Super Bowl Party

Just curious, as usual. What are your plans for the game?
I'm getting together with friends I have known for 30 years. It will be a day of poker and food. I'm in charge of the sandwich tray, enough to feed 25 people. I think I am also going to make a batch of soup. 

Let me hear your plans.
Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Just the family. Going to make a pulled pork and grab some apps to throw in the oven. Then I have halftime to clean up - something to do while some terrible music is playing.

    I will take your word that the music will be horrible. I have no clue who Kendrick Lamar is.

    Just the family of 4. Our tradition is wings. Tons of wings. Usually three kinds. The one day a year my wife says nothing about bad food choices. Maybe some subs, nachos, freezer apps (fried broccoli, pigs in a blanket etc.), or queso dip. Jalapeno poppers if it is not too cold to fire up the grill. I usually get motivated around 9pm Saturday.

    Very nice!!
    For years my bride and I did the same thing. Just the 2 of us and a bunch of homemade appetizers.

    Wife and I are going to a party hosted by an Eagles fan.  He brings in all the authentic ingredients for Philly steak sandwiches!

    Kendrick Lamar is one of the leading purveyors of hip hop.  I am not a fan of present-day rap music but he is actually really good!

    I’m making Philly roast pork sandwiches. The best sandwich anywhere.

    .I do the Polar Bear Plunge at 130. This is when we all go jump in the Atlantic for charity. I Start around 10 or so, get a spot, drink some moonshine then do a flip in the water.  We attract thousands every year, my groups varies from 4 to 20.

    Then i will rest and get ready for a private party where I have a box and root for numbers and hope to hit a quarter, lol.

    As of today, I still haven't purchased any squares. I am not happy about this. My friends and I will have some strip cards going for all 4 quarters, plus I will be playing poker all day. I guess that's enough gambling. Fuck those squares! Ha

    As do I. But since I am not working, I don't have those squares available. I don't do the bar scene, so no squares there.
    Oh well.

    Going to a friend's. They host everything - football Sundays, holidays, you name it.

    I have to bring fresh-baked donut holes (powdered jelly and glazed) from a local bakery. They're fantastic. The place is only open 3 days a week, cash only. I've gotten there at 630 for a 7AM opening and I've been 10th in line. The glazed usually sell out by 9, and they don't make anymore for the day. And people at the party eat them before the main courses lol.

    I totally forgot about boxes. I usually do big ones - $250 and up. My local deli had a $100, took #40, the number of the building where I grew up. I usually take 5 and 17.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.
