Super Bowl Sunday

It's Super Bowl Sunday in the USA.  And with our close ties to America, it's pretty well become our day too.  All the bars are packed for the 4 hour show.  If you don;t like football, there's always Madonna on the half time show.  I always seem to end up at the supermarket around 2:30pm on SBS and it's always fun to notice all the men out shopping.  Carts loaded with veggie platter, salsa, chips etc. The stores even make it easy for the blokes to get a pot of Chile on by having all the ingredients available at the end of one aisle.  Cans of beans, tomatoes, sauce etc, all en guarde in one convenient shopping station. Fridge freezers full of sour cream dips with pile of chips around.  And today they had inflatable balloon footballs hanging over all the "snack stations" so the guys could find their territory quickly amongst the female shoppers. 

I have been abandoned by the Raz Man and Girl Child who have popped off to their respective parties and I am at home cooking soup and a big Chile for the week. And while it's cooking, I'm not watching the game, but rather reading Canadian House and Home online. I am somewhat obsessed with Editor Suzanne Dimma's style and have been perusing photos of her and hubby Arriz's home. I've been most pleased with the direction H & H has taken since she became editor.  I loved Cobi Ladner at the helm, but really enjoy the spice Suzanne has brought to the magazine.  Her style has a crisp perfection to it, that is neither contrived nor complicated. These photos are from her blog which you can see HERE.
