Joyce: Ciabata is a very unusual bread that is crisp on the outside and very tender and open-textured on the inside. The bread is baked free-standing on a sheet pan, and is a great bread for sandwiches or to eat with Italian main dishes. Are you just hosting your friends during the football games or are you actually interested in the sport? My team, the Colts, won yesterday and play again Sunday, and you can bet I'll be watching. I'd love to see them get to the Superbowl, but the game with Denver is going to be tough. Actually, I've got some recipes I've been thinking of making on the big game day. I can't remember if I shared it on the list I have one for a Buffalo chicken sandwich that serves 6 that would be fun to try, though it's a lot of work.

I made the one with nutmeg and cinnamon yesterday and was it ever good! I will make the other one next time. I'm having friends in for football games next Sunday so I'll serve it with some appetizers. By the way, what is ciabatta bread? I never heard of it until this morning when I saw it discussd on the list. Joyce
