Well, we can't say they didn't try. The Steeler's, although intimidating in their black and gold jerseys, weren't able to pull through in Super Bowl XLV against the Green Bay Packers. I have to honestly say, I didn't follow my usual football preparation routine that day. So that may have had something to do with their loss. But never the less, there is always next year.
To prepare our stomachs, however, for the big game, I made cut out sugar cookies. But not just any cut out sugar cookie... football cut out sugar cookies. They were awesome! Minus the color issue. I couldn't get the frosting to become completely black! It just wouldn't happen. Brian says they looked like "Raven purple." A disgrace if I do say so myself. But it's not about the look right? It's all about the taste? Regardless, they were a great way to end the our stuffing of faces.
You should have seen the spread we had. It was unreal. For four people you would have thought we were feeding 10! We had a HUGE bowl of buffalo chicken dip compliments of Katie, pepperoni rolls compliments of Ed, a veggie tray with 2 different types of humus along with a dip mix, pretzels, crackers and tortilla chips compliments of Brian, and homemade meatballs for meatball subs compliments of B squared (I'm going to include myself on the meatballs because it was my idea, but Brian executed it because I wasn't feeling well.). You should have seen the table. It was ridiculously full; and everything tasted really, really good.
I would have to say that the spread would have been all that much sweeter had the Steeler's pulled through, but our stomachs were happy, so I guess that is really all that counts. The endless stand-up sit-down to grab yet another spoonful of buffalo chicken dip was tiring but well worth it. All-in-all a great meal was had with friends, enjoying a semi-good game of football.
(Watch your back Packers. There's always next year!)
