Game? There's a Game?
Cranky says we should TiVo the Superbowl, and then spend our time in the kitchen fooling around.
When we're ready to look at our recording, we'll just zoom past all the football bits, and watch the commercials.

Rah, rah, rah for YOUR team. Great idea. I couldn't care less (except for some lingering feeling of support for the Patriots' pulling off this season). Great time to go to a movie or to eat out in a usually-crowded restaurant.
Or cook.
Oh Cookiecrumb, You are so Marin. It was a great game. The Cheerleaders sparkled. We had Hot Wings (Third Place),Nachos,Beer and everything else the farmers market will not sell. It was great!!
What? There was some sort of game? On TV? I was zesting oranges and I didn't notice. I also don't have TV, so there's that.
Kudzu: I didn't support either team, but it was fun to watch.
We cooked up some seven-layer dip, and it was good. With home-cured jalapenos.
Chilebrown: I watched! I even drank beer.
(Ooh! Congratulations on third place!)
Peter: It's called football. America. Like Super Tuesday.
The football "bits" were so much better than the commercials.
The beers ads reinforce that their beers are crap. How savvy.
I love the Superbowl--it's the best day of the year to go hiking on Mt. Tam, the trails are empty.
I was sad I missed my hike this year (sigh). Had I been there, I would have tried to crash your seven-layer dip party afterwards:-)
I should have zoomed through the game too. My beloved Pats lost. I think I'll need chocolate today. Lots of it.
oh - so my kinda guy
i never watch
but i'm happy ny won as it's my home town.
First time in 10 years I watched it.. heard that 60% of the US population tunes in, and thought I'd better experience the cultural phenomena and of course the commercials.. but I human-tivo's by going in the the kitchen a lot!
That's the best idea ever! I once went to a Super Bowl party and played cards with some friends in another room. We paused our game during every commercial break so we could go watch.
Nudge nudge wink wink, so what kind of fooling around did Cranky want to do in the kitchen? :)
I watched the Tom Petty halftime show. Does that count? I think all the good commercials are online this morning.
Jack: Yeah, the ads didn't do much for me. I didn't see them all, but... (Oh, and the beer I drank was Budweiser from a can.)
Tea: It was a bit weatherish here yesterday. You'd have been a lightning rod on Mt. Tam. Today -- clear skies.
Susan: Cranky is also a New Englander (did time in RI, in fact), but he was stoic. It was a good game.
ceF: But we did end up watching. Together. Eating the 7-layer dip we prepared together in the kitchen at appropriate moments, some of them commercials.
Anna: I bet it left you cold. But it was a good game, especially considering that the Patriots were expected to win.
Julie: I have seen the same thing at Super Bowl parties. It's very friendly, I think.
(Then there's the SB party we go to every so often, given by a friend who puts TVs all over the house, including one in the bathroom! Eek.)
Lannae: I thought somebody was gonna ask that. We fooled around by trying to get seven whole layers to add up. We finally decided chopped cilantro on top counted as a layer.
Amy: Yes, I watched Tom Petty too. He looks good for a guy my age. But luckily I don't need to glue my hair to my forehead to hide my balding. (Also, Tom: Lose the beard!)
sounds good to me! there was something going on the tv, but I was in the kitchen stuffing my face with loads of yummy food! yay for stupid bowl! now we can look forward to baseball!!
fred had a shot playing in the ironman trailer Unfortunately they played at the very moment I went to retrieve my prather-burger from the grill so I missed it :(
I have leaned from tragic experience that fooling around in the kitchen can lead to nasty burns, spills and even sliced fingers, particularly if the fool-er does not give the fool-ee any warning ;)
Stacie: Oh, yeah. Baseball. That's pretty much hot dogs, isn't it? I like hot dogs. Oh, and those squirty nachos; I'm working on my cheese sauce.
Sam: Oh no! I wish I'd known.
Ms. Mouse: We're old. The kitchen is the only room that sees any heat these days.
You are taking about the Puppy Bowl, aren't you? I vaguely heard that there was some other event with large, over-padded men in helmets fighting each other over a scrap of pigskin but that sounded so medieval so I didn't bother watchin.
You've got me pegged Cookiecrumb! I was so appalled at the lopsided emphasis on 'the win' as the end all and be all and all that could possibly matter. It's just a game!
I thought of you last night when I grated orange zest on chioggia beets marinated with Meyer lemon juice, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, chives, and chopped mint. It was delicious. Thanks for the inspiration.
CC,
Fooling around?{raised eyebrow} Does this involve whipped cream and nekkidness?
NamasteNancy: Puppy Bowl? OMG, must investigate (but sh... don't tell Bean Sprout).
Anna: Heh!
Anna Banana: You're most welcome. Sounds deelish.
I've actually been off oranges for a couple of days, due to the nature of the cuisine hereabouts (seven-layer dip, yes), but I'm ready to rejoin you.
Kevin: Naw. Being nekkid in the kitchen just invites nasty bacon spatters... And there will be bacon.

NamasteNancy: Wow! I just had to ask Cranky whether we get Animal Planet (we do, but I'm not TV-literate). Thanks.
