Food Super Bowl Munchies

Mmmmmm. It's gonna be a fun time at the @snowy residence this Sunday. Best of success to you!

 

With all those beans, it's going to be a little smelly, too.

 

With Denver in the game, it will be an awesome day to go skiing. 90mph down I-70 and a powder day at Vail.

 

But the melody will linger on...

 

That just sound ridiculously awesome, @snowy! I've just gotten my chili made up and it's simmering away in the oven

 

Man, I'd love to nosh at your place snowy. I really hope we get in the kitchen at some point

 

OMG, the pizza tots were amazing!
I couldn't find nitrate-free pepperoni in Bumfuck, Louisiana, so I had to use a tomato-basil chicken sausage... which was okay, because I prefer sausage to pepperoni on my pizza anyway. You'd probably not realize that they're not made with potatoes, but you'd never know it was cauliflower.
My whole place smells like pizza. With some Muir Glen organic tomato-basil red sauce, they were crazy-good.
Next time, I'll add some red pepper flakes and blow them out of the water.

I have never been to, or hosted a Super Bowl Party. I once worked a bar during the Grey Cup.

The whole football thing escapes me.

 

yeah, I tried to explain the rules of football to my younger son yesterday - he was wondering why there was only a few minutes off the clock but it looked like everybody stopped playing. I explained about the strategic nature of the game and the offensive/defensive play setting and gaining forward momentum to the goal. Not like the other football (soccer) where everybody mills about the field kicking the ball around and nobody knows when the game ends, or even how long a game is - punctuated with some actual playmaking.

 

Very impressive spread!

We finished dinner just a little before kickoff. After the game my wife munched on queso & tortilla chips, I had venison & cheese summer sausage with some Keebler Buttercrisp crackers. Big whoop, eh?

 

Chili is even better on the second day...mmmmm.

 

in honour of the game, Our family consumed appetizers only: samosas, chicken wings, pad thai egg rolls, mini bacon quiche. I even cut up some celery & cucumbers and set out with some Kraft blue cheese dressing as dip (who was I kidding??)

Also, my dearest wife spent the afternoon preparing a batch of cupcakes that were decidedly 'American': bourbon (Jim Beam double aged black) vanilla chocolate chip with some pecan topped with bourbon (Jim Beam double aged black) infused vanilla frosting which was in turn topped with chocolate chips, pecans and drizzled with a bourbon (Jim Beam double aged black) & caramel reduction.

The bathroom scales were locked in the linen closet before the game started.




As far as the game goes, I think we saw all the possible ways to score points: single conversion (1 point) double conversion (2 points) Safety (2 points) field goal (3 points) & touchdown (6 points).

Now if this was a REAL football league ( ), there would have been an opportunity to witness a rouge:

In the CFL, a single (single point, or rouge), scoring one point, is awarded when the ball is kicked into the end zone by any legal means, other than a successful field goal, and the receiving team does not return, or kick, the ball out of its end zone. It is also a single if the kick travels through the end zone or goes out of bounds in the end zone without being touched, except on a kickoff. After conceding a single, the receiving team is awarded possession of the ball at the 35-yard line of its own end of the field.
