Ah, The Super Bowl. It might be the second biggest eating "holiday" in the U.S. after Thanksgiving. I'm not really sure where the tradition of stuffing your face while watching football started, but I'm not complaining about it! I mean, any excuse to eat while watching TV can't be bad (for your soul...but it could be bad for the body!) plus the food gives the football haters something to focus on while the others scream loudly at the television as if the referees can actually hear them. Which is probably why I made SO much food yesterday. As you may know from reading this blog, J is a musician. As you can probably guess, none of his musician friends watch sports of any kind. So the food was the reason they came, while only a couple of us actually watched the game. It was a win-win for everyone (OK, maybe not the Steelers...oh well...).
I don't know why I but I always make way more food than necessary, whether it's for a special occasion or just a regular ol' night. You'd think I was cooking for the Duggars (that family that has like, 100 kids) but I guess I always feel it's better to have too much that too little. Of course during the 4th hour of cooking I often wonder what the hell I was thinking, but then I get out of the weeds and it all works out. Isn't that the joy of cooking?! I just have this need to feed people...it's what makes me happiest, so I'll come up with any reason to cook mountains of food as long as there are people willing to eat it.
