However, I have married into a family, that while not mad about sports, does like to mark large sporting occassions like the Grey Cup (Canadian football for my fellow Americans) and/or the Superbowl with a little partying. If one must watch football, then this is the way to do it. Those who are interested can enjoy the game, albeit with a bit of background noise and the rest of us (that would be me), eat.
Of course, you can't watch sporting events with salad and grilled chicken breasts. I may not understand sports, but I do understand that much. Dips and cheese and chili are par for the course. Of course, when I saw what is apparently the internet sensation of this week, the bacon explosion, I was intrigued. Two pounds of Italian sausage wrapped in two pounds of bacon and smoked estimated at approximately 5,000 calories. There is something both so hideous and wonderful at the same about this, that I just don't know what to do with it.
It looks pretty gross, but I bet it tastes great. It's been on TV shows and newspapers and the website has gotten thousands of hits. My prediction is that we'll see it on restaurant menus before long. Perhaps not on fine dining ones, but certainly on the menus of restaurants such as Montana's or Chili's. But what this proves is this--health is a just a myth and we're simply going through the motions. The truth is, we'd give it all up for a really good bacon recipe.

I chose not to weigh in this morning like I usually do on Mondays because I didn't have a good week. I am bound and determined to stay on OP this week. Maybe I'll even try and play some football. Maybe not.

Just popping over from WB and wanted to leave a note. I keep a running blog (although laid up with an injury right now) and I am also on WW.
I totally agree..watching football is not right if you don't have the snacks to go along with it. That sausage/bacon roll is kinda like a train wreck... you want to look because it's just so awful but then again, you really don't want to because it's so awful. And yes, I'm sure I'll be having some at Chili's before you know it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Looking forward to reading more of yours.
Oh, man, I saw that bacon explosion all over TV last week and my mouth would just water and water...I'm sure one tiny slice wouldn't hurt, right?
Right?
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm so glad I came here for two reasons. First of all, I was literally laughing out loud at your letter to Angelina. And, secondly I can confess. While I didn't have this bacon-wrapped sausage, last week (in a local pub), I DID have DEEP-FRIED sausage. Egads! WHAT was I thinking!?!
