Another FUN Super Bowl

We had a GREAT Super Bowl Sunday and Monday.  We put out a great spread of food featuring an 18#  Kentucky Country Ham from our Pal Goldie in Danville, KY.

Served with an antipasto with hard salami, cheese tortellini, fresh mozzarella, baby corn, black olives, artichoke hearts and hearts of palm. Balsamic Deviled Eggs, a Cheesy Sour-Cream based New Potato Salad, Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Meatballs, and for dessert a DECADENT bacon/walnut Fudge.

We had our annual Super Bowl Pool... Wendy won the money this year.  She and I indulged in Moscow Mules (my new favorite), Joe brought over a bottle of Jagermeister and had a couple of martinis.  Dom and Bubby stuck with their beer.

The party continued on Monday.  Bubs did some fishing.... caught some nice bass and threw 'em back in.  Had a fun little visit from Wendy's daughter Ashley and grandchild. Julie.

FUN TIMES!

Super Bowl 2016

We had big fun!  Our normal gang arrived Sunday afternoon and the fun lasted until almost 4am.

I had an 18# Country Ham, assorted breads, cheeses and mustards for sandwiches, loaded potato salad, bacon wrapped meatballs, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, bacon candy, balsamic deviled eggs and mini antipasto cups.

Everything was delicious!

And YES.  I realize that the Christmas decorations are still up.  We like 'em!

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, the whole gang was here.  Wendy, Bubby, Dennis, Cheryl and Chris.

Wendy, Bubby and Chris spent the night.

I baked our annual Country Ham (gift from pal Goldie in KY).  Also made Balsamic Vinegar Deviled Eggs, Garlic Deviled Eggs and my "loaded stuffed potato" Potato Salad with Mayo, Sour Cream, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Green Onions and Bacon.  Had a couple different breads and cheeses for the sandwiches.  (We got into the crispy skin before I took a picture...ab fab!)

Wendy brought over a Cheese Plate.  Cheryl brought over a bottle of Patron Cafe.  Chris brought over a Bavarian Cream King Cake.

Between the seven of us, we figured out how to do a Super Bowl Pool....we were like kindergartners!

As usual, we had a grand time!

A Fun Superbowl Weekend

We had a blast this weekend.  Saturday night, I cooked Crash Hot Potatoes and Speckled Trout Amandine, given to me from Cajun girlfriend Vickie.

I was torn between whether I wanted Denver or Seattle to win.  Peyton Manning is a local boy.  On the other hand, Seattle clobbered us a couple of times late in our season.... thus they earned my respect.

Shortly before the game, I chose SEATTLE.

I had a nice spread of food.  Dear friend, Goldie from Kentucky, sent me an 18 pound Country Ham.  This is an annual thing for us.  In return, I send her a Collins Street Fruitcake and a Paul's Pastry King Cake.

I made 2 different kinds of Deviled Eggs.... one with Balsamic Vinegar and Bacon. The other with ALOT of Garlic.  Both were yummy.

My potato salad was a take on a "loaded" baked potato.  I used yellow potatoes with the skin on, bacon, sour cream, green onions and sharp cheddar cheese.

Boiled up a pound of Colossal Shrimp which we never got around to.

Also had a couple different types of bread and cheeses.  My boys- Dom, Joe and Dennis were eating machines!

The boys did some target shooting.  We had fun in the Hot Tub.  Joe and I indulged in martinis over the weekend.  Pecan Pie martinis, as well as King Cake martinis....fun, fun, fun.
