A lot can happen in a week. Yesterday most had the day off for Martin
Luther King Jr. Day and today we have the new Presidential Elect
Obama's Inauguration. Whether you voted for him, or not, we're hoping his
passion and attitude will get something done in the upcoming days, weeks and
months ahead!!!
What else is new? Well, Super Bowl XLIII is
Sunday Feb 1st. We know that will be like Christmas to some, and just another
day for others. For me and my team at Legacy Lending we know we're all talking
at least a little about the game.... and commercials!!!
So with the game coming up, you need to be prepared, even if you're not a
huge sports fan. So often, I'm running out the door Saturday evening to buy
chips, drinks, and something to snack on for myself and/or a few buddies that
end up showing up at my place. Have you seen the food shelves the day before the
"big game"??? It's like Louisiana during a hurricane. So I wanted to remind you
that you should plan ahead and pick up some goodies this weekend and not wait
till the last min.
Common snacks can be as simple as Doritos's and pop...... to more elaborate
items like Potato skins with Sour cream, Pig's in the blanket, Spinach dip bowls
or Stinky Breath Pretzel mix.
Also, one of my favorite recipes I've passed onto my kids is the Potato Skins
I mentioned above. Here is a good recipe that I use:
Quick Potato
Skins
~About a dozen small potatoes, washed and
scrubbed
~Shredded cheddar cheese
~A half-package of bacon
Take the bacon and throw it into a pan over medium heat. Cooking the heck out
of that bacon until its extra tasty crispy. Take all of those potatoes, slap
them down on a glass plate and microwave them. Cooking a dozen potatoes like
that will take you 20 minutes, at least, so in the meantime, brush up on your
playbook. Take them out and cut them in ?. Arrange the potatoes on the baking
dish and place in a 500 degree oven for 10 minutes to crisp 'em up. Top them
with crumbled bacon and pressure the offensive line with deep cheese coverage.
Pray for a turnover, run down the clock when you get the ball back and remove
from the oven when the cheese goes golden brown. Touchdown baby!!!
It's that simple!
