Bella Como
Mahogany speedboat, Lake Como shimmering behind them, two Negronis sweating on the deck. Sally takes in the villas; Larry takes in the binoculars, scanning the far shore for one thing only — smoke off a sausage and peppers grill.

Full transcript
Can't steal you, the sailing sunny side. Larry, we're finally in Lake Como. Isn't this incredible? No time for sightseeing, Sally. We're here for one reason. Let me guess. George Clooney. Does George know we're coming? Not yet. There, that's got to be Clooney's villa. Larry, that's a hotel. There, George. That's a restaurant. No questions. This investigation requires hydration. Larry, that's your third cocktail. I'm being thorough. You seen this guy around? George Clooney. Exactly. Tell Larry Sausage is looking for him. Who is Larry Sausage? George knows. You are friends? Not yet. Sally! It's Clooney. What? Where? George! It's Larry Sausage. George! Wait for me. George is definitely moving now.

The Dinner Party
The candles are lit, the good silverware is out and the guests arrive in their finest — and Larry greets them at the door with a beer and a platter. Sally keeps her hostess smile while the man in the tie sips his wine and wonders what exactly is being served. Formal dinner, Uncle Larry rules.
The Toast
A black-tie party in a glowing house full of champagne and string lights gets an uninvited guest: Larry, in a suit, holding a beer bottle like a microphone. Sally covers her face, the tuxedos turn around, and somehow Larry still ends up in the middle of the room raising a glass with everybody.
Tiger by the Tailgate
Larry and Sally hike a sunlit jungle trail in full safari kit and come back with a third guest for the cookout: a tiger. Beers in hand, sausage and peppers on the grill, and the biggest cat in the jungle leaning in for a sniff — this tailgate has a strict no-sudden-movements policy.

League Night Kingpin
Larry shows up to the lanes in a fresh team shirt, briefcase in hand, and lets everyone assume what's inside. Spoiler: it's not a bowling ball — it's tonight's sausage and peppers, and league night will never be the same.
Quick answer
How do you make sausage and peppers for a large group?
Plan about one link (roughly ¼ pound) per person as a sandwich, or 1½ links as a main plate, plus about half a pepper and a quarter onion each. Cook in batches on sheet pans at 425°F or on the grill, then hold everything warm in a covered roaster or slow cooker with a little sauce or stock.
