About 'texas holdem poker game online'|Where Can I Play Live Poker
So you and the guys (and/or gals) are getting together for a little Texas Holdem or Seven Card Stud. This isn't the online version you play in your pajamas, potato chip fragments wafting gently over your keyboard. You've got real, live people coming into your real-life home, with expectations of at least the minimal comfort of a folding chair at a folding table, and they expect at least a hearty nosh. You can't just limp in with a bag of cheese twists, and soup isn't practical. But you've got a spread limit here: you can't serve anything that needs two hands to hold, nor even anything that will stick your friends with foul hands, or they'll be out the back door in no time. On the other hand, you can't serve bellybusters or they'll be running for the family pot, crying "Must move!" You don't want to muck it up. You need some poker party food ideas, and fast! If it's a poker-dinner party, you want to have the dinner before the game, and needn't worry about drip or stick. You can even serve food that requires two hands! Here are some quick entrées, before we ante up: Kitchen Sink Spaghetti Enough dry spaghetti noodles to feed your friends Enough water to boil the noodles 1 large onion, peeled 1 large clove of garlic, peeled 1-2 large handsful of shredded cheese, any variety 1/2 -1 can chick peas/garbanzo beans 1/2-1 can pitted black olives 1-2 fresh zucchinis any amount of other veggies you like, cut into bite-sized bits 1.2-1 tspo oregano (chopped leaves or powder) pinch salt small quantity of canola oil Boil the water with a drop of canola oil and the pinch of salt. When boiling, add the noodles, stir them immediately and let them boil on medium for six minutes. Drain immediately and do not rinse! While boiling the noodles, slice the onion into thin rings, chop the garlic and sautée them together in a little oil, in a large frying pan. Cut the zucchini into small bite-sized bits and add, along with any other veggies you;'ve chosen (except mushrooms -- if you use them, add them with the sauce). One minute later, add the noodles, chick peas, olives and cheese. Stir well and continue to cook on medium for another minute. Cover, turn hear to low, and make sauce. Sauce: 1 cup plain, unsweetened yoghurt 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1-2 ripe tomatoes, chopped 1 tsp lemon pepper 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp dill 1 tbs butter or butter substitute Simmer the above ingredients in a saucepan until almost boiling. Remove from heat and stir. Add sauce (and mushrooms if desired) to the spaghetti mixture, mix well, simmer another five minutes. Serve! Dill-Rubbed Salmon and Spinach Salmon fillets, frozen, thawed or fresh Fresh spinach Salt Dill seed, preferably crushed Butter of butter substitute Milk Preheat oven to BROIL. Put as much fresh spinach as you can fit into a baking pan. (Spinach shrinks.) Salt it a bit. (Spinach absorbs salt.) Place salmon fillets atop the spinach, place little pats of butter atop the salmon, and a couple little drips of milk atop the whole thing. Sprinkle all over with dill. How much? That depends on the size of the pan, the amount of spinach and the size of the fillets. Just little pats, just little drips, just little sprinkles. Broil this for five minutes, longer if you like your fish well done. If your broiler turns out to be slow, just keep broiling until the salmon doesn't look raw (slice carefully at the thickest part to take a peek). This is also good with a squirt of lemon juice! And now that dinner is over, here are some relatively dripless, unsticky poker party foods that can be enjoyed (not just tolerated) with a few fingers while clutching those killer hands (close to the vest, of course!) First of all, it doesn't hurt to have bowls of nuts set about. The unsalted sort are cleaner. Baby carrots, cut celery stalks, raw broccoli and cauliflower florets,, these are easy to prepare and a bowl of THICK, nondrippy dip next to the discards will be easy to scoop up. Horseradish Onion Dip: 16 oz. plain, unsweetened yoghurt four tsps prepared horseradish, red or white one large onion, peeled paprika, lemon pepper, to taste Chop the onion into tiny bits, mix well with all other ingredients, serve! Gen's Spinach Dip 16 oz. plain, unsweetened yoghurt 1 tsp lemon pepper 1 tsp honey 1 big bag or bunch of fresh, raw spinach 1/4 milk DO NOT BOIL THE SPINACH! Microwave the spinach and milk in a big bowl for two minutes. Put this with HALF the yoghurt and ALL of the other ingredients into a blender or food processor, on CHOP or the equivalent, for ten seconds, or as long as your equipment takes to chop but not fully blend the spinach. We don't want green yoghurt; we want yellowish yoghurt with lovely green bits in it. Turn out into a serving bowl, bledn in the rest of the yoghurt and slap it on the table. Cheese and crackers work well too. Cheese-flavored crackers, however, tend to have cheese powder on them that rubs off on your hands. Try smooth vegetable crackers, and use block