Super Bowl!!

I'm trying to find something good from Indiana--I have heard of this "Sugar Cream Pie" so I think I'll make that in honor of the Colts:

Sugar Cream Pie #1
Ingredients

* 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
* 4 tablespoons cornstarch
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 4 tablespoons butter, melted
* 2 1/4 cups half-and-half cream
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Mix cornstarch and sugar. Add 4 tablespoons butter and half and half. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy. Add vanilla.
2. Preheat oven broiler to high.
3. Pour mixture into pie crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put under broiler until butter bubbles--watch it carefully as it doesn't take long. Refrigerate.

Sugar Cream Pie #2

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 cups evaporated milk
* 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
* 1 tablespoon butter, diced
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1. Mix the sugars, flour, and milk. Pour into crust. ( Grandma always mixed the ingredients directly in the unbaked pie crust, but I have better luck mixing it with a mixer and transferring it to the crust. )
2. Dot with butter and sprinkle with nutmeg to look pretty. Bake 300 - 325 degrees F (150 - 165 degrees C) for 1 hour.




In honor of the Saints, I'll have a King Cake, probably.
And lots of beads.

For dinner, I'll have traditional Texas football cuisine: little smokies, sausage balls, meatballs, Wonder bread (which I heard was also from Indiana), fruit and veggie tray, chocolate-almond-cherry drops, football-shaped sugar cookies (or I may even have Louisiana and Indiana shaped cutters...or maybe a horse shoe and a fleur de lis?)
