Superbowl: Food or Football?

February 8th, 2010

We always get together with friends for the Superbowl. I’m not really that big on football, especially the NFL (personally I think it’s all rigged). For me it’s all about the food and friends. We usually plan out a special menu, last year we had a wild game theme with buffalo and venison mini burgers and other delicious sides. This year we’re doing fun snack food, like potato skins, chips, and these pretzel dogs.

I also made some of these chewy oatmeal cookies for Mr Chiots, he’s a big oatmeal cookie fan and I haven’t made them in a long long time! They were really great, perfectly chewy and full of nuts and raisins.

Of course there always ends up being too much food, but that’s what the Superbowl is all about. Food and Friends!

Did you watch the Superbowl? Is is about the football or the food for you, or something else?

    Mmm…everything looks delicious!

    For me, the Super Bowl is neither about the game or the food, but rather the commercials!

    I’ve probably only ever watched one Super Bowl game. This year Hubby watched it for a bit, but otherwise we were busy with a birthday party for my oldest.

    …… hands down it’s about the food…. I don’t even know who played… nor do I care. I’m just there for the friends and food :)

    We didn’t pay attention to the superbowl at all really (I didn’t even know who was playing until the this morning). We did get to go to the state fair yesterday though! We had hoped things would be a little less crowded with superbowl parties and such, but no— things were really crowded anyways!

      They were good. They’d be great to make and freeze for quick meals. I’d boil them and lightly bake them before freezing.

    It’s definitely all about the food for me. I love putting together a big spread and really pigging out! I’ve never seen pretzel dogs before–love the idea!

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
