The Punch Down

Some ideas for my next last minute Super Bowl shin-dig...

Wine with nachos? YES. It did work.

And for my next party...I'll be serving up wine with all the snacks!

Last Minute Superbowl Party. Woooo!

Mikey: "Hi Honey, Remember the Superbowl party we were going to go to? Well the guy having it had to cancel, so I said we could do it at our place! That's cool right? I was thinking Nacho Bar..."

Me: "Hmmmm. Nachos are cool. Yea - but I'm thinking I want a little something to go with the Chard in the fridge too. You know the bottle I was going to bring..."

Off to the computer I go.

Hot artichoke dip? Spinach dip? Obviously I like dip. Okay what else is there?

And then I found:

Crispy, Creamy Rock Shrimp with Sweet Chile Aioli and Apple Slaw

Yumnumnumnumnum!!!! Num yum num!

And much, much more thanks to the Epicurious.com feature: Chefs' Super Bowl Recipes

Not that you need too much of an excuse to make this delish party perfect snacks... I know we'll be busting out the rock shrimp on a regular basis.

Enjoy the food! (And the wine...and the beer...)
