I always look forward to the SuperBowl. I have to: I married an all-American sports-loving meat-and-potatoes boy. Football is his favorite of all sports (with baseball, basketball and soccer all vying for second place) so over the years, rather than resent this devotion, I've grown to love and understand it. A little bit. I typically don't like a loud obnoxious game on the tv on a peaceful Sunday afternoon, but I'm weakened by the pomp and circumstance that is the SuperBowl and I make an exception. I don't really have a preferred outcome this year (Tom Brady's alright, but I think it's time for Eli to have his moment) so I can just enjoy the commercials, the half-time show, snuggling with my boys, and guy-food. Our menu:
chicken jack quesadillas with fresh guac (never ever that stuff from a package)
tortilla chips and homemade salsa
black beans with cumin and cilantro
pineapple
brownies and M&Ms
note: the un-cooked tortillas made by Tortillaland, available at Costco, are wonderful. You'll never settle for anything else once you've tried them! You cook them before you eat them, of course.

Those sound fabulous! I always am in the mood for TexMex.
I've never liked football much but I have a son who is so into it that it's changed me--now I kind of have to be interested if I'm going to connect with him. :)
