The weekend started off with a ridiculous blizzard, we got over a foot and a half of snow. Good thing we stocked up on supplies at the store on Friday or our Super Bowl feast might not have happened. That's Vinnie, in the insane amount of snow we got, how about that one piece though, how awesome is it?!
We have probably been thinking about what kind of a meal we would eat for the Super Bowl, for at least a month. Each Sunday of the football season is always a reason to have a feast, but the Super Bowl needed something epic. We have had some combination of spaghetti, chicken parm and fried cheese plus a cake for dessert for every Sunday for the past 21 or 22 weeks, however long the season lasted. So for the Super Bowl we just decided to combine them all plus add a bacon and mozzarella calzone. This meal consisted of what I will call the Five Food Groups of Football Eating, butter, pasta, fried food, bacon and a sweet. It was gluttony at its best and a great way to end a great season, plus the Saints won so I won 15 bucks on that too. Here's the menu, bowl of linguine, a piece of chicken parmesan, a piece of fried cheese half of a bacon and cheese calzone (Vinnie actually made the dough and it was really good), 3 pieces of buttered Italian bread for me, 4 for Vinnie and a generous piece of yellow cake with a chocolate buttercream with crushed butterfingers in it on the outside and a middle layer vanilla buttercream with even more butterfingers in it. If a king walked in the door and needed to eat, he would not even have been disappointed with the spread.
My mouth is watering!
