The Superbowl
The Meal:
The commercials were equally disappointing. The NFL had a stick up it's ass about the Janetit last year so only one commercial referenced it [go daddy dot com], and from what I heard it was supposed to get replayed later in the game but got yanked. There was a ridiculous local Menards commercial that seemed to get played fifty times. Did the dot com bust ruin the Superbowl commercial gala??? Damn.
The corned beef was Everett's home recipe, and the old guy told us how to cook it right. Simmering all day with pickling spices was The Way To Go. Everyone seemed to like the clam chowder, but it wasn't the clam chowder I was trying to make. It was too oniony and wasn't thick enough. I spent a great deal of time in Boston looking for the perfect bowl of chowder, and this was not it. It was the first time I ever made it, and I might have been ruined on it having to smell it cook all day. The chicken wings were a little burnt, but that comes from trying to grille in February in Minnesota. At least Robin promised that she won't make me grille again until it warms up. The chili cheese dip was the same as always, but that's sort of the point. It was especially fun to watch the slow burn of the guacamole affect SC. I didn't actually get a slice of the Boston cream pie, but I did sample the cream and it was yummy.
The post-Superbowl Simpsons was a bit of a let down. But American Dad came through. All in all it was Superbowl Sunday, what are ya gonna do...
- New England clam chowder
- Corned beef sandwiches
- Dipped in Hell chicken wings
- Chili cheese dip
- Fresh Guacamole with hand ground spices
- Veggie tray with spinach dip
- Crab and cream cheese dip platter
- Crabcakes
- Boston cream pie
- More...

My Superbowl supper consisted of tomato soup, and three minutes of listening to the TV in Spanish before giving up completely when I realized the commercials weren't in English either. I love Brian and Robin's Sunday dinners!
