sounds fantastic, brie and apples is a deadly combo - normally for the super bowl we either make a big pot of beef stew, chicken ala king on mounds of tea biscuits, or make endless bacon-cheese melts but this year my dad wanted to mix things up a bit

the super bowl is at the perfect time of the year to have something rich so it's a time where getting bougie seems against the point - there's all year to be a fancy daniel, there should be a time to break out the pabst and go full kids' meal once in a while

No, no. Superbowl is where I go bougie AF. I enjoy the irony.

Brie and pears is even better but I didn't plan ahead (because I enjoy not planning ahead) and your pears need to be four or five days ripe. Often I'll go champagne as well - but the wife and mother-in-law were busy so it was me and the father-in-law and he barely tolerates Amstel.

The kid, meanwhile, pretty much had brie and apples from 3pm until bedtime. I'm obnoxiously proud of the fact that my daughter knew five different kinds of cheese before she was four.

Her upbringing has been nothing like mine.

minibl00 is a lucky girl :) i was probably half made of cheese as a kid too, my parents kept me supplied with goat cheese and other soft stuff to spread on sandwiches n all that

if a kid's gonna be spoiled with anything it should be tasty food in my opinion, starting out with a wide diet makes cooking hecka more interesting to kids - i loved cooking stuff with my mom and i think that's why i like to cook so much now

i like the idea of a fancy-dress-and-wine super bowl party - i'll keep that in my head for next year.

A Superbowl Formal would be fucking hilarious

My friends started their own Super Bowl about a decade ago, I guess. The premise is that, because everyone - even the Bad Guys - are watching the Superbowl, superheroes can take the day off ... and go bowling.

The Super. Bowl.

So everyone shows up as their own made-up superhero, in their own superhero costumes, and they spend the day bowling.

I love Amstel and am saddened that it is no longer everywhere.

I firmly believe that if everyone hadn't piled so hard into IPA-ALL-THE-THINGS we might not be looking at abominations like "Bud Light Seltzer."
