Super Bowl Sunday!

Well, yesterday was superbowl sunday. We had a ton of errands to run and started off with mass at 10:45. By the time wwe got back it was 3:30. Sean and Aji stepped out again to get his pictures for passport renewal and couple more errands. Rhea took a nap and I had decided to do start on the dinner. Since it was superbowl and all and the wweather was pretty nice we had initially thought of grilling. I had planned on an appetizer and desert both of which i hadn't even done any prep work. Add to that I also had to make the Oatmeal and the lunches for the week. It got dark outside pretty quickly, aji went downstairs for a jog and i started on the Asparagus and Hummus Tart and then marinated the chicken to grill. That didn't take much time and i knew that it was going to be a appetizer and dessert night. So i put away the chicken that as marinating back in the fridge.


Asparagus and Hummus Tart


The game was on and the kids and aji settled with their drinks. Beer for dad and sparkling cider for the kiddos. I started on the desert in between watching snippets of the game. The game got pretty interesting after half time especially the 4th quarter. Anishchayan would call whenever there was a touch down. Sean also got interested in the game and he was backing the steelers. Since the Redskins hadn't made it (no surprises there), aji and I ususally support the underdog, in this case the Cardinals. It was a pretty close game and of course the steelers took it away with just 40 secs remaining.

In between the game, dessert was ready and Sean had slept off in front off the TV. I tried waking him up since he was most excited about the dessert. But he was so sound asleep.





I wanted to cut the tart in the morning with Sean but father and daughter would have none of it. both of them wanted it rightaway. Since i was outnumbered we went ahaed and indulged. It was awesome. Rhea enjoyed the fruits and the custard the most!



We went to bed, way too late for a sunday night and I woke up late and missed my workout today morning :(
