So who is working on their Super Bowl menus? Y'all know me, I started working on mine yesterday. Going to out do my menu from last year. Thinking we are going with a Cajun/Creole/Looziana themed menu. That, along with some cold Lone Star.

Can't wait.

When is the Super Bowl? I know when the MILL All-Star Game is, especially since it'll be in Denver again.

I'm not that big a football fan but I do look forward to the game each year. It's a good time to hang with family and friends, and to enjoy some food and a good time. Every year I turn it on and lay out a good spread. Sort of like Thanksgiving but not anywhere near as formal, if that makes sense.

Thats why I like the bowl Scott, just like turkey day only not as formal...I dont watch football much, or any sport really. I'll play anything, but watching....not for me. I dont mind going to games, and love seeing the Mariners play (of course) but thats the rush of the crowd, the music, the atmosphere. Hard to get that with the tv.

Totally makes sense Scott. That's pretty much the only reason I go to Super Bowl parties - hang with friends, chow down, etc.

I enjoy the friend thing as well. It is an absolute riot with all of them.. If I was closer to you Scott, The food would become more of an issue....Everytime you start typing away about something you are going to Barbaque, I end up running out to Lazybones smoke house for lunch. DETROITS BEST BBQ

So, the current damage list on the Passat includes this:

<a href="http://s678.photobucket.com/albums/vv148/papadelogan/Passat%20TDI/?action=view&current=IMG_2579.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv148/papadelogan/Passat%20TDI/IMG_2579.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Nice, huh? Yeah, and niether of the driver's doors open from the outside....

Off to get good tires put on her now. I bought 4 studded snow tires with 95% tread for $100 and they are going on. Anyone interested in a 45mpg diesel Passat that's cosmetically ugly but mechanically sound, let me know.
