Superbowl XLV

I'm not a huge football person, but I do like the Superbowl, mainly because I like potlucks and Superbowl parties have that element.  Sean and I celebrated this occasion with 2 Superbowl parties in Charlotte and had a really good time, but here's the highlights:

Buffalo Chicken Dip (my go-to bring-to-a-party dish)

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts that you boil

Ranch dressing

2-3 packs Cream Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce

Photo jacked from allrecipes.com

1.  Pull boiled chicken apart into little pieces (it's better pulled than chopper-ed)

2.  Put about half Ranch and half Buffalo sauce into the bowl of chicken pieces

3.  Keep pouring more, half and half, until there's a really good bit

4.  Put about 2 1/2 blocks of Cream Cheese in a casserole dish and warm until softened

5.  Spread Cream Cheese around the bottom and pour chicken mix on top

6.  Put Cheddar Cheese to your liking on top

7.  Heat for about 25 minutes at 350

Other highlights include an awesome white chocolate amaretto dip that another girl in our small group (Erin) made.  She said it's from a package and I have no photo, but it was delicious.  She also managed to roll her dip into a ball which I thought was impressive since I tried earlier in the day to do that with my chocolate chip cheese cake ball and ended up giving up and putting it in a bowl.  As well as this commercial lesson from Bridgestone on Karma:

And of course that the Packers won.  Sean tells me that's who we were pulling for.  And the half-time show too.  I thought it was really good.
