Starting a Super Bowl thread early

[tacosforlife]

I got to work at 6:15 this morning to earn some OT since dr.tacos is now a no-good layabout.

That asshole cracked a beer at 7:45 since he had to boil the brats in the stuff to get 'em ready for tonight.

[Cicero]

Damn. Now I want a beer brat.

[bimbi284]

We have to brave a winter storm/blizzard to drive to the burbs for a super bowl party. We are staying over, so won't have to drive back, but I'm not looking forward to the drive there. I am very much looking forward to said party though, so we'll leave early and suck it up!

[Deleted]

We weren't doing anything tonight but found out two friends didn't have plans so we invited both of them over. I see these guys at least once a week every week so I'm not throwing a "party". I'm making the same burgers and beer fries I would have anyway but 4 servings instead of 2. Easy.

::wipes drool:: Beer brats! What I wouldn't give for a real one right about now.

We're doing Midwest meats East Coast. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)

Beer brats and half smokes. NOM NOM.

[ECB]

I suspect that your DH, either last night or whenever he decided to make the brats, was all "Hmmm... how can I justify drinking at 7:45 am?? Oh, I know! Beer brats!"

We're doing nothing tonight. Young kids ruin everything!

LOL. We actually have been planning our menu for a while. We take a thematic approach to Super Bowl. It's serious business in the taco household.

Shocker that we take food seriously, I know.

[StrawberryBlondie]

We're not watching the Superb Owl, but we're going to make some apps and munch this afternoon. I think i'm going to put my baby in Vikings clothes to be ironic.

I was a little concerned to be drinking so early but glad he is cooking with it.

[josieposy]

I'm still recovering from a helluva cold, so it'll be just us chilling out with chips and salsa I think.

[sushi]

Apparently we'll be having beer brats and corn ice cream. (will there be soft pretzels with the beer cheese?)

It's been so long since we've lived near the east coast that h thought the game was on around noon. I laughed heartily at him. Of course he's watched pats games at 7 am multiple times in the last few years, so I can see how he'd be confused.

Where are you again?

We're in the same thing. But we're staying within a 4 Mile radius.

We have a kid birthday party/Super Bowl thing at 3pm and then we're heading to my sister's for the actual game and dinner.

Or at least that's the plan. We'll see come this afternoon.

Chicagoland. It's coming down pretty hard!!

[sparrowsong]

Could not care less about football. But I might turn on the kitten bowl later.

[pixy0stix]

We'll be ordering pizza. That's about it.

[moreace01]

I'm supposed to go to a Super Bowl party but its blizzarding. So...I'm not leaving the house.

It's been snowing since like 9pm last night and supposed to keep going till 9 tonight. We must have at least 6 inches already. Boo. I'm already eating the guacamole I was going to bring to the party. 

[omgzombies]

We're not going anywhere and we're not hosting which makes me a little sad. Not because of the football, but because I miss all the yummy foods. We'll probably do nachos for dinner, but I love the variety of party foods.

Don't you just love how it's like "And for today's weather we're having a blizzard. Be careful driving to your parties today." but for an entire week before the east coast got hit out was "WHITE STUFF FALLING FROM SKY FIVE DAYS FROM NOW! ZOMG! TRAVEL BAN! SHUT DOWN FREEWAYS!"

I have internalized the Super Bowl as a mid-afternoon event, too. .

[secretlyevil]

My seven layer dip and I are going to the in-laws.

[abramos]

Nothing major. I will be making lots of heavy apps so I do not have to cook this week. My dad will be coming over to watch the game

Do not forget about the Puppy Bowl and Kitty Half time show?!?!

Oh and only 371 days until SB 50 comes to my 'hood. Can't wait! ::enters sarcasm font here::

[taratru]

We are staying home, but I have no idea what we are eating. On the weekly plan it says "Super Bowl." Yum?

[picksthemusic]

I'm working on sweet and sour meatballs, Knorr vegetable dip, and chili/cream cheese dip. There will also be guacamole. DH also got 12th Man desserts. Calories don't count today. And, go Hawks!!

[Vespasia]

Somehow my eat leftovers and keep things simple plan totally went to shit. I've been cooking for 2 days straight. It's all simple stuff but it is still time consuming. We're having pulled pork, buffalo dip, bacon-wrapped potatoes, deviled eggs, and pickle dip. Oh, and I made brownies and bought cookies. Healthy!

H asked what time I wanted people to come over. I said six. He said "oh I'll just say anytime after 5." No goddamn it! I need to finish cooking, set everything out, take a shower, and put on makeup!

What is pickle dip?

[emilyj]

We are hosting a small GTG. I'm making baked ziti, and other people are bringing stuff for munchies.

I forsee the whole evening devolving into inappropriate sexual humor, given this group.

Also, fuck Pete Carroll.
