(my first bite of bacon…clearly I’m just as confused
about it then as I am now)

I’m sure no one is tired of hearing about my new exploits at Express (thanks Liza!) Here are links to the articles, in case you don’t have the luxury of living in the DC Metro area.

Boycotting the Bowl

stadium cake

Ugh.

Okay, whatever, so I guess there’s a football game this weekend. I usually hate the Super Bowl because I’m just so pisted off that my team isn’t in it. But this year, I’m extra furious. (Especially after watching a re-run of the 2005 EaglesPats Super Bowl on the NFL Network last night.)

I know that you all will be able to find tons and tons of recipes for the “big game,” mostly for fried food and dips, but you know ES. We’re trailblazers.

Check out the cake above. When the Skins lost in the playoffs (!) my friend Hickey entertained with the above stadium cake. Although her cake came from a mix, I’ve decided to still showcase it here. So if you’re bored with wings, chips and beer (not that any human could be) feel free to bring something sweet. You’re going to need something delicious to get you through this horror of a game.

Here are some non-cheating alternatives for stadium bundt cake.
