'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, I got less than steller news from the doctor about my blood sugar. which was not a surprise, but I have three months to bring in the right direction. ( or more meds). This is my long way of saying I have to go for a walk before I turn on the puppy bowl.
I feel like be lazy, not active. bah. but I just saw a scary number .
I'm rooting for the Cardinals because I lived in Cleveland for too many years to ever root for the Steelers.
Hee! Barb is me. The Steelers are the enemy. I even rooted against the Steelers when my team didn't freaking exist. (Thanks, Art!) But my former pastor in Kansas is a huge Pittsburgh fan, so I anticipate a phone call at some point during this day.
Furthermore, I am happy to say I'm perfectly capable of being a fair-weather, jump on the bandwagon Cards fan. It was fun picking up the bratwurst at the supermarket today. Everyone was going nuts and buying meat. Not necessarily in that order. But really, there is a lot of meat that's going to be consumed in Arizona today.
I saw somewhere this week (Tom Colicchio's Top Chef blog?) that Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day for food consumption in the US, after Thanksgiving.
I saw that too. . . probably on Top Chef.
So, would all the Super Bowl food be uniquely American? (Mixing discussion threads.)
Nearly all the best... well, at least most popular, junk foods originate in the New World, with the standout exception of pretzels -- consider just corn, tomatos, hot peppers and chocolate and everything that derives from them.
Which reminds me, I have several unopened bags of Snapea Crisps downstairs.... mmmmmh!
consider just corn
Which led to the most awesome snack food EVER. (Funyuns!)
Also Corn Nuts.
Hmm. Barbecue didn't come up as uniquely American food, eh? Mmm, barbecue. We're having bratwurst though, which isn't. But it is yum. And D. is making fries & ketchup as per the recipes of Alex Jamieson (Morgan Spurlock's wife). Also yum.
I had to pick up some potato chips on my way home from the pharmacy. Even if I'm not watching the Superbowl, it just seemed like sacrilige to not eat some junkfood today.
I have jalapeno cheetos and magic beer
Thank you all for the whitefont. I'm trying not to get spoiled before I finish watching the tape of the Australian Open, but then I keep forgetting and going to my normal internet places.
