Winning recipe guide for bowl day bliss
It looks as if Nebraska is going to
another New Year’s Day bowl game,
so you’ll want to have a few (hundred)
friends over to celebrate the victory.
But how do you do it?
Well don’t fret; here’s Antone’s
“Sports Guy” recipe to bowl day bliss.
The first stop on your quest for
bowl day bliss is probably Rent-A
Center, so the serious bowl game
partier can rent three more TVs. I’m
assuming most people already have
one TV to work with. You’re going to
need about four cable-ready sets for the
day, each tuned in to a different chan
nel with a different game on and all
playing at the same time.
Next stop: the grocery store. You ’re
going to need a variety of football
watching snacks. My first suggestion
is some type of nacho dip.
My personal favorite is Velveeta
cheese, Hormel chili WITHOUT
BEANS and salsa all mixed together.
Heat the chili, slicing the cheese into
the chili to melt. Add the salsa after
the cheese is melted. Heat to desired
temperature and serve with chips —
preferably the red and white kind for
Husker spirit.
IMPORTANT: Remember this is a
special occasion. All chips should go
in a bowl, not served right out of the
bag.

Next, you’ll want a variety of veg
etables, also known as a relish tray,
which includes dill and onion dip as
well as some kind of relish and a few
pickles. This is important to add that
third level to the food pyramid.
Now you’ll need to pick up a vari
ety of drinks for your party. Beer is
probably the best for people over 21,
but you also want to add some pop and
other drinks for those pesky minors and
designated drivers (who are also im
portant on game day).
Be creative—try making different
kinds of punch for each team playing.
When that team scores, the people at
the party have to drink a glass of that
team’s punch. You can even try to make
it one of the team’s colors.
For example: You could use
Goldschlager in the Notre Dame
punch. Oh wait — they lost to USC
and won’t make a New Year’s Day
bowl game.
Last, but definitely not least, is an
entree for your guests. The great
standby is ordering a pizza or two. But,
I think a little home cooking would be
a nice game-day touch. Try making a
batch of Sloppy Joes or a big pot of
chili. Such culinary delights will liter
ally warm up the party.
So, you’ve got the TVs, the food
and the drinks. What are you missing,
besides people? Decorations, of course
(dirty underwear on the ceiling fan is
not acceptable party decor).
Bowl game party decor consists of
left-over favors from New Year’s Eve,
a dried-out Christmas tree and one ul
timately important thing: a football.
The football (usually a Nerf, so no
personal possessions break) is abso
lutely necessary for a good bowl-game
party. The ball serves a huge purpose.
It can cause beer to be spilled all over
the carpet, and can be bounced off
people’s heads. It is also a great thing
for throwing at the rented TVs when
your favorite team is scored on.

Spaeth Design creates
some of world's most
extravagant Christmas
NEW YORK (AP)—A family
of mice is trying hard to snooze on
Fifth Avenue. Trouble is, “Jingle
Bells” keeps playing right next to
the dresser drawer where the aggra
vated rodents huddle, inside a win
dow of upscale emporium Lord &
Taylor.
They bang a broomstick on the
drawer’s “ceding,” but to no avail.
That’s because, out on the street,
children are madly pressing buttons
on the plate glass to sound the carol
over and over.
It makes for a merry, interactive
Christmas—and “some of the most
expensive Christmas windows in
the world,” said sculptor John
Carter, whodesigned the store’s six
window display.
Carter works for Spaeth Design
Inc., a giant doll house packed with
imagination, motorized mice and, at
peak season, some 100 inventive
men and women.
From its 27,000-square-foot
workshop on Manhattan’s West
Side, Spaeth Design has created
some of New York City’s most lav
ish department -store windows, as
well as displays for clients ranging
from American Express to the
American Bible Society.
me company was started m
1943 by Walter Spaeth, a high
school dropout who had taken a
course in seasonal store-window
decoration. With the help of his
wife, Dorothy, and their son, David,
the mom-and-pop shop became one
of the world’s top commercial dis
play companies.
In addition to creating annual
holiday displays for Lord & Thylor
and Saks Fifth Avenue, the com
pany has worked on a teddy-bear
museum in Tokyo, a Japanese mall,
singing bears for Las Vegas and
custom props for films, TV com
mercials and trade shows.
