The Super Bowl has become another great American holiday. And other than the actual game itself, a critical aspect of the event is the Super Bowl party. Seemingly no one watches the game by themself, and more importantly, no one watches it on an empty stomach!
Okay, the party I was at yesterday -- the centerpiece was a deep-fried turkey. YUM! There was also a smorgasbord of delicious artery-clogging cheeses and sliced meats, salads and salsas, chips and dips, kielbasa, bruschetta -- heck, someone even got crazy and threw together a plate of healthy veggies and fruit! And then at halftime, the desserts came out -- chocolate-dipped strawberries, cheesecakes, pastry and, of course, my decadent chocolate chip brownies (topped with vanilla ice cream, you know, just because).
At about 9:30, I turned to my friend and said, "Even though I can feel everything I've jammed in my craw stretching my innards to the bursting point, it all looks so good, I just can't stop!" Food, glorious food . . . oh, and there's a great football game, too?
Ahh, Super Sunday -- the Thanksgiving feast you get to have with people you like rather than your family!
