Sunday's Coming

Super Bowl XLIV is tomorrow, 6:30 PM ET! Booha!

I'm cheering for the lesser of two evils, which in my world means rooting for the Colts. I was really not impressed by the sportsmanship of the Saints in their match-up with the Vikings. Go get'em! Unleash Peyton Manning and let's get this thing started.

Game day is the opportunity for unrestricted dietary mayhem in the Jephnol household! I went off the reservation a wee bit this morning dining out with some friends, but the serious celebration begins tomorrow afternoon. I'm making dangerous nachos for the early afternoon and during the game we'll be having toasted sausage subs with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, sauteed shiitake mushrooms and horseradish sauce. And of course beer. Mmmm, beer....

Tonight I got back on course after this mornings culinary hiccup. Check this pre-debauchery health food repast:

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon all fruit Blue Berry jam
1 tablespoon wheat germ
2 slices whole grain wheat toast
1 medium sized navel orange
1 cup raw baby spinach
1/2 cup baby carrots
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 orange bell pepper
1 cup raw green beans

Okay, that sounds like something a horse would eat, but my body is loving this food. And the yogurt mixed with the wheat germ and jam rocks. Anyway, it's like I said, Sunday's coming. It looks like a real match-up between the Colts and the Saints and I expect I'll get all my exercise from jumping up and down while I'm screaming at the TV. Let's get it on!
