WHAT TO EAT AND DRINK BEFORE AND DURING THE SUPER BOWL

I usually turn spiritual on Sundays.  However, next week is the Super Bowl, and my primary interest is not in the game itself, but the ads and food.  Takes a lot planning for the latter, so I alert you today on items you will need to purchase to make the perfect cocktail symbolic of that date and find the ingredients for the appropriate meal.

Clearly, one iconic order is the Philly Cheesesteak.  I'm not sure, though, if I want to invest in Cheese Whiz.  Another unique one at Lincoln Financial Field is something called The Quick and Carmichael, a mega sandwich combination of pulled pork, pulled chicken and slaw...on a potato roll.  Potato roll?  Goose IPA appears to be a particularly favorite beer.  Costs $15 for 16 ounces.

However, I don't like the Eagles and will root for Kansas City, which plays in Arrowhead Stadium.  Among the popular favorites are:

  • Chicken fingers and cauliflower wings.  I don't think those fingers are like in a Chinese restaurant, and the wings are not cauliflower.
  • BBQ brisket waffle sandwich.
  • Cow Town burgers.
  • Gridiron nacho grande (right).
  • Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwich, which has gruyere, prosciutto, turkey and 100% maple syrup.
  • Beer, of course, but also margarita, while the official mixed drink is 360 Showtime:
    • 2 oz bing cherry flavored vodka
    • limeade
    • lemon-lime soda
    • grenadine
  • Maybe best of all might be their Prime Kansas City Strip Steak.  This is called New York steak anywhere else.
So I went out and bought the following:
Today, however, I noticed that Super Bowl LVII will be played at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with kick-off at 6:30PM ET, which will be 1:30PM in Hawaii.  I see being served there:
  • 4th and Long:  22-inch hot dog with condiments.
  • A variety of Mexican foods.
With all that input, something Mexican, Kansas City Strip Steak, 360 Showtime and beer could well be featured in my tailgate next week.   The next Super Bowl will be held on 11 February 2024 at Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, Nevada.  Incidentally:
  • I read where Koloa Rum Company, from the island of Kauai, was named the Official Ultra-Premium Rum of the Las Vegas Raiders.  Featured are a Rum Punch with Koloa Dark Rum and a Frozen Cable Car blended with Koloa Spice Rum.
  • Otherwise, these Raider-themed cocktails are prominent:  Bloody Fist Mary, "Chucky" and Silver & Black Margarita.
  • But those will be for next year.
Here is one list of the best Super Bowl ads of last year.  A likely consensus #1 was Alexa wreaking havoc on the domestic bliss of Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost.  As you know, they are married.  Later this week, a summary of all Super Bowl commercials.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota.  Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north.  Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge.  If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic.  Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing.  The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University.  Caught a bus. Was called the  Century 21 Exposition .  Also the Seattle World's Fair.  10 million joined me on a six-month run.  My first. These a...

OSAKA EXPO: Day One

Well, the day finally came for us to go to the Osaka Expo.  We were told ahead of time that the long walks would be fearful, giant lines will need to be tolerated just to get into the Expo, with those ocean breezes, it would really be cold, and so forth. Maybe it was pure luck, but we avoided all the above warnings  We had a grand day, and are looking forward to Sunday, our second day at the Expo.  So come along for an enjoyable ride. Our hotel is adjacent to the Tennoji Station, a very large one with several lines.  We upgraded our Suica card and caught the Misosuji red line towards Umeda. Transferred to the Chuo green line at the Hommachi Station.  This Osaka Metro train took us to the Yumeshima Station at the Expo site.   It was a very large mob leaving the train and heading to the entrance. Took only a few minutes to get to the entrance.  This mob was multiplied by at least a factor of  ten of those already waiting to enter.  However...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO A JAPANESE HIGH TECH TOILET

Did you know that   Oktoberfest   in Germany is mostly in September?  The very first day of Oktoberfest 2021 was supposed to be today, September 18, extending into October 3.  Well, as in 2020, Oktoberfest was cancelled. So why is it called by that month when it is held mostly in September?  The first celebration in 1810 was in October. Did you also know that Oktoberfest is held only in Munich?  These days seven million drink more than a liter ( about three typical cans ) of beer each, costing around $11.  Except for my wife and I when we followed the crowd to board the S-Bahn to the fairgrounds near Old Town.  It was drizzling a bit.  We bought a large pretzel outside of a typical barn where beer is served.  We did not know that you needed to get this inside the hall.  So no one came to serve us beer.  After a while we decided to have lunch, and the restaurant we settled on only served wine.  Thus, we might have been the ...
