As I said, random and ocassional

Well, it has indeed been a while since I've written anything. I've found myself busy with lots of little projects that have always ended up taking more time than I had counted on. Isn't that the way of things?

This afternoon will be spent at a Super Bowl party. I'm not a football fan, but I find it hard to pass up an opportunity to get together with friends. Invariably, there are always some in the group who feel as I do and don't care about the sporting event being watched, so I'm not alone in my feelings. The afternoon will no doubt be spent grazing at a table full of wonderful munchies contributed by the group. I've prepared barbequed meatballs and a sizable container of Caramel Chex. I'll go to the gathering with copies of both recipies. In fact, I was told at another get together that if I was planning to come to the Super Bowl party, I had better bring the Caramel Chex. I quietly suspect that entry might be denied if I don't have the goods in hand.

I enjoy sharing the recipies. It seems like the decent thing to do if someone ooohs and ahhhhs over something you've brought. I do, however, get a little ticked off at people who don't share the exact recipie. There are always people who like me, like to share recipes but they don't share the exact recipie. They leave out an ingredient. Or two. Come on gang, if you've gone to the trouble to write down the ingredients and the instructions, share the WHOLE recipie. Leaving out ingredients changes the taste. It's not the same.

OK. Enough about recipies and the sharing of same.

I'll go to the Super Bowl party and I might even watch some of the game. I spent enough years in the marching band in high school and college that my life will not suffer if I never see another football game. Baseball, however, is another story.

If you absolutely LIVE for the Super Bowl, then by all means, enjoy the day. If this is just another day for you, enjoy your day as well. Watch a movie. Read a book. Spend time with family or friends or both.
