SUPERBOWL - Are you in the middle of Superbowl fever? I remember the days BH (Before Hockey) when I actually paid attention to the teams that were going to play, I'd be at Superbowl parties, I'd be in Superbowl pools, hell back in the day I can say that a friend and I were known for our "Superbowl Dance" when our favorite team scored a touchdown. Now? Not so much into football. And all those rumors (is his foot really hurt or was that just a ploy for betting purposes???) I just ignore. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't go to a football party to scarf the food though.
WHO IS JOE BUCK? - I saw an ad in the Family Circle about Superbowl popcorn from "NHL Legends Joe Buck and Troy Aikman". Okay, I know Troy but I did have to look up to see who Joe Buck was. Well known maybe, but to put him in the legend category with Troy? I don't think so Tim. Anyway it seems these two have come up with some special flavored popcorn for you to enjoy during the super bowl. The new popcorn flavors are "Halftime Chili and Sour Cream" and "Dark Fudge Drizzlecorn with Praline Almonds". Dale and Thomas Popcorn Company will sell you a special "Football" box that includes 2-bags of Troys Chili popcorn, 2-bags of Joes Fudge popcorn, 4-bags of the companies other flavors of popcorn, a limited edition collectors glass bowl to serve the popcorn in and a few other trinkets and it all comes in a special football box. They start shipping these on the 24th for $42.00. And if you are really lucky, you might receive one of the packs that has a certificate for a signed Aikman football (with that Joe Buck guy on it too). For more information go here.
POTATOES INSTEAD OF CORN - Rather have potato chips at your bash instead of popcorn? Kettle Foods has a football five pack they are selling for $13.99. You get a 9-oz pack of one each of Backyard BBQ and Sour Cream Onion and Chive, and a 5-oz bag of one each of Buffalo Bleu, Cheddar Beer and Organic Lightly Salted. For more information on this football pack go here. I actually just ordered their Fire and Spice five pack so I'll have to let you know how those flavors taste!
No Superbowl hype for me. I am sure we will watch it but I really don't care who wins.

I watched the playoff games this past weekend. I do watch the 49ers. Still a loyal 49er fan and always will be. I also watch all the Shark games if it does not interfere with something else I want to watch. I switch back and forth when that happens. The Sharks are saving me money this month! (I put away $5 for every game they win.) Helped me at Xmas - got to buy more Xmas gifts than I would have.

I saw that football special on Dale & Thomas' website. Very tempting to order for the Superbowl. :)

i used to watch the 49ers back when i was married. don't know anyone who is into football anymore and as such, never get invited for super bowl parties (and super food).

My dear husband entered our 2 sons into a college football bowl game pool. The younger did well, but wes still oh, so himself. You know, come downstairs, check out the game (and his standing) and go back to finish the round of Rock Band with his friends. He watched a crucial game with another top contender, either of them could have won big $$. In the end, my boy won enough to buy a laptop, wireless printer and and x Box game. beautiful!

Peabody - If I watch the game, it's all about the commercials.
Jeanette - I got really quick service when I ordered my chips.
NotSoccerMom - Maybe we should have an "anti-Super Bowl" party one year and watch something else (but still have super food).
Louise - Way for your son to go Louise!
