Super Fun Bowl Party

We hosted a little party for SuperBowl XLIII. We had a few friends over: John A. and David & Gina H. & their kids. We had some great food: crab-layer dip, Lil' smokies, fruit & creamy dip, and chips and salsa and cheesy dip. And we had a little contest: when everyone arrived, I asked them what team they thought would win: the Arizona Cardinals or the Pittsburg Steelers, and had them predict the score. (note: I thought the contest would make the football game more fun since neither I, John, Gina, or David are really into football!!)Some of the commercials were hilarious, like: the Budweiser one where the Clydesdale fetches a bigger stick than the dog, or the Coca-Cola one where the bugs took the Coke bottle from the sleeping picnicker, or the Grease Monkey one. (note: John used to think Grease Monkey was a restaurant. That's maybe why I remember that commercial as being so funny!) The half-time entertainment of Bruce Springstein was a little disappointing; I love his music, but I think his prime has past. The final score of the game was: Steelers, 27 and Cardinals, 23.
Jonah won the "Super-sized-Bowl" of No Bake Cookies for his predicted score of 24-21, which was the closest to the actual score. John won a "Symphony" bar as a consolation prize for his predicted score of 36-46 , the furthest from the final score. We had a great evening together...but then, Good Food plus Good Friends (and a little Football) always equals Fun!!!
