One of my favorite times of the year is the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Not because I follow football, though I do enjoy viewing a game or two. It is the fact that this is one time of year I can count on Tostidos brand Salsa con Queso to be on sale for around $2. Imagine my joy last night as Jonathan brought in the weekly circulars! I was preparing supper, so I had him go through the adverts to see who “won” with the lowest price for queso and then I would plan our weekly menu/grocery shopping around this location. You know what happened? Nobody wins. Everyone loses this week because queso is not less than $3 anywhere. It was all very disappointing. Some people want chocolate or decadent foods that can only be acquired by artisans who hand craft their specialty in a specific location. I’m a simple girl. I just want the queso and a good, crispy tortilla chip that can hold an adequate amount of said queso. Oh and a coca-cola classic (Mexican please, it tastes so much better). If there happens to be a bag of jelly bellies involved, you won’t find me complaining. Rereading this, I sound like I have the snacking habits of a first grader. Excellent! First graders always have energy! Also, please note, were there not a baby currently enjoying the warmth of my womb, I would include red wine and sushi to this list.
How about you? Do you have a favorite snack to enjoy while watching the big game? Any alternatives to queso that I should try? (Please do not suggest a store brand queso. I might cry.)
Sad day! I have to agree that the adds are *terrible* this week. Why do grocers only run sales on food items that I do not purchase? *Sigh* In leui(sp?) of pre-game snacking feel free to come to David’s concert on Sunday
This will sound terrible….but…I like to throw some chili and velveeta cheese in the crockpot…its terrible…but oh so good. It is kind of like eating sin.
Yum, queso and Coke is a delicious combo. I love to eat 7 layer dip and quesadillas during the Super Bowl. But I also have to agree with Erik, Velveeta might be the fix you need!
