Saturday Night Football Prep


Couple things going on before Superbowl Sunday, first up the BBQ sauce for the next batch of BBQ Kielbasa. Secondly a lovely little desert to test out the new deep fryer. Lots of fail from the two of trying to work in the kitchen at once, lots of standing in front of the drawer the other one needed tools from, etc.

I kicked up the BBQ sauce with some Guinness and amber weizen, otherwise the same base recipe of ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Also hit it with a lot more brown sugar to take down some of the vinegar intensity.

As for desert, well, this recipe is from the Food Network football special they had on last weekend. It's Giada De Laurentiis' recipe of Blueberry and Mascarpone Turnovers, to celebrate this dish we bought a little baby deep fryer.

We had a couple things going on with this recipe, we did one batch with puff pastry dough and the other with pie crust. They both have their pluses and minuses, but both turned out well for the most part.

The real tell will be this morning when we serve them for our pre Superbowl brunch.
