Those of you that watch the Super Bowl-do you go to a party to watch the game and eat good foods, or stay home? My husband is the "football Widow" here in my home-smiles. I have always enjoyed watching sports-not golf or soccer though. My Mom only watched golf which I always thought was interesting being brought up on the farm with a woodstove and no electricity in the home. She first experienced electricity and more accessible running water when she went to college.
I don't go overboard with the food but I did pick up salsa, pico de gallo and corn chips, and I am making peperoncini beef sandwiches tomorrow. I learned about this sandwich from a friend years ago that came down to visit us from Wisconsin one weekend and brought fixings for meals. I have not made this in years so thinking Larry will love it. It has been over a year since I have eaten snack foods-so a treat for sure.
I am one of those people that prefer eating snack foods over real meals haha
Here is a photo I found online from here
When I went to the local grocery store I didn't like any of the buns they had. I did find a gluten free bun for me though. So I bought a whole grain thick bread instead-I will need to toast if first for this sandwich. I do have some quality hot dog buns in the freezer-I may just use those instead for Larry's sandwich
I baked us a cheesecake this week-one of Larry's favorite desserts-It turned out really good.
I always keep a lot of eggs in the frig-just so I have them on hand when I want to bake. The local grocery store had mostly empty egg cases, but they did have a decent assortment to choose from I only buy brown eggs. I was so happy to find a new brand of eggs what were from local farmers from Missouri in cardboard containers-that I prefer and large brown eggs and were free range. The price was $6.00 not too bad for these eggs.
The other day I searched on the You Tube channel for Slow stitching tutorials. I found Jo Mo link here to her channel
I am enjoying streaming tv service as I add the free app You Tube and all my subscriptions that I follow now are on my big screen tv to watch-much nicer.
The Jo Mo site has so many different ideas and little projects to try. She has beginner as well. Here is a too fun one-a scroll-I love this idea-and in one of her scroll tutorials she uses a wooden plain clothes pin to close it.. This looks like a fun project after my bags project is completed-or perhaps mid way for a break from the bags. Her site will give me stitching ideas for my bags too.
Happy Weekend and if you watch-Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday
Enjoy!
ReplyDeletethanks much
DeleteWe enjoy the game best right at home in our easy chairs. Your menu sounds perfect for the occasion. I have a weakness for snack foods, but at this time in my life I have had to give up most of the things I love to eat. Take care and enjoy the game! :~)
ReplyDeleteSame with me-giving up snack foods-I will eat a few of those during the game. I think staying home is much better especially being seniors now hugs
DeleteWE'll probably watch the game, and I did thaw out some pulled pork. Have fun Kathy, and enjoy the game. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks pulled pork is perfect for the game
DeleteHugs
Food sounds good. My husband doesn't like anything spicy. We will be home.
ReplyDeleteI have a rack of ribs I will be making. With some of the roast mini potatoes.
I will check out your slow stitching my friends are doing it and have done some lovely pieces.
Cathy
Ribs sounds perfect too-Larry's favorite. I am happy I found this new site. Loving her tutorials The slow stitching-is anything goes, and for me relaxing as well
DeleteAm making hot wings and cheese nachos for Super Bowl. We stay home. I love watching the commercials...and I heard this year the woke ones disappeared. Common sense is back. I did make that roast beef pepperoncini recipe before. It was good. Janice
ReplyDeleteYum cheese nachos sound perfect-I have not made those in years and we both love them but we also have issues with too much cheese now-no fun.
DeleteI am soooo glad common sense is back-for the most part. I look forward to seeing what the commercials will be this year and our President will be at the super bowl too wondering who will be with him.
We don't watch the Super Bowl but we're having a Cork Poppers party in the afternoon. We'll be done in time for the hardcore fans to get home and watch!
ReplyDeleteYour Cork Poppers party sounds fun. I only watch the super bowl game if I have a team that I follow-KC Chiefs or the Green Bay Packers otherwise I don't watch it
DeleteYou have no idea how much I would love to sit with you, enjoy your wonderful food (my that looks so yummy!!!) and watch the game in real time! By the lake... Instead I will be sound asleep...it starts 3:30 a.m. our time.
ReplyDeleteI wish you yummy FUN! Hugs to you and the lake
Thank you I will--can you record the game? Or find it on the internet later?
DeleteHugs back brrrr we are in the low 20's F this morning off to put my KC Chiefs sweatshirt on hugs
No, I can´t record it but hope they have the highlights in the program.
DeleteThe KC Chiefs got destroyed-and the half time show was the worse I have ever seen. congrats to the Eagles though-they came to win this one
DeleteWe prefer to watch the game at home, but this year we are going to a party. We do not have a TV in our camper, so we are going to watch at a friend of a friend's house. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I am glad you were able to find a way to watch the game-hope it is a fun day for you both
DeleteGirlfriend... wrote you a long comment.... wouldn't publish.... this one probably will... uuug... If it does.. enjoy the game and all your snacks!! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteoh no so sorry it didn't publish-Hugs
DeletePatrick watched the show and he really wasn't rooting for either team, but rather wanted to watch a good game. Years ago when we lived in southern NJ, he was an Eagles fan so he was partial to that team. He made his own snacks and had tortilla chips with a homemade clam and crab dip and a couple of beers. I visited another resident here and we played Scrabble for a couple of hours. The game was still going when I returned, so I finished a book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day for the both of you.
