 o
Super Bowl 1/2 Party

Posted by dcarch (My Page) on

Because of the snow storm, half of the guests backed out.

The ones who came each brought some thing.

I make a shrimps and scallops dish, and a mushroom/bean dip dish.

It was a fun evening, I won $100.00 more than enough to pay for food. :-)

Too bad the storm interfered with your party. Sounds like you were the big winner though. Congrats!!!

Corn should never be photographed on a mushy brown puddle.

It all looks good to me!

Didn't know we had 'photo police' here. :>)

Did you 'do' your fruit plates, too?

Glad you won! Those Saints are something, aren't they!

Nope, no photo police, a lot of photos have been commented on here, both positive and negative.

Actually, I was just thinking "SuperBowl", "football", "injuries", was that Peyton Manning who bled all over the shrimp?

Sorry, couldn't help it. (grin)

Jeez - and I thought I had shown restraint by NOT saying the beans needed a swirl of salsa to make it look bloody! LOLOLOL!

I also had a knee jerk reaction to the first picture. Probably has something to do with the fact that my son was just diagnosed over the weekend with ulcerative colitis.

Just hits too close to home this week, I guess.

Sorry, dcarch, I couldn't help myself, I got all "football excited", you know, and I was seriously cheering for the Saints, so I'm happy!

Actually, the scallops look good, I love 'em and don't make them often, they're darned expensive here. Is that sweet and sour sauce? I like sweet and sour with calimari, so I'd probably like it with scallops too.

"Posted by ann_t ------Too bad the storm interfered with your party. Sounds like you were the big winner though. Congrats!!! Ann"

Thanks Ann. It appears that whenever I plan a party, something happens. There was a four day blackout one time I planned two big parties. Good thing I have a generator.

"Posted by caliloo -------Corn should never be photographed on a mushy brown puddle. Alexa"

Haha! Sometimes my photos can get crony. I got some extra corn leftover from making the black bean corn dip. Didn’t want to throw them away.

"Posted by foodonastump -------OMG LLOL, Alexa! (The second L for "literally") I'll take that plate of shrimp and scallops though... "

Those went quickly. I was able to make a second batch right after.

Thanks, Rusty. Yes, I make a big platter of fruits and fruit sorbet. One couple was from New Orleans, we were all happy that the Saints won.

Annie, you are bloody funny! LOL

I did plan to make salsa with the beans, corn, and avocados. Unfortunately the avocados were not ripe enough.

Want a second opinion? Your son will be doing better soon. :-)

"Posted by beverlyal ------Oh Jo did you have to? LOL More food porn! Congratulations on the win."

Thanks. Almost enough money to take a trip to New Orleans for the parade.

"Posted by -----You are all too funny!! Are those tin foil mushrooms? Really?

Thanks. One guest brought some wings in aluminum foil. So I did some impromptu origami with the foil.

Sorry for what? I was LOL. The sauce was made with a lot of stuff, but the main ingredient was Sriracha and leftover cranberry sauce from the freezer.
