Superbowl is Over, Can We Move On Now?

    So that happened.

    The Super-bowl that is. Giants won and the commercials played. I played on my phone and ate too many wings. It came and it went and I am the same. If I was completely honest I would say that I kind of hate the Super-bowl. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate football, I enjoy watching a few games every year and I route for my hometown team when a big game comes on. The Super-bowl is different. It's too forced. Its pretty much become a new American holiday where we all celebrate football and commercials. I feel forced to watch this three hour game and spend most of my Sunday watching two teams play that I don't even really care about. Next thing you know my Sunday is over and I feel like its back to work on Monday again. I'm seriously considering not participating in this game day thing anymore. Why not use that day to go do things that would normally require standing in line. I bet you would be done much quicker. Imagine what the Apple store is like.

    The one good thing about the Super bowl is the food. Although much of it is junk food that we low carb folk need to stay away from, it it the one day where we can gorge ourselves on chicken wings and meatballs and not feel like we are being judged. That I like. That I did yesterday. Today I do feel a little bit like I have a wing hangover, but it could be so much worse.



Heres some of the lower carb football snacks that could be found at our place yesterday.

Wings (Soy ginger and Carolina BBQ)
Lil Smokies in BBQ sauce
Peanuts
Almonds
Cream Cheese in Salami wraps
& Veggies

You said it! I follow football to about the same extent you do.

Your snack list looks delicious, but you're right: time to move on.

Valentine's coming up. Got chocolate? :D

Frugal Jen,

I'm glad I am not alone in this. Let's start the revolution!

In regards to V-day, no chocolate yet. Hoping someone likes me enough to hook me up.

Just FYI - I've found a really REALLY good chocolate bar, and it's fairly low in carbs. It's the Lindt Excellence 90% Cocoa Supreme Dark - a big bar that has a surprisingly satisfying mouth-feel and taste. I get it at Woodman's, but I think most grocery stores carry it.
