A football is the brown ball with the pointy ends, right?
Confession time: I know nothing about football. Less than nothing. However. Lest you think I sit and read Shakespeare sonnets in a corner while the rest of the country is high-fiving and whoop-whooping in front of a flatscreen on one particular winter Sunday every year, read on frugal football fans.
I am a once-a-year football fan. OK, truthfully, it’s not the game I enjoy. I like the rubbing shoulders with friends and loved ones. I like being an unashamed couch potato for a whole day. I like the smorgasbord of decadent foods. I like the stress-relieving outbursts of cheering and booing intermittently. So for one day once a year I am an uber-obnoxious football fan.
And I love make-your-own buffets for large festive gatherings. No whining about what is on your plate, because YOU put it there.
Anne and I had the joy of being together at my home for just one day recently, and can you guess how we spent that day? Cooking new culinary creations, of course! Isn’t that how every mom loves to spend a too-rare day with her daughter?
We decided to go for chili and fixin’s this year with a twist: cornbread waffles to ladle the chili onto. Let me assure you all, chili has just met its soul mate: cornbread waffles!
Of course, we used Anne’s Ultimate Veggie Chili, which made it to the top 2 of the hundreds submitted for the Food Network’s Ultimate Recipe Showdown.
My son’s girlfriend Sarah, who has been eating at my house every week for several years proclaimed: “This is the best thing I ever ate!” Do you think they’ll put her on the show?
