What is on everyone’s menu for OSU.....
- Thread starter Nittany_9
- Start date
Not sure/. I usually don’t have a drink until at least 5 pm. May need to start at 5 am Saturday!
My birthday is on Saturday so I’ve made some dinner reservations at one of my favorite places to celebrate our win. If we lose, I’ll still have a great meal. I’ll order a St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Magellan Gin, and Lemon juice cocktail to start things off. It’s their signature martini. Escargots à la Bourguignonne for my appetizer and probably the roast quail with lemon followed by a grilled pound cake ice cream sandwich for desert.

Hopefully most of us will be eating crow
I’m an optimist so I’ll be baking several crows that hopefully will be delivered to BTN and ESPN talking heads.
Stuffed cabbage.
Halupki.
Will be watching at Champs downtown and then heading to the hockey game that night.
Yep. That's what my family calls it but most of the time no one else knows what I'm talking about so I defer to the generic term.
Well, if MaconNitt commits to it, light snacks at our house during game then a trip to Here & Now Brewery in Honesdale, Pa. to either drown our sorrows or celebrate with some duck fat fries, Buff-a-Que wings and killer gourmet pizza.

My mom's family is a bunch of western PA Polaks & Polkas and my wife's family is a bunch of Hazelton area Polaks & Polkas. So in my house, they are halupki.
Oh, wow! Yer killin' me. Hunky hand grenades. One of my favorites. Make some mashed potatoes and pour the tomato sauce over top. I also like to make hand grenade sammiches. Slice the stuffed cabbage into 3 or 4 pieces and put it on a nice soft roll such as from Stagno's. When I visit my dad in PGH next time, we'll have to make stuffed cabbage.Stuffed cabbage.
My heritage is Carpatho-Rusyn and we also call them halupki. My wife and I make them about twice a year. I occasionally order them at a restaurant but they're no where near as good as homemade.
I've eaten them all my life and never once tried them on a sandwich. I don't recall any family member eating them that way either, but it sounds great, so I will try that this weekend. Thanks for the idea.
Cool. My great grandfather was Rusyn. He didn't speak hardly any English so we thought he was saying Russian. Then we found out we were related to Andy Warhol (actually Warhola. My great grandfather was Andy's mom's first cousin, Julia Zavacky.). So we found out that family was from Mikova Slovakia. That's how we put two and two together and realized we were part Rusyn and not Russian.
Well, according to family lore, my paternal great-grandmother (aka Bubba), ate stuffed cabbage on a roll. My dad also likes to eat them on a roll. I almost forgot, for added flavor, spread a little butter on the underside of the roll top. Stoopid good stuff!! Enjoy a couple for me this weekend.

Neat to have Andy in your family tree. Andy was, of course, a Byzantine Catholic, as is my father's entire family (my mom's family was Orthodox). It appears Andy was devoted to his faith and I have always admired and respected his work.

Halupki is the ethnic term, stuffed cabbage is what they are called if you need to use a recipe book, otherwise they are referred to as PIGS IN THE BLANKET or simply PIGS.
It is neat. Unfortunately, he was gone before we found out. My brother bought the Andy Warhol Diaries (published after his death) and noticed a picture of his mom and the name Zavacky stood out (my great grandfather's last name). My mom's sister was into the genealogy thing and did the rest of the legwork connecting the dots. I did get to meet some Warholas at a family reunion then. That was cool, but it was rather awkward for me. My parents moved us out of Yinzerville when I was 8 so I didn't really know anyone there other than my first cousins and aunts and uncles.
My family is all Roman Catholic. I remember when I was young, going to a church in Lyndora (part of Butler) with my grandma. I'm pretty sure the priest said the mass in polish. It wasn't english, and given the area demographics, I can't imagine it would have been Latin. And for years my mom got a catholic newspaper (more like a newsletter in newspaper format) in the mail that was written in polish.
I recall a Polish newspaper called "Zgoda". Very cool story on the Warhola's.
My wife and I continue to follow the Byzantine Catholic traditions, especially at Christmas (Holy Supper) and Easter. Masses (Liturgies) are said in English and in Old Slavonic. Sadly, attendance at our church, like most, is declining, but it's an even bigger burden for Byzantine Catholics as our parishes were never that large to begin with. Growing up, as an altar boy, I recall 3 full Sunday liturgies totaling, perhaps, 700-800 people. Today we have a Saturday and Sunday liturgy and the combined total usually runs in the 120-150 range. Most of those who remain are my age or older. Their children, and grandchildren, have moved out to the suburbs and now attend mostly Latin Rite churches. It's a shame because the Byzantine Rite is very rich in tradition and most who attend a liturgy are overwhelmed by it's beauty. It would be a shame to see it fade away.
My wife has the recipe in her head. She learned it from my mom. If I remember to do it, I will ask her to put it in writing this weekend when we are making the Halupki and will post it here.
Thie thread is pure BWI McAndrew Board classic.
Starts out asking what we're eating/drinking during Saturday's game ... Stuffed Cabbage photo .... Halupki .... Andy Warhol .... Byzantine Rite Liturgies .
THANK YOU, BWI.

Stuffed pork loin on the grill. Here's an easy recipe to follow, only I don't fuss with it as much as he does once it's on the grill. I grill with natural gas, BTW. Much easier to control the heat than when using wood...
Well, Fair if this were to happen there is always this option:
No disrespect, it is sad to see traditions die. Just lightening the mood.

No disrespect taken. In fact, I think we need more laughter in our places of worship, regardless of denomination. There is a time for solemnity, obviously, but I think Christ himself would approve a bit more light hearted approach to daily living.
Yeah, that's why I don't get some of the runaway political correctness mentality these days. We as a country are losing our sense of humor.