cheese you've sliced to cracker-size rather than cheese spreads, which require utensils and can be messy. For players with a sweeter tooth, try a batch of cookies. Mohn Cookies 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 3 cups wheat flour 1/2 cup poppy seeds (black) 2 tsp baking powder 1/3 tsp almond extract 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup butter Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl In another bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Mix in the sifted ingredients, little by little, and then the poppyseeds. Punch a well in the center and add eggs and almond extract. Stir well. If the mixture is now too sticky to manipulate by hand, add flour little by little until it is JUST past that too-sticky stage. Refrigerate for an hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough out on a floured cutting board and cut by hand or with cookie cutters. For your poker-playing purposes, suit shapes are nice! (You can cut diamonds by hand but spade-, heart- and club-shaped cookie cutters are readily obtainable wherever you purchase your kitchenalia.) Bake on a greased cookie sheet for about 13 minutes, or until a light, golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet (carefully, without smooshing them!) as soon as possible to avoid burning the bottoms, UNLESS you've got a lightweight aluminum pan, in which case you they shouldn't burn. Cake Mix Cookies You've got a cake mix but cake would be messy to eat while playing cards. You can still use this mix! (Yes, any flavor will do.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease up a cookie sheet. Ignore the directions on the cake mix package. In a large bowl, mix the contents of the box with softened butter, butter substitute or (for peanut-butter cookies) peanut butter. How much, you ask? First add half a cup, then keep adding until the dough sticks together. It's all right if it's sticky. You just have to get it to the point that you can form balls of it without its all remaining on your hands. Then add one more tablespoon for luck. Mix well. Form balls, then flatten them out between your palms. You're making cookies about two to three inches in diameter here. Put the flattened cookies onto the cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. It's okay if they seem undone. They will harden as they cool, so don't wait for them to get hard in the oven! To sweeten the pot, try adding chopped walnuts or slivered almonds. For peanut butter cookies, if you have used smooth peanut butter, try adding some peanuts. Finally, you're going to need some coffee. Thai Iced Coffee Use the strongest grind you've got in your coffee maker. Put in enough water for a whole pot MINUS a cup. Add the contents of an 8-oz. can of sweetened, condensed milk to the pot and let the coffee drip right into it. Stir, refrigerate, serve! Sweet Nothing Mix together one part coffee-flavored liqueur, such as Kahlua, one part Irish cream liqueur, one part Amaretto and one part orange-flavored liqueur, such as Triple Sec or Cointreau. Serve straight, over ice or with cream. Now you're all ready to play, right? Sure, if you don't feel the need to decorate. Everyone's going to be keeping one eye on the cards, the other eye scanning for tells and a third eye on who's nabbed the last cookie. The fourth eye will be judging your ambience. Little things you can do to perk up the table: * Shape aluminum foil into suit shapes and spray-paint them black or red, as appropriate. Punch a small hole at the top of each and use string or ribbon to hang them from overhead light fixtures. * Obtain a paper tablecloth. It can be red and/or black and ready to use, but it might be more fun to get a white one, give everyone marker pens or crayons (prior to the game) and tell them before Omaha, they're playing Draw. Then draw! (Make sure all artistic output is dry before proceeding.) * Obtain photos of your guests. Digitally enhance them in one or more of the following ways: put their heads on the bodies of famous opposite-sex poker players; alter their expressions; draw funny party hats on them; place their faces on pictures of paint (royalty cards). Hang these in strategic places or incorporate them into the tablecloth. (You can even print them on napkins, but then no one will want to wipe their fingers!) * Even for finger food, plates are convenient, paper plates doubly so. Drinks tastes just as good, and have just as much of a caffeine kick, in a paper cup as in a demitasse or snifter. However, you can jazz up plain plates and cups without toxifying them. Try using a marker (well in advance of the game) on just the edge of the plate, to draw simple diamonds or hearts. (Spades and clubs are harder.) Use cups with handles, and tie small trinkets to the handles. For handleless cups, glue red ribbon around the center. (This makes the cup easier to grip, too, especially if you use a ribbon with texture.) Now unless you're bringing in a live band, crank up the CD or MP3 player, get ready for that monster hand, and let the cards speak! |
