Super Bowl Sunday

Super Bowl!

Yes, it’s Super Bowl Sunday 2013! The Super Bowl here in the USA is almost a holiday. It’s a strange thing, but at the ripe old age of 54 I can remember the very first Super Bowl played.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded to the Super Bowl winner. Vince Lombardi was the much beloved coach of the Green Bay Packers.

Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season, while Super Bowl XLVII will be played on February 3, 2013, to determine the champion of the current 2012 season.

They only use Roman Numerals to designate the number for the Super Bowl being played.

NFL^‡/NFC^* teams (25 wins) AFL^{^}/AFC^† teams (21 wins)

I think I can safely say I have watched almost all of them. Especially the ones where the New England Patriots played. But even when they didn’t, I would go to parties and while others watched the games and enjoyed appetizers, I would enjoy the food and watch the commercials.

So, what do I have on the menu for Hubby and I tomorrow? At noon I will make up a 7 layer Mexican dip and let is chill.

While that is going on, we’ll enjoy some Shrimp Cocktail and bread sticks.

At 3:30 we will enjoy the 7 Layer Dip. I’ll also pop the cork on some champagne, cheap of course! Then at 6:45 I will saute up the onions and peppers and the steak for Steak Fajitas! I haven’t made that in a while, so I’m very excited.

I will be so interested to see who wins this Super Bowl. I’m rooting for the Raven’s. I would like to see Michael Oher and his teammates all win and get Super Bowl rings!

Do you party on Super Bowl Sunday?

I went this morning to the market in Brussels ! It was so cold because of the wind. I also started to cook, that means I took out a package from the freezer and put it in a pot. It’s fresh pasta with chicken, zucchinis and other vegetables. Very hard work, lol !
