Super Bowl Sunday! Maybe you're watching, maybe you won't. Either way, what's on the menu today?
I have prepared massive quanities of finger foods for consuming while IGNORING the Superb Owl ... popcorn shrimp, popcorn chicken, even popcorn popcorn! (too bad the makers of Li'l Smokies never rebranded as Popcorn Weenies)
We just finished the Puppy Bowl, and we ate leftover cacio y pepe and a green salad. If the Steelers aren't in the Super Bowl, we just watch for the commercials.
Well, I just realized that a year of successful dieting plus 3 weeks of being sick have together shrunk my stomach to the point that I can no longer pig out on MASSIVE quantities of popcorn anything... I seem to have enough left to cover 3-4 regular lunches, making next week much easier (but still, I totally overshopped).
I had toast with two slices of Bacon, did laundry, made meals for the week and SLEPT. Since I worked only 6 hrs Sunday, I tried to get all the things done. Now it's on to another week of the no days off Marathon.
Husband made excellent vegetarian chili, I made guacamole, cornbread, and chocolate peanut butter squares.
It was awesome and we have too few leftovers.
Had two glasses of sangria and some nice spinach pastry thingies.
For those of you not aware of how big the Super Bowl is here (think World Cup anywhere else), know that it's the only TV show in the world where Matt Damon can appear in an insurance commercial.
