COOKING BREAKFAST FOR A CROWD

The Daily Game-The clock ticks but nothing has changed at Bond?s Pool Hall in Pleasurville Ky., since it opened in the 1930?s. The regular patrons are mostly retired and come every day for a morning game at nine and again in the afternoon until close at five. Some have been playing at the pool hall since they were kids. Judy ?Pappy? Willhoite, 78, said, ?I have been playing here since I was as tall as the pool table.?
In between playing pool patrons take time to tell stories and catch up on town gossip, while the smell of cigarettes and fresh cooked hamburgers hovers in the air.
Owen Bond the current owner purchased the pool hall from his uncle after retiring. ?It gives me something to do,? Owen said. A game of pool cost a quarter and small bets are usually placed ?You can play all day and only loose five dollars,? said Guy Winters. When the clock hits five the regulars hang up there pool sticks and Owen racks the balls leaving them ready for the morning time game, ?another day, another quarter? Owen said.

Taste centerpiece about "man cooking" for the superbowl game. For this Wednesday's food section, I had to make the salsa verde recipe and model for the illustration. Last time I'll ever complain about the story selection!
