Happy Super Bowl

I'm a day late, but so be it.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Super Bowl last night. Quite the game. We had no real emotional stake in it, but we were pulling for the Cardinals, since they were the underdogs.



Though late, I have a couple Super Bowl links for you anyway.



******************************

First, what has been called "the greatest Super Bowl snack ever." I actually can't link you to it, because the rest of the site is a little tasteless, but I can cut and paste this for you, anyway:







Look close and you'll see these ingredients, as described from the website I found it on:

The Field:
1 Pound of Guacamole
15 Oz. Queso Dip For The Steelers End Zone
15 Oz. Salsa For The Cardinals End Zone
2 Oz. Sour Cream for the Field Lines

The Players:
15 Vienna Sausages
Helmets - 3 Oz. Sharp Cheddar Cheese

The Goal Posts:
1 Slim Jim for Each Goal Post
1 Oz. Monterey Jack Cheddar To Anchor (each)

The Stands:
58 Twinkies
1 Pound of Bacon
1 Bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos
1 Bag of Cheetos
1 Bag of Corn Tortilla Chips
1 Bag of Chex Mix

The Blimp:
20 Oz. Football-Shaped Summer Sausage (optional) (on second thought, no, this isn't optional. Go buy one.)

TOTAL CALORIES: 24,375
TOTAL GRAMS OF FAT: 1,285
TOTAL COST: $86.47
TOTAL DELICIOUSNESS: 1 Billion trillion, dude. One billion trillion.



I won't even bother cutting and pasting the instructions for putting it together. If you're that motivated, you'll track them down yourselves and search for this thing on your own. But it looks awesome.



How awesome? One billion trillion, dude.


*************************


Speaking of awesome, this comes from no less a reputable source than the New York Times. All the news that's fit to print -- and all the bacon that' s good to eat!


This recipe is called the Bacon Explosion -- bacon wrapped in suasage, wrapped in woven bacon.





That's a Super Bowl snack for you right there.

The article that I linked is fascinating. The Bacon Explosion has the ability to unite this country, given who is celebrating it.


(And if you truly love bacon so much that you read the article, then you will no doubt appreciate these Bacon Haiku poems.)

I love that the photo shows it sliced and served on a biscuit. Looks almost as good as that burger made with two grilled cheese sandwhiches.....
