Superbowl Weekend


Well the weekend started out celebrating this lovely lady, Alexandra, for her birthday. A great way for us to get pumped up for our niners playing on Sunday. We went to Dear Mom. It's a great bar in the mission, does an awesome $8 special of a tall boy PBR and a shot of Four Roses Bourbon. It also has delicious food. I ended up having a siracha buffalo chicken sandwich.  It just started off my weekend of healthy eating. It's a great bar for big groups, lots of open space!
Then Saturday I headed on over to east bay to hang out with my friends Megan and Kile. They've got an awesome little spot over in Berkeley. We ended up making some home made caramel sauce, surprisingly easy, and then dipping apples into it and pouring it on ice cream. Oh, and this was after eating a giant burrito.
Then came Sunday. An epic day of eating and drinking. Starting at 9:30 am, I met up with a couple of friends and started cooking these delicious critters.
We had forty pounds of craw fish! Along with three homemade pizzas, hush puppies, twice baked potato skins, spare ribs, buffalo dip, guacamole, multiple flavors of chips, cupcakes and I'm sure I am leaving out some things. And that was just food.
We also had multiple coolers of beer. and "niners punch" (that was deadly) and plenty of props to go around. 
For those of you who watched the game, you know we had a rough first half. So of course during halftime (after Beyonce) shotgunning beers was the only way to lift our spirits and get ready for the rest of the game.
Then the first play of the second half had the ravens scoring again, so we had to rally and wear turbans on our heads. Anything we could do to help. It seemed like it was working, we started making a comeback, but unfortunately it just wasn't enough.
So we drowned our sorrows. And this was the aftermath. Monday was a day of recovery.  I'm pretty sure the whole city was hungover. But we are picking ourselves back up and getting pumped for baseball season to start again! Go Giants!
