SUPER BOWL SUNDAY NOT JUST FOR FANS

On Super Bowl Sunday, fans will be glued to television sets in family rooms, sports bars, neighborhood diners, and movie theaters to watch the Patriots and the Giants go at it for the game of the season. Family and friends, male and female, young and old will get together for the annual gathering of competitive bickering and "my team is the best" talk. The buzz that's been going on will finally explode on the evening of Sunday, February 5^th.

But where does all this leave the non-fan? We...I mean They want to have fun, too. How can Super Bowl Sunday be just as fun and entertaining for the folks who, at the mention of Giants and New England, think only of fairy tale monsters and Pilgrims?

3-Team Cake for the Men

I happen to be one of those Non-Fans…well, not quite as bad as described above; I do know who the teams are. I’m more into the NBA (sorry football guys and gals) but I do enjoy the hubbub that goes on around this time. So, when the gridiron gathering is at my home and hubby Michael is host, my contribution usually involves football-ish decorations or quirky dishes to add party interest and satisfy my need to belong to the day.

Steelers Represented

Last year, the grand kids and I decided to represent Michael's team (Bears) as well as those of my two younger brothers (Pittsburgh & Tampa Bay). The cake is made from several cupcakes.

Since it was close to Valentine's Day, we decided to bring some Heart to the table for the Non-fans. There were heart-shaped sandwiches, cupcakes, and Teddi the Princess Bear too. 

We decided on a menu that morning and made a quick run to the grocery store. So you see, you don't have to do a lot to get into the spirit of things. Sunday, Michael will be hosting again and guess what my plans are; to put together some party food (I just love doing that), give Michael, his friends and Tipper the Cat the house along with my blessings. Then I'll grab up a bunch of the refreshments and head to my sister's house for the evening. Who knows, we may even check out the Half-time Show.
