Superbowl Sunday randoms

[jwinct]

Good morning, ladies! How's everyone doing today?

Anyone have any fun Superbowl plans? I'm guessing they don't televise it in Europe, but what about in Canada?

This is the first year, in a long time, we haven't invited people over to watch it. We also do, no matter which teams are playing. DH asked me to make pulled pork, so I'm going to be slow cooking a pork butt, so we're going to have a TON of pulled pork. He also wants to make spinach & artichoke dip. I'm thinking of maybe inviting my brother and SIL and my parents over to help eat this stuff. Part of me wants to, but the other part of me is kind of looking forward to a low-key evening, just watching it with DH (and not have to make excuses as to why I'm not drinking). But I'm going to have 5 pounds of pulled pork leftover. LOL

jwinct, that sounds delicious, both the pulled pork as well as the dip. Hope however the evening goes for you, you get to enjoy it! Hopefully - if you do invite folks over - everyone watches the game and not what you're drinking.

No plans here. Gonna get DH into bed after I pick him up from the airport. He caught a cold while in Africa, so he's requested soup & rest. I'll probably keeping cleaning up around the house, do some laundry, and take a proper shower now that the hot water is working in our renovated bathroom. We had hot water in the shower in our master bath, but that is the smallest shower in existence and uncomfortable. (2 ft by 2 ft)

jwinct, send me some pulled pork! That sounds amazing.

We are going out after DS' first nap to get his hair cut and pick up some things for the superbowl. We will probably watch it at my parents house next door. Other than that, nothing exciting. Probably some more cleaning or folding the never ending laundry pile in the basement.

jwinct when we make that much for just us, we do a pork pizza and a few other dishes and also freeze the left overs. You can freeze in smaller portions so you can have enough for a few sandwiches and not throw a bunch out.

That all sounds delicious though!

Good thinking! I didn't even think to freeze it. And pork pizza sounds delicious. Thanks!

We decided not to invite anyone over. We're going to pig out by ourselves. And my brother & SIL would be really suspicious if I wasn't drinking. We are drinking buddies.

I seriously cannot wait to spill the beans to our families. I'm dying to see their reactions. April cannot come soon enough!

jwinct, also try pulled pork buns if you are into baking bread. I made bao the other week with leftovers from black pepper pulled pork. I steamed them, but you could also use pre-made dough and bake them in the oven - just stuff 'em, egg wash the top and sprinkle with sesame.

They do broadcast the Super Bowl in Canada, but we only get to see boring Canadian commercials

We're not into it, but we are going to my in laws to play cards and have dinner.

We're also going to tell them we're KU it's early and I'm still nervous about my first beta being so low (19) but we want to enjoy every day of this pregnancy. This took a long time to get here and they know we've been trying for a long time

Tomorrow is beta #2 and first day at my new job

Oh wow, that's a lot of excitement! Have fun telling your ILs and good luck with your first day and your beta draw. Fx.

[caer]

crimpgirl - I hope telling the ILs goes well! Sending you good vibes for a great beta result tomorrow.

We're on our way to our mini vacation for DH's 40th birthday. I'm sad about spending a few nights away from DS but I know it will be good for us to get away by ourselves.

[WittyLittle]

They show it here but starting at 11pm waaaaay past bedtim nomnom about the dip and the pulled pork!!!
I've had a killer headache all day and feeling nauseous because of it. not being able to take ibuprofen seriously sucks!!!

Success for tomorrow crimpgirl on both accounts!
adouces06 how did the haircut go? New kid? I hardly recognised DS after his!
macaronmama I hope your H feels better soon! My dad often gets nasty colds during his Africa trips.

[mamagerman]

We are just bumming at home today. I am craving anything BBQ so meatballs and mini weenies for dinner

[macaronmama]

WittyLittle - Hope you feel better soon. Headaches are awful in general let alone on top of nausea. Thanks for the well wishes, I'm sure its just the stress of traveling that is aggravating his symptoms. He'll be okay after some good rest.

[adouces06]

WittyLittle they didn't cut it as short as I would have liked, just basically got rid of his rat tail haha. He doesn't have much hair to begin with, the back was just getting a bit out of control. After seeing her do it, I realized it is probably something I could have done lol

So when are we going to start a "roster" thread? I can take my best stab at creating a Google Doc (can't be that hard??) Thoughts? Should we wait a bit longer for more people, or just start it up now?

I think we could start now, if adding to it isn't difficult? I also think it would be nice to start a sticky for our angel- kmfx that there will be no more Angels.

I'll try and borrow Sept'16s formatting. It seems to work well? And yes, FX we have no more angels.

I will not kill my in-laws. I will not kill my in-laws. I will not kill my in-laws.

[macaronmama]

Sending fortifying thoughts, league2b3!

Hahaha I'll have to update tomorrow. They leave while I'm at work.

My Super Bowl appetizer binge was delicious, but I have horrible reflex now. I'm also tempted to call it a night and head to bed now (9:15pm). So sleepy.
