superbowl? i loved the commercials!

hc and i were invited to kevin and lisa’s super bowl party.

i had attended their party before many, many years ago. so, i was very excited to be able to go again this year. we met up at the p’s and we all dropped the kiddies off. hc drove us all {as in my sis kim & my bro in law terry} to the party, which was a quick ride to addison. as soon as we got there, the over indulging began!

[double, double toil and trouble…matching shirts and cauldron bubble. apparently someone forgot to give hc the memo that we all were wearing plaid shirts!]

as soon as we walked in, we were offered drinks. why, yes of course!  my sister and i decided to imbibe some delicious red wine {the boys reached for the beer}. kevin so graciously picked out a lovely bottle for us to drink!

lisa and kevin had so much food! hey, it was the super bowl and over consumption is so american, non?

snacks, upon snacks did everyone graze on. there was guac and chips, dips, finger foods, sandwiches, bugles {yes, i said bugles}, bread, brownies, cookies, mints, candies, and so on! my appetizer of choice were two giant chocolate chip cookies. i couldn’t resist! it was home baked and looked so yummy and delicious. i downed one cookie and had to have another!

[i haven’t seen these since i was a kid! 😉 lol]

the game started and we continued to nibble {so much for watching what i eat to lose this pregnant weight!}. we were all waiting for the biggie food of the night…chili!  kevin starts making his famous chili three days before the super bowl! he makes 3 huge stock pots of different kinds of chili. so stinkin’ good!  he made a spicy chili, regular chili, and a vegetarian chili.  there were also three types of cornbread that were brought by some guests.  regular cornbread, hot chili cornbread, and bacon cornbread…wha, wha!

of course they had all the trimmings as well, tomatoes, diced onions, sour cream, shredded cheese, oh my! i tried the spicy {holy spicy!} chili and the vegetarian, both excellent eats! btw, i love cornbread…i couldn’t stop eating the cornbread! i ate it by themselves then crumpled a big muffin of cornbread all over my bowl o chili – excellent!

of the times i did pay attention to the tube, i absolutely loved the radio shack commercial!!!! it was hilarious! really? ‘the 80’s called and they want their store back’?!  so freakin’ funny. there were quite a few commercials that were fabulous but this one really made me laugh out loud.

[i absolutely love that terry is ‘trying’ to cross his eyes!]

unfortunately, the game was very boring.  yes, boring. one, i’m not that into football and two, the seahawks just mowed, mowed over the broncos…so it wasn’t even exciting to watch.  just painful.

on the bright side, hc and i took home tubs of chili for some tasty leftovers!!! woo hoo!
