Guinness ice cream, lined up for Super Bowl dessert.
Recipe from Food and Wine:
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups Guinness (16 ounces)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 15 large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Chocolate-Covered Pretzels, for serving
- In a large saucepan, combine the Guinness with the cream and milk and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Gradually add the hot Guinness cream to the yolks, whisking constantly until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes; do not let it boil. Pour the custard into a medium bowl set in a large bowl filled with ice water. Let stand until the custard is cold, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions (this may have to be done in 2 batches). Pack the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
- Spoon the ice cream into bowls and top with someChocolate-Covered Pretzels. Serve at once.
MAKE AHEAD The ice cream can be frozen for up to 1 week.

On tap for the Super Bowl, in honor of the Steelers, I’m making homemade Primanti-style sandwiches.
These soon-to-be French fries and cole slaw each got a huge assist from our new cuisinart. It’s hard for me to believe I was unaware of the concept of slicing and shredding discs, just a few weeks ago.
Seven hours to Super Bowl party— chili (smoky bacon and turkey) is in the crock pot, but miles to go.
"Pro football is perhaps the last of the great mass entertainments in America, and the Super Bowl has become the embodiment of our nation: big, convivial, gaudy, passionate and, surely, self-important. This is the weekend when Americans hold the fewest weddings and the most parties. And like a lot of quintessential American institutions, the game inspires numerous myths."
