A little thing called football- Super Bowl XLV
A little thing called football is not so little in the Donato home.
Tomorrow we'll be hosting our annual Super Bowl Bash and cheering on our favorites. Decorated with colors of black, yellow and green (you pick your poison), a tablescape of food and beverages (you pick your poison) and house filled with friendship and family- it's said to be another EPIC gathering.
I like to keep my menu on a theme but that went out the window when I selfishly forgot about my family and friends and their dietary brackets; low-fat, low cholesterol, vegans, vegetarians, meat lovers and just plain eaters. So I threw out the idea of riding out a Latin menu and just took a slew of different items like vegan 7 layer, salads and charcuterie, couscous w/olives and roasted tomatoes, grilled meats and veggies of all kinds, skewers of chorizo and shrimp, vegetarian chili, guinness chocolate cake (thank you Nigella Lawson!) and refreshing fruit to appease our palates. At least I'm steering clear of the doritos, twinkies and chicken wings??

Are you ready for some Futbol!?
I'm going to South Africa.
I kid. I kid. But how incredibly awesome would it be if the Donato's could visit one of the world's loveliest coastal lines, and meet friendly folk? Plus, attend that little thing named the FIFA World Cup. Okay, it's not a little thing, it's an enormous thing, a sought after event.
Some of my earliest childhood memories are of me and my pops sitting on the couch, he with his ice cold bottle of beer, me with a bowl chips and salsa, watching the World Cup series.
Since then I've been watching games and 20 years later I'm taking the opportunity to watch it with my husband and hopefully interest my little one. I still have high hopes that one day I can bring these important men in my life; dad, husby and son, to attend a world cup event. One can dream right?
You've heard the stories, the craziness the world cup brings out of people, the parties, the sportsmanship, the unending boozes and fan loyalty. It can't get any better than that!
