (last minute thought 2nite at 10:30)
-Put wings in brine for overnight soak
-Cored Jalapenos and mixed cheese for ABTs (gonna go wrap them right now)
-Peeled and cut carrots and celery for wings
-Cut veggies for dippin'
-Made 2 sour cream based dips (easy and uncreative, I know)

In addition to a bunch of other little stuff, AND....

Still managed to find room for a few Capt. and Diets!

All joking aside, I get stressed out when I do stuff on 'day of', and have found that being a nite owl is my best way to go. I like to concentrate on cooking on the day of....and taking a nap as well after nights like these.

Looking forward to the big game! Good luck to Steelers/Packers fans!

I LIKE the way you ROLL!

Thanks Hoss!

The only bad part is...

When my wife realizes how much food we've got, she'll be pissed we didn't invite friends. I have a reputation around here to 'over do it' on occasion when it comes to cooking. Ie. I cant make a soup without making enough for the neighborhood.

I always figure the leftovers make great lunches at work.

I've got 2 pork butts on the BGE for dinner tomorrow and freezing for later use. Planning to do some ABTs as well, though I won't start prep on those until tomorrow afternoon. Just waiting to verify that my temp is stabilized and then I'm calling it a night... at least for a little while.

We are all either crazy or good hosts. Yup I am one of them. Up prepping Baby Backs, a couple butts and some ABT's. Actually carrying a BGE over to the in-laws and the Weber Smokey Mountain 22". Getting all the rubs, racks, etc. ready for a good time of a GREAT game and
Grillin & Chillin!

You people are nuts. I am going to a party and havent even started food prep yet. I got up to take some tylenol and look on here and now I feel like a slacker cause I am not stressing about the food. !!!!!

Nope. I'm going simple and small this year - just burgers and brats for a few friends. Wanted a huge party, but too much going on for that this year.
