Food for finales & premieres



Food for finales & premieres
 
Food for finales & premieres. We are a nation that loves to be entertained, with a little something to munch on the side. Popcorn, mints and licorice pair nicely with movies. Hot dogs and cheesy nachos go hand-in-hand with baseball. Cold pizza works with just about everything, but especially YouTube.
And television?
With so many season premieres and finales ahead, we suggest foods that complement the personality, the content and the zeitgeist of a few popular TV shows.
So, we offer a few ideas on what to eat -- and recipes -- with nine shows.
'American Idol'
An annual favorite, "American Idol" already has people picking their winner for this season. The perfect food pairing? Ham plus a really cheesy potato casserole.
'Glee'
Carryout from your favorite Italian restaurant chain, heavy on the breadsticks. Or sloppy joes and potato chips. Or toss a slushies party.
'Gossip Girl'
Strictly a liquid diet (e.g., coffee or Champagne).
'Mad Men'
Martinis, iceberg salad, coq au vin, red table wine, scotch, fruit cocktail, brandy, Salisbury steak.
'Modern Family'
Cereal. Frozen TV dinner and a big glass of milk.
'NCIS'
Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Abby Sciuto and Timothy McGee
'The Good Wife'
Big steaks, bigger glasses of red wine, Italian beef sandwiches with soggy fries or a hot dog on a sesame-seed bun with neon-green relish.
'30 Rock'
Mac 'n' cheese, doughnuts and "funky juice" -- white wine, ice and lemon-lime soda -- and cinnamon nuts.
'True Blood'
Deviled eggs, devil's food cake. Or Bloody Marys, steak tartare and blood sausage

Death sought for man accused of killing mom, half brother, Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for a Nebraska man charged with killing his mother, throwing his 5-year-old half brother in a river and leaving his 11-month-old half brother in a dumpster. Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said Monday that several aggravating factors exist in the case against Roberto Martinez-Marinero. Authorities say Martinez-Marinero surrendered to police Thursday and said he'd stabbed his mother, 45-year-old Jesus Ismenia Marinero. The 25-year-old man also said he had thrown Josue Ramirez-Marinero in the Elkhorn River and put Angel Ramirez-Marinero in the dumpster. Authorities found a body Monday that investigators believe is Josue, but a forensic examination will be conducted for confirmation. The boy's family has been notified. Angel was found bruised but alive Wednesday in the dumpster in La Vista. His mother's body was found Wednesday night in a southeast Omaha ditch. Klein...

Police made an arrest over the incident, but it drew a crowd which then turned violent. One witness told the station that a girl involved in the fight punched a police officer in the face.
