Good morning friends, I hope that you don’t have Superbowl hang-overs. I don’t, but I had a fantastic night!
I got home from work and my special friend was there with some groceries ready for a Super Sunday feast. The original plan had been for some wings and maybe a couple beers. However, the actual spread ended up including BBQ Chicken Wings, Taquitos, Crinkle Cut French Fries, fresh Celery with Ranch dressing and 6 Tall Boys of Coors Light. It was more than a simple boy could have imagined or hoped for.
1. Celery and Ranch were presented first to snack on while the hot food cooked in the oven. (Which we never use because here is no temperature gauge on the thing at all)
2. The fries were then ready so we sprinkled some salt and vinegar on them, poured some Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce on the plate and ate like kings with our first beer.
3. After the fries were wholly consumed we used the same plate to pile on the wings. The entire box of wings went on the plate and we started eating once again. Bones dropped into a cereal bowl at an almost alarming rate and beer being swallowed to quench thirsts and supplement taste.
4. The last course was the Taquitos. I’m not sure I’d ever had them before, but I can tell you right now that I will have them again. Little tacos wrapped tightly in a cigar type shape, beef and cheese filled and tasty down to the very last bite. We dipped them in Queso Cheese and enjoyed while we moved on to beers number 2 and 3.
Meanwhile, there was a game going on of course. And it was a good one. I was cheering for the Steelers and thought that things were going pretty well for the good guys, but it got dicey there for a few minutes in the fourth quarter. I also said aloud that the under (46.5) was looking good even in the third quarter, but hey, what do I know. It’s a good thing I didn’t have any money riding on things.
The game ended fantastically with Santonio Holmes making a ballet inspired catch in the back corner of the end zone to put the Steelers ahead in the final minute of play and a Steelers fumble recovery with only 5 seconds left to seal the deal.
Overall I can’t say that I wasn’t happy with any part of Superbowl Sunday. It’s a holiday as far as I and many other people are concerned, and a good one at that.
