I spent all morning yesterday prepping lunch, watching the pregame shows and over all just enjoying the day. I cranked up the country in my kitchen and made Sweet Tea, Pulled Pork, Soyaki Drumsticks, Bread Cubes with Cheddar/Horseradish dip, Carrots and Broccoli with Bacon/Cheddar/Ranch dip, and of course chips and salsa. As always beer and coke are served.
Oh and if you have a costco, run don't walk, and get those pretzel slider buns. They are like the best thing to happen in my kitchen. EVER.
We had such a great day. A good friend of ours came and hung out, we played football at the park in front of our house during half time. I had gotten Carson some disk guns so those were a hit during the low parts of the game (hello first 3 quarters where the Ravens stomped the 49ers.)
The commercials were so hit or miss this year. The game finally got good after that power outage. 6wks till Selection Sunday! Whoop March Madness!
march madness is better than christmas. i am glad you share my same feelings!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun watching! I wasn't super impressed by the commercials and spent the game reading blogs. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe just picked up a package of those slider buns on Saturday! I had to put them in the freezer so that they'll still be around when we need them...ha ha! But I do think they are going to become one of our regular staples...
ReplyDeleteYum, your food looks way better than ours did! I really don't care much about the NFL so I had no desire to make a bunch of food for it, plus we weren't having many people over. My husband just ran to Safeway and bought a bunch of chips and candy, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a sports fan. But, I'd watch any sporting event if you promised to cook!
ReplyDeleteThose slider buns are aaaamazing! Last summer my mother in law had them as part of the sandwich bar at my bridal shower. They stole the show! I made grilled cheese sandwiches with the leftover ones. So completely yummy!
