| Food for thought: Fans' Super Bowl party recipes
Embrace your inner lineman. The best Super Bowl parties feature crowded couches, full coolers, jerseys untucked because they won't fit any other way and plates piled high with food. We asked fans who post on ESPN.com to share of their party playbook. Their consensus: The main ingredients are football, friends and food, especially dishes made with cream cheese. From their submissions, we picked a starting lineup of recipes (click on linked names to see full recipes). Send us a note if you see something that shouldn't be left out of the Super Bowl XLII gameplan. .
December 2007
Many of those in attendance had previously written him off because his campaign seemed out-of-steam, or because he was too "soft" on immigration. But last week's assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan has given voters in the state a reason to reconsider McCain. In his speeches in the Granite State, McCain lists off the world leaders that he's already met and why he is the right man for the job, particularly against "radical Islamic jihadism." He's quick to point out the lack of experience his main competitor, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, has in this area. An American Research Group poll from Dec. 30 shows Romney and McCain tied at 30 percent each in New Hampshire. (A month ago the same poll shows McCain at 11 percent.) Perhaps sensing that he's not going to win Iowa (most polls show him in third or fourth place), McCain is spending almost the entire week in New Hampshire in search of the upset that looks increasingly in his grasp.

Shape up or leave. The same woman lamented that people also won't stop jabbering on her hikes. Name it a "silent hike of appreciation," he says — that'll weed out the blabbermouths. Firinn suggests they create a guide on how to be a good guest. "This will trigger some discussion ..." "And the accusations of paternalism," one man interjects. "Again." "Oh, I know!" Firinn says. "And the same age-old accusations of paternalism. Yawn, yawn, yawn. Boy, that stuff rolls off my back now." Firinn has gotten used to the criticism because it turns out that labeling people's behavior unacceptable in the Wild West of Web-initiated socializing makes you a lot of enemies. Call him "paternalistic," call him Firinn der Führer — one of the more inventive titles those he's deemed unworthy have come up with — but the accusations certainly aren't going to halt his social experiment.
Albany native Kathryn Pierce-McAllister writes a cookbook in ...
CLIO, Mich. When Albany native Kathryn Pierce-McAllister was lured from her hometown to Michigan by her Yankee husband, Lee, eight years ago, she figured shed adjust. Shed adjust to the snowy winters, life in a new city and to people asking her where shes from every time she talks (hiding her strong Southern drawl is about as possible as hiding her red hair). But she would absolutely not go without the Southern lifestyle that she grew up with taking pride in. Its part of my life. You dont just stop cold turkey just because you move to a new territory, she said in a phone interview from Michigan. The South will always be my roots. Its a little crisp up here, but when I go home I can feel that warmth, she added. Pierce-McAllister said she is big on family tradition and even bigger on keeping her word.
AC360°: Flirting with disaster
The sessions just before and after the war started, touched off the greatest anger toward the United States that anyone can remember at Davos. It got pretty ugly in some sessions. But the Europeans and others thought there must be a saving grace. Surely, they thought, the president is acting without much public support at home.How wrong they were.When Bush swept to a resounding re-election in 2004, the Davos of January, 2005 was one of pretty sullen resignation by delegates from other countries.By 2006, the mood changed again: ok, if you are not going to lead well in America, we will have to start moving ahead without you. By 2007, China and India suddenly became the center of attention as people spoke in awe of their growth and crowded into sessions on "Whither Asia?"Now this year, my observation is that people are following the election campaign closely but they are not at all optimistic that the U.S.
