4. That sounds good...
what did you get? I usually order General Tso's, chicken with broccoli or garlic chicken when I do the Chinese takeout thing.

12. Sounds like a plan...
I think I'm going over to my uncle's house to watch it. He usually runs a little office pool and I have a decent shot at winning 50 or 60 bucks

28. Probably
I'm sure one of the Mods will get back to you soon enough. As long as it can get announced 24 hours or so before the show, I'm sure it would get enough entries

35. No, German, Norwegian, and Polish
My German and Polish sides would grind it up and stuff it in a sausage casing. My Scandahoovian side would soak it in lye and serve it with mashed potatoes and lefse. :P

30. Elbows and Tomatoes.
It's my mom's specialty. I can nearly say that with a straight face. One LB of dried pasta and one can of stewed whole tomatoes. Cook together in one pot with a can-full of water.

40. My mom used to make that too
and add some HB when she could afford it, but I recognize you are emphasizing the veggie aspect.

48. Usually we cook, but tonight we're having take-out Indian
Lamb vindaloo (my fave), chicken tikka masala, a spinach thing, a lentil thing, and some nan (naan?). Not bad for this part of the world--where it's snowing like a mofo, by the way.
