The Day Usher Saved the Super Bowl Performance
I woke up around 9:30am on Sunday, not in anticipation of the Game, but because I’m getting older and waking up after 9:00am on a weekend makes me feel lazy. I conducted my normal morning routine which usually consists of sneezing, cursing, and eating egg whites. While my partner-in-crime decided to get a little extra beauty sleep, I proceeded to double check my fridge for the gloriousness that would be Super Bowl XLV.
Bread?
Check.
Ham?
Check.
Cheese?
Check.
More cheese?
Check.
Fries?
Check.
No but really, is there enough cheese?
Check.
I packed a cooler and three grocery bags full of our mountain of food to bring to the Super Bowl Party, and while I watched “Law and Order”, partner-in-crime made mini-cheese heads.
Go Pack Go!
Adorable.
After driving through an unusually warm afternoon in San Francisco, and realizing we had forgotten the Super Bowl Bingo cards, we finally arrived at our destination.
Let the games begin!
We made punch, the cheese heads were set out, and we watched Christina Aguilera fumble (see what I did there?) over the National Anthem. I’m probably in the minority here, but I don’t think her messing up a line or two is THAT bad. To be fair, she was clearly nervous, and it’s not like she stole a necklace, like a certain Miss Lindsay Lohan.
Finally, what felt like seven hours later, kickoff happened.
I thought the game was fantastic, and I was thrilled to see Green Bay win, mostly because I think Aaron Rodgers is a little champion who stepped up after Old Man Brett Favre finally realized he was too old to be playing football, but I was probably too caught up in the massive amount of cheese and dip to pay that much attention.
I do remember being surprised that Ben Roeth…burger was sacked not only once, but twice, which, if you can sack that beast of a man, you 100% deserve a Super Bowl ring.
At the end of the day, the Packers played the best, but kudos to Pittsburgh for trying.
That’s what I’m supposed to say, right? I want to say, “IN YOUR FAAAAACE, STEELERS!!!”, but I’m from San Francisco, so it just feels weird.
Let’s discuss the food.
Along with the mini-cheese heads that not a single person touched, our very good friend, and fellow AG Blogger, Megan, made a delicious cheese dip which included salsa and cream cheese. Pulled pork sliders were also concocted, along with a delicious homemade guacamole that I ran a train on.
I attempted to make a traditional Pittsburgh sandwich consisting of coleslaw, ham, cheese, and fries. As one who has various food sensitivities and hates the taste of meat, I have to trust the party goers in saying it was delicious. Even if it wasn’t, I made a freakin’ sandwich with fries in it. BAM!
What did you do for the Super Bowl this year?
