Superfoot XV(?): February 1, 2009

Normal 0 Normal 0


Normal 0 Yes we can... come together to watch a sporting event though nobody really cares about either team.

Yes we can... study and mock the expensive commercials, even in these tough financial times.

Yes we can... ignore the football entirely and watch "Sesame Street Old School" or the Puppy Bowl or something on another TV in an adjoining room. Or just socialize.

Yes we can... celebrate football AND our new president in the traditional means - through the sharing of food and drink.

Who: You
What: Superfoot XV* (a party to watch Superbowl XLIII)
When: Sunday, February 1, 5:00 p.m.
Where: 4148 Connecticut #2, bka The Onion House
How: Bring a dish/drink to share that somehow keeps in the inaugeral/Obama theme.
Huh?: You know, like an ethnic dish from Kenya, Hawaii, Indonesia, Kansas or Chicago. Or something based on a bad pun, like "Yes we can-noli," or "Oysters Barrack-afeller." Or something inspired by a hope/challenge for the new administration ("Hammas hummus," "I-can-only-afford-generic-beer-in-this-economy Dirt Cheep Beer"). Bring whatever you like, but be prepared to defend your selection.

 * Previous counts had put this at Superfoot XIII, but as I recall, the first one (which I, admittedly, missed), was my freshman year of college, which, if you can believe it, was 15 years ago, making this Superfoot XV. But I could be wrong. It's hard to count that high.

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and attempt to make a sweet potato pie. Mr. Obama claimed that was his favorite in a charming anecdote while on the campaign trail.

If I fail in that ambitious quest, I will bring a delightful snack: Salty Cheerio-bamas.

I call the Barackamole!

Hawaiians love Spam. My suggestion was for a Twinkie topped with ham and pineapple.

The sweet potato pie is up for grabs. I realized I don't have any of the things I would need to make it. No pie pan, no steamer, no food processor or mixer or even a blender. My kitchen appliances are limited to a wooden spoon and a pyrex bowl.

I will stick to my mysterious and delicious Salty Cheerio-bamas.

Nuts.  I ain't gonna make Superfoot.

So, here's my virtual contribution to the festivities:
