Super Bowl champs in a foreign city...

Lefty wanted to help Daryl cheer by sharing a chicken wing...
 Well... The Super Bowl this year was pretty exciting for us. I mean, the entire Pacific Northwest is a Seahawk meat-lot... so we are pretty much surrounded. There is an errant non-Seahawk fan here and there, but it is a pretty tight crowd up here.  After the Seahawks so rudely kicked the Cowboys butts when they were here in the fall of 2012, we decided we weren't really Seahawk fans (it wouldn't have been so bad to lose, but the fans were seriously derogatory and downright crude).  But, living in this area, it was hard to not catch a bit of the fever.  So, ultimately, it was fairly fun and satisfying to watch them win the Super Bowl this evening.  The best part was that from the comfort of our own home, we didn't have to deal with the obnoxious fans!

Connor and Daryl with brews, spicy wings, and crudites for starters.
Ample slatherings of shwarma sauce, tzatziki, hummus, and siracha!  So delicious with soft pita bread, yellow rice, and veggies.
Seattle is known for its coffee... and apple pie is always right!
We always enjoy preparing Super Bowl food that represents the two cities.  For Seattle, we chose lattes and a modified apple slab pie.  For Denver, it was Chicken Shawarma and the fixin's.  (Connor lived in Denver for a period of time... his favorite place to eat was Jerusalems, so we went with his favorite dish.) Of course our lone party friend (by choice of course!), Daryl, accepted an invitation to join us. 
The invitation dominating my brain space of late...
Can't wait... Are you coming?? Puh-lease say yes! xox

  1. Aww what a nice little mini-party! Looks like fun and that food sounds sooo good, especially the pie! I've been having good old fashioned pie cravings, but I am too lazy to make one.

    Love those invitations!! So pretty... Thank you for doing all the addresses by hand, you know I'm a sucker for that personal touch. They turned out beautifully. :) I can't wait to see you, but wish Uncle Buddy was coming too!
