Super Bowl

The Super Bowl was on my Mom's birthday this year, but I wasn't home to go to the annual family Super Bowl party. I did call my mom and wish her a happy birthday though. And I still got to watch the game even though I don't have a TV. Everyone went over to Ice and Joel's place for some Super Bowl fun!
I made an appetizer of mini rye breads with cream cheese, cucumber and dill. It was what I call a half good for you and half bad for you appetizer. And I must say I am coming around to cucumber more and more these days, but I still can't do it alone with nothing to hide part of the flavor. I really do wish I liked cucumber more seeing as how I love how fresh and crisp it smells.
When Goose, CB Radio and I got to the party I made a "grid" so there could be some gambling involved; who doesn't love a little side action betting. There would be a winner every quarter and the prize money got greater for each quarter. If you won the final score you would win the most money. And of course who won.....none other than "please just say my name once so I feel like I could win" CB Radio. I did win the second quarter after the interception for a touchdown by Pittsburgh at the very end of the second quarter! I didn't want it to count, but then I heard my name as a possible winner and loved that it was going to stand.
At halftime we got some Atomic wings, right next door by the way. I have never had Atomic Wings before and Joel loves them so I wasn't sure what I would be in for. They were pretty good, but not as meaty as Murray's wings. In my opinion it is kind of hard to mess up Buffalo sauce, but as you will read in a later post, hopefully coming soon, it is possible and I had some.
In the end Arizona didn't win, damn, but it was still a good Super Bowl. All I can ever ask for when watching the super bowl is that it is a good game that keeps you interested throughout. And I am happy Joel and Ice asked us over otherwise I may have not been able to see the game or had to go to a bar by myself and look like a total loser.

I watched the Super Bowl, but there was no "touchdown" with a baby on the way.
