So, I don't know if I thought I liked football or if its just that the Super Bowl was in Arizona this year or what...but I found myself a little bit excited for the big game. I spent hours (okay not really HOURS) thinking about what we were going to eat and I imagined my little family snacking on food and sitting around to watch the game. But as we got home from church and I was preparing our dinner and snacks I remembered...I don't even like football. Benson, of course, loves it. I have gone to several football games with Benson and the whole time he is so into the game that I can't even talk to him...boring! In fact, one time in the early years of our marriage, Benson and I went to a football game and I was talking to him and he turns to me and says (in a not so nice voice) "you made me miss that snap!" I know you think I am exaggerating because you can't imagine Benson talking to me that way...but I tell you it was borderline yelling. AND I didn't know how to tell him that I didn't even know what he was talking about because I don't know what a snap is...(I now know because he has since explained to me)...but needless to say I am at the edge of my seat at every sporting event because all I want to do is talk (surprising I know) and Benson just wants to watch the game! Is there anyone else out there that doesn't really give a crap about football?
On a good note...I did make some really good food...here are my 2 favorite recipes of the night..
Sweet Pork (Costa Vida Style)
1 pork roast
garlic salt (to taste)
1 cup ketchup
1 can of coke
1 cup brown sugar
Cook roast and garlic salt in crock pot for 6-8 hours (or overnight). Shred pork and add additional ingredients. Cook on low for 2-3 hours. It was super yummy.
Fruit dip
1 8oz Cream cheese
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together and serve with fresh fruit.
So the game is still on...I have long lost interest and I am super full from all the good eating. So I guess I am happy with that.

Oh and I like watching football when it gets to an intense part, but otherwise I like to talk instead.
Benson yelled at you about football?! Hahahahahahahaha. Boys are so funny! You should have snarked back, "Yeah? Well you yellin at me like that made me lose my train of thought! Now we're even."
I'm glad you're bloggin!
Cute blog! The pork sounds super good. Thanks for the recipe.
I SOOOO do not like football.It is the least favorite sport of mine. maybe because the game is so dang long.
I hate football too! What is it about a bunch of big men tackling each other that is entertaining? For some reason I was interested in it this year too!
Thats funny I made BBQ beef and fruit dip too!
So, I am totally with you on the football thing. I always tell Ryan, if I could wish away anything in this world, it would be football, of course after world hunger and crime and war. I still talk to Ryan while he is watching his games... he is very good at tuning me out... I still talk, though. The sweet pork recipe looks yummy. I will have to try it.
