Food and Commercials and, oh, Football

B loves football, but doesn't actually commit to watch very many games--only those that really matter (mostly college) to him. And the SuperBowl. I even look forward to it, though I have no real favorite this year. We get comfy, scratch our heads at some of the mega-dollar ads, laugh our heads off at others, critique the half time show (Bruce Springsteen should be OK, Paul McCartney was not), and hopefully enjoy a good game. All while noshing on man-food like Pigs in Blankets (Lil' Smokies wrapped in puff pastry, baked, dipped in hot mustard. The only occasion that even remotely justifies Lil' Smokies). I lack the ambition to do anything more complex. We'll have fresh fruit and veggies, and maybe these chocolate peanut butter goodies for a sweet treat. I've a feeling they won't last long.

Will it be just the three of you or will you have guests? I just realized that we're supposed to go to a friend's for the big game, totally forgot until your post!

a couple of neighbors. tricky to invite lots of people (of your same faith anyway) considering we've been asked not to watch sports on Sunday...we are such gentiles.

I am so excited for the game... especially since my team made it! Go Steelers!
