Superbowl Sunday

I’ll be honest…I’m not into NFL Football. Sure, Peyton is cute. And funny. Drew is pretty sexy. (Okay, a LOT sexy.) Colt is the finest little Texan this side of, umm, Texas. But Superbowl 45 didn’t feature any of these gentlemen. Instead, it had that hairy lumberjack quarterback and that other team, who used to be good when Brett The Texter Favre ran the show. But now?

Snooze.

I do, however, love Superbowl Commercials. And I like the Halftime Show. Usually.

I should have known this year’s game was going to the pooper right from the get-go. If it wasn’t enough of a sign of things to come based on Deion Sanders pimp ensemble, I should have realized it when Christina Alligator completely mangled the National Anthem, or when I saw John Madden texting beside former President Bush. Whose idea was it to sit those two together? Insanity. Pure insanity.

Lucky for me, we had some excellent grub going on to keep me sane.

Jon had ribs on the smoker all day, as well as chicken legs marinating. And I took the night off from the kitchen and loaded up on DiGiorno Pizza, courtesy of Collective Bias.

I’m not much on frozen pizza. So I didn’t really have hopes for it. But even bad pizza is pretty good pizza, so, I took them up on their challenge to serve it during the game. An hour or so before kickoff (you know, when all of the Pre-Pregame shows were wrapping up the Pre-Pre-Pregame show and discussing the Pregame shows) I snuck off to Walmart to grab the DiGiorno Rising Crust Pizza.

Easy flavor choice for me – Spinach Mushroom Garlic. Think about that. Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic. Yum. What’s not to like? Upon opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised. The mushrooms were big and so fresh looking. Speaking of surprised…What the what was up with that Halftime Show? Half the time Fergie’s mic wasn’t on, and the other half of the time you just wished it wasn’t on. And those boxes? The light up boxes after the Slash appearance? I don’t get it. Yeah. Anyway…back to the pizza. Once it was baked, I was also pleasantly surprised with the results! Thick and cheesy – gooey – And really just. Plain. Good. Really!

Seven loved it. He’s three, you know. And he loved a spinach and mushroom pizza. Lucky for him, there’s a little leftover for tomorrow, and luckier still, it only costs $3.98 for a HUGE pizza. I’ll definitely pick one up again on a day when I don’t feel like cooking. Okay, on a day when I don’t feel like cooking but don’t actually cook. You know what I mean.

Now, I have pizza to eat tomorrow.

And hopefully, I’ll survive the nightmares brought on by The Black Eyed Peas. I got a feeeeeling that tonight’s gonna be a long night…that tonight’s gonna be a long, long night….
