This is REALLY how I view the Super Bowl every year. I don't hate football, but I do love eating ridiculous foods that I only feel justified in making a few times a year, as well as watching funny commercials. I am more than willing to put up with the football part of the event to reap the joy of these two SUPER bonuses.
Each year I look forward to finding out who is in the Super Bowl, though I don't watch any other games, JUST so I can figure out what kind of food I will get to make (as I make my spread match the cities of the playing teams). This year it is pizza dip (as well as a few other New Yorkish Dips from the same site) and Lobster Rolls (made with 2 sad little lobster tails 'cause they were on sale and we needed to budget for the month) and Shrimp Skewers.
And now I am going to finish cooking it all and then eat it, while watching commercials to see which company wins this year.
I was looking through the channel guide last night and I came across a show called Lobster Wars. This reminded me of another show I've never watched called Whale Wars. I am not entirely sure what either of these shows are truly about, but this is kinda how I imagine them:
Upon researching both shows, they seem to be not quite this exciting.
