It was another different kind of Superbowl day, a little like 2010, when I did something non-Superbowl related all day – in 2010, Willy Street Board Retreat; this year cooking in the church basement for slow food UW. I also didn’t care much about the teams involved, unlike last year where it was my home town vs. my hometown. In fact, I opted to watch Downton Abbey in realtime, instead of time-shifted, so I left Mark and our exchange student watching the Superbowl, and went downstairs to PBS. Didn’t see Madonna at halftime – Mark said she was good, but a little boring – and the main commercial I remember is the Seinfeld “damn you, Leno” one for the new Acura NSX.
When I got back from cooking locally sourced vegetarian food for slow food, I made chipotle sliders – the recipe was from some star chef – Bobby Flay, maybe? (yup) – from the People mag I bought in the Denver airport, on the way home from Dallas, because it had Johnny Depp on the cover – devilled eggs, and baked Brie.
- Baked Brie - tomato jam for filling
- Baked Brie
- Beef slider with cheddar & chipotle mayo
- Devilled eggs - the filling was a little runny, but the leftovers were good on buttered bread with slow-roasted tomatoes next day
