Super Bowl Sunday

I have not been known for liking football. I do however understand the importants of football for the men that hang out at my house. Outside of going to my son's games, I could care less for the sport. My brother on the other hand lives for it.


For the past 2 years he has taken over my house to watch the Super Bowl. Because of my Brother's love for the game he has dragged my poor husband along. Kevin has never really gotten into the sport, but he is starting too because of my Brother.

This year I was just going to let them watch the game like always but my brother wanted to have a blast. He brought his big cooler over filled with 2 cases of beer. I don't drink myself ,but I don't mind if others do as long as I don't have to clean up after them. Kevin doesn't drink much either, but I told him to have fun because you only live once.

Kevin and I had decided that I would make meatballs in the slow cooker and we would have meatball sandwiches. Kevin then suggests that we buy plates and cups so I would not have to clean. He figured why should I get stuck with a mess when I was not even going to be in on the fun. I was going to spend my time on the computer. Kevin and I ran around and picked up cups, plates, silverware, chips and all the stuff for the meatballs. Yes, we had to get chips, because you can not drink beer without salty chips to make you thirstier.

My friend Beth was coming over to watch the game also and she came over to steal my big pan. Why? Because she was making a big pot of her great chili to bring. My Mother brought over fried chicken. I didn't even know she was bringing chicken. Beth also made a batch of sausage and cheese dip. It may not look to desirable, but it was great! There was plenty of food for everyone to munch on and I did not have to do the dishes afterwards. The game was great and My Brother's team won.

Everyone had a good time and we sat around laughing for a couple of hours after the game.
