In civilizations long since past, the aging female was looked upon with respect. The oldest in the community was often called the wise woman, crone, healer, witch or just mother.

Personally, I like the term crone. I want to be a Crone.

Chicago Bear Meat Ball Recipe for Tailgating Pleasure

Green Bay Packer Fans have a chance to pick up some fresh bear meat on their way to the big Super Bowl party. Grandma has some tips on how to best prepare the Chicago Bear meat is a way that will make your cheese snacks taste even better.

The best tasting Chicago Bear meat won’t be available until after kickoff on January 23rd, of course, but Grandma is all about being prepared and wants to make sure you have all of the other ingredients you’ll need packed into the Green Bay Packer Fan Tailgate party kit.

A good treat for half time of the Packer – Bear football game is Bear Meat Balls. The Bear meat has probably been ground up during the first half of the football game and will save you, the Packer Fan from the task.

For each pound of Chicago Bear meat, add 1/8 of a cup of chopped onion, ¼ cup of bread crumbs and a tablespoon of milk.

Mix the ingredients together well. Form it into balls. You don’t have to be gentle when handling ground Chicago Bear meat. Go ahead and slap it, roll it, and add a bit of salt.

Add some oil to your skillet and heat it up until it starts to spit a bit. Many Green Bay Packer Fans enjoy the popping noise made as Chicago Bear meat is dropped into the hot oil. Fry the Bear meat balls until they are brown. Resist the temptation to overcook. We have a great football team that will take care of that.

Chicago Bear meat has to be cooked thoroughly to kill the dangerous bugs, diseases and parasites that the meat has been known to carry. Stay healthy so that you can enjoy watching the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl by finishing the Chicago Bear meat balls in the oven until you’re sure they are cooked thoroughly.

If you’re not planning on feasting on the Chicago Bear meat balls until the post game celebration, add 2 tablespoons of flour to the drippings in the skillet along with some water. Heat to a boil, stirring constantly and put the browned Chicago Bear meat balls back into the hot gravy bath. Turn down the heat and let them simmer for about an hour.

Don’t worry about turning down the heat on the Chicago Bear meat balls. The Green Bay Packers will be applying enough heat to the Bears on the field.

Grandma will be posting more Chicago Bear Meat recipes as she thinks of them. Check back often. Better yet, subscribe to Grandma Butts Inn.

Oldest NFL Rivalry Causes Mini Civil War

Arguments will break out today in offices and homes throughout the country as the stage is being set for the oldest rivalry in the NFL to battle it out in Chicago.


The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, two top contenders in the Black and Blue division made up of the Packers, Bears, Vikings and Lions, meet twice during the regular football season and cause commotion that can only be described as short lived civil war across the country.


It's brother against brother, husband against wife, coworker against coworker as team pride takes precedence over work tasks and tasks around the home and yard alike. And this year the game has national attention because it is played on Monday night. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?


Grandma is ready in her most comfortable Packer sweatshirt. Fans of da Bears are being identified and spammed on Facebook.


Usually, Grandma promotes understanding and tolerance as a way of successfully living in society, but on the day when the oldest NFL rivalry go head to head Grandma just joins in the fray.


It's time to fire up the grill and start the party. Cooking up some perfect steaks and brats? Slice some cheese to go along with that.


Grandma Butts Inn and says go ahead and argue. I think today should be a football holiday.
