Super Bowl Sunday!

Well, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and here I sit with bad cable. I suppose I could go to a sports bar to watch two teams I don't really care about play the game, but it's not that big a deal. The commercials are more fun than the game usually anyway.

On the menu at Chez mimi:

• Steak
• Baked potato
• Wedge salad with gorgonzola, bacon, and bleu cheese dressing
• Chex mix (store-bought this time; no time to make the family's world famous secret recipe)
• Hot dogs for the kids
  

You could make the argument that since this is the Super Bowl, you ought to serve all of your food in a bowl. That could mean:

• Ice cream (Ben & Jerry's Phish Food is a favorite)
• Cheerios
• Chex Mix (why buck tradition?)
• Ramen noodles
• Cashew chicken
• Cheese grits and sausage
• Salsa--or better yet, that killer queso dip you make with Velveeta and Ro-Tel
  

Nah, we'll stick with the steaks. The queso dip sounds good, though...

My office mate's husband is from New England, so they're rooting for the Pats to win. Maybe I should root for Philly just to be difficult. It's hard to get excited when there's no Florida team playing (thanks a lot, Jon "Chucky" Gruden). Thoughts?
