Every Sunday night, I partake in a small tradition with a few friends from work. We go over to one friend’s house, and we all talk about and then watch AMC’s hit show, MADMEN together.
We generally will also have either a cocktail or other alcoholic beverage from the show or inspired by the show. This week we had good ol’ Heinekens. Sometimes there is the small delight of food as well. Adam, the host, has a lovely boyfriend/fiancé/wife named Josh. Josh is an amazing cook, and when we are lucky, he puts together a great meal from us. Some of his past delicacies have included nachos and swedish meatballs, which have come to be coined “SwedBalls” by one of the other members, Ludy.
This week, we had an assortment of different treats. I brought “Fat Betty Bugles” (which was actually just a bag of Bugles that I coined Fat Betty Bugles because of one of the characters in the show)
Josh made a Stromboli, Pepperoni Pizza, (which he called pecoroni pizza) and some chicken wings that he grilled up. Some where teriyaki flavored and some italian spiced. 
Now I’ve never had Stromboli before, and for those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s basically some bread stuffed with italian meats like pepperoni and sausage and some italian cheese, in this case provolone. This thing blew my mind! it was so flavorful and delicious with a little bit of spice from the meats, but the cheese was so creamy and tasty it cooled it down just the right amount.
The pizza was amazing too, made on some fresh dough and with some red sauce, cheese and pepperonies. The dough was not too soft and not too crisp. it was an amazing pizza.
The chicken wings were grilled to perfection and the meat was super juicy and tasty, All of Josh’s foods were great hits.
Then came Nick from left field with his surprise dessert. He made Oreo Truffles (which are very similar to a dessert I make called Oreo Balls (I’ll put them up here one day for you all to enjoy!)) His Oreo Truffles were made with Double Stuffed Oreos, Cream Cheese and some Chocolate. They were delicious, creamy, rich and sweet. the perfect way to end off our feast.
By the time MADMEN was about to start… We were totally Stuffed!!! But it was great! And everything was so super delish!
