Super Bowl food is the greatest

Oh how I wish the Colts were playing in the Super Bowl this weekend! Ah, well. The Steelers deserve to be there. Despite this silly Steeler's helmet that I've had since 3rd grade, I hope the Seahawks win.

We're having a bunch of Angela's co-workers over to the house, so this weekend is all about choppin', dicin', bakin', and cleanin'. Angela is off work today through Tuesday. Yay! So we get to putter and cook together and have quality time all weekend. To get further off the subject, a friend bought us NBAopoly and we're going to play that lots. It's like Monopoly only you get to own the Mavs and Lakers instead of Park Place and Broadway, and instead of going to jail you get sent to the bench. It's a hoot. We've only played once so far and Angela smoked me so badly that I got frustrated and quit with about six dollars left, while she had twenty-five hundred dollars and championship trophies on most of her properties. I must get revenge.

Anyway, we LOVE munchie food. Lots of munching greatness on the Super Bowl menu...spinach artichoke dip in a footbball-shaped crock pot, chips and salsa, proscuitto and parmesan pinwheels, spicey honey wings, bbq muffin cups which sound gross but aren't, cheese and crackers, and Monte Kristie's that we named after the girl who made them for us the first time. It's King's Hawaiian sweet rolls, ham, and swiss cheese with a mustard/poppy seed/butter/worchestershire sauce drizzled on top and then you bake 'em until the tops get crispy. They're amazing and terrible for you I'm sure, which makes them perfect to add to the pile of crap that we're already going to eat.

We thought about having a veggie tray, but our after party-vision included a huge mound of leftover carrots and celery that were only three carrots and two celeries short of where they started, so we decided to ax that idea and put that six bucks toward more carbs. Like Peanut M&M's. We bought a huge bag and tediously separated them by color, so now we have green and blue M&M's in one football-shaped dish and predominantly yellow ones with a few carefully placed blue and red ones in the other football-shaped dish. If we eat all the green and blue ones first the Seahawks will win I say. It has all been carefully planned.
