I Came for the Food, I Stayed for the Food

So... another Superbowl Sunday come and gone. Not such a big deal around this household. We're baseball people. Mr. C is an ex skate boarder, so when the X Games are in town you'll see some excitement. But the Superbowl.... eh. We're in it for the food really. I mean we're really in it for the food. As I'm typing this (with the top button on my pants undone), I'm starting to feel the shame that follows a good old fashioned pig out. The sundresses and skinny jeans I have in my closet will hang there and mock me for weeks to come. However, this Superbowl turned out to be kind of fun- a nice (relatively) quiet day with the family. I have the break down for you right here:
(Hey! Break down? I'm not sure but did I just use a sports term just now? Wow.)

PreGame- Turn on the T.V. so that I can find out who's playing this year. I decide to root for The Saints, mainly because although I've never been there, New Orleans sounds way more fun than Indianapolis. My logic is this: New Orleans=fun=more deserving of winning than the team from the not-fun place.
- Put out chips, guacamole, and party mix for the kids consisting of honey nut cheerios, pretzels, marshmallows, and mini- chocolate chips. YAY family fun!
-Print out Super Bowl Commerical Bingo cards for 9, me, and Mr. C. Briefly debate over whether "Big Boobs" spot on the card is too inappropriate for the 13 year old. Decide it's nothing he prob wouldn't notice anyway. We go with it.

Kick Off- Am mildly disappointed to find that the Colts' uniforms are blue (my favorite color) and that the Saints are fitted in yucky gold and black. I toy with the idea of changing alliances, but decide to be a tough girl and stick with my original choice.
- I put out the potato skins and all the toppings for the "make it yourself" potato skin bar. Wonder why in the world I bought so much food and not invite anyone else over. Seriously, what was I thinking?
- Give the children their big surprise "treat": Gatorade. They go beserk with happiness.

First Quarter- Congratulate myself on how good the guacamole turned out.
- Banish the small children to their rooms to live out the rest of the sugar rush after finding J on top of Princess G and shoving marshmallows into her mouth while she laughed Gatorade out of her nose.
- Mark off the car commercial, dot com commercial, person falling over, and fast food commercial from of my bingo card.
- Give up on my team since they're already loosing, and really, what's the chance of a comeback at this point in the game?

Second Quarter- Put out the hot wings with celery and bleu cheese.
- Continue to remark out loud how good the guacamole is.
-Laugh at this commercial.
- Get back on board with my team, since they scored and are clearly destined for victory.
- Mark off cell phone and E-Trade commercials off my card. All I need is a potato chip commercial. Why are they only advertising Dorito Corn Chips?

Half Time- Watch The Who and silently wonder which other bands might've been better. About a million come to mind.
-Continue waiting for my potato chip commercial.
-Put out some Vegetarian Chili and Fritos.

Third Quarter- Lay on the couch motionless and think about how happy I am that we didn't invite anyone over, as I am knee deep in a warm and fuzzy food coma and would currently make a horrible hostess.
-The Colts score, and I start worrying about my team again.

Fourth Quarter- Where or where is my dang potato chip commercial? It's all I need for Bingo.
-Continue eating the guacamole, even though my brain is telling me it's way past time to stop.
-9 gets Bingo with the Monkey spot. We argue briefly over whether it counts or not since it was a Kia Sock Monkey and not the real deal. In the end we give it to him.
-I come to terms with the fact that this is not the year for potato chip commercials.
-My Saints win! I always knew they could do it!

That's my Superbowl afternoon. Small, silly, and chock full of food. I'm so stuffed that I'm going to go roll myself off to bed. Before I do though, I thought I'd pass along my guacamole recipe in case any of you are interested. I don't measure anything. Just eyeball it and do taste tests to improve. It's yummy.

2 avocadoes
1-2 slices of lemon (to squeeze for the juice)
sour cream
1 clove of garlic, chopped
paprika
salt
pepper
Tapatio
onion powder

Mix it all up and mash. When finished mashing, put the avo seed back in. This keeps the guacamole from getting brown. (Did you know that? My next door neighbor taught me that trick and I was surprised to find out that it really works)

Well, that's it. I hope you all had a fun Superbowl Sunday. May your pants all fit in the morning! (I already know mine won't).
Good night!
