A terrific - nail biting, fourth quarter heroics, run Forrest run, etc. - Super Bowl was played this year. Just the way we like it! Seven of us guys got together and rooted for our favorite team, even if most of us hadn't watched a pro football game all year. After all... it is the Super Bowl!
This is the first year we watched the game in HD. I guess the 52 inch Regza provided satisfactory picture quality. At least I didn't hear any complaints. However, I did forget to DVR the game, so we missed some of Bruce Springsteen's halftime show. We shoot hoops during halftime. Our previous game of H-O-R-S-E has been reduced to P-I-G. We're now all of an age that we would be on the court to the middle of the fourth quarter if we played more than just three letters. Besides, we needed to leave enough time to have our dinner meal after working up an appetite from playing hoops!
Food-wise, we always start with a delicious bowl of my famous road kill chili (Beales description) - slowly cooked to perfection the previous night. The chili, along with various snacks, gets us through to halftime. After hoops, we have a dinner meal that usually consist of roast beef or steak. This year I decided to serve a Harris Ranch cross-rib roast, purchased at the Nugget Market. The Nugget has really good beef. Nancy whipped up some mashed potatoes and gravy, along with green beans, to accompany the roast. For dessert, Dave Whiteside brought a chocolate treat that his wife, Eilene, had made from scratch and we had a store bought strawberry cream cheese cake as our other choice. No one left hungry!
So, another great Super Bowl game, that was shared with great friends and good food. What more does a guy need? See you next year!
