So, there’s this big football game on Sunday: Brothers coaching the San Francisco something-or-others against the Baltimore what’s-their-names.
(smile)
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know I’m not there for the game.
I’m there for the food and the commercials! 
The Budweiser Clydesdale’s commercials are a favorite of mine and this one makes me think of two special blogging friends: D at The View Out Here who raises & trains beauties like these and Dianna over at These Days of Mine who wishes she did.
Happy Super Bowl, everyone!

Aw……MJ, thanks for mentioning me!! What a sweet thing for you to say.
I love, love, love that commercial. It always makes me smile.
(And a friend gave me a “horse wish book” for our anniversary this week.)
Have a great weekend, my friend!
I knew you’d love it and thank you for posting the new one, too
I did tour the Budweiser plant & stables in St. Louis once and yes they were there. Beauties.
Happy anniversary!!

Check it out, MJ! Bud’s commercial for this year’s Super Bowl. Now you don’t have to watch the game!
LOVE! Now I can watch him over & over + watch the game, too
Thanks! MJ
I, too, love Clydesdale’s…I have two horseshoes for Clydesdale….just know the horses will show up any day. I will check the other two blogs and thans for the preview of the commercial. I don’t watch the game.
This made me cry! I want to go home back to the farm and just have one horse.
Aww, I love that you still have some of their horseshoes – sure are big, aren’t they?
I would only want a horse again if I could go back to farm living (open fields to roam, my own barn, peace & solitude).

Never have cared much for football; it bores me.
A bunch of guys bend over in a circle, then they kick a dead pig across the lawn.
Yawn…
ha ha ha! I actually do watch college football and I enjoy the hype of the Super Bowl but I can’t say I pay much mind to the game! MJ
I’ll be taking the butterfinger cake to my mother’s on Saturday! Thanks a bunch…and all those also, coming will be thanking you, too.
Yay! I do hope you’ll let me know how it turned out and was rec’d – It gives me great pride to know you’re taking one of my treats with you, neat!
MJ
Mmmmmm. Looks delicious — and evil for my diet.
Love the photograph — we dubbed hay bales like this “alien pods” when our son was little. He was very interested in space and thought it was hilarious. So I love your photo of our neighbors.
Elyse, when my son was little, we called those bales “worms”, especially so when they were lined up i the field!
another creative mom!
MJ
How funny. You must smile at them a ll the time like I do.
Alien pods – ha! What little kid wouldn’t love to ponder on that? You are very creative, Elyse
MJ
I think my husband was responsible for the moniker — he’s the alien in our household!
That’s such a sweet commercial!
I’m not having or attending a Super Bowl party. But I might just have to make one of your yummy foods for us to enjoy at home. The Heath Bar brownies would go over great!
I know, I just love those horses
. We are just having 1 couple over and I already prepped the Skyline Chili. They’re bringing stuff for sandwiches & I’m making some Queso sauce and BBQ Meatballs — finger foods, mostly. I did prepare a Veggie tray just to balance it out!
I can tell you this: every single place I’ve taken the Heath Bar Brownies … they’ve always been a hit. I just know your family will enjoy them! MJ
The Clydesdales are always my favorite commercial too. And the superbowl is fun for all of the reasons you outlined – the food, the friends, the commercials, the half-time show – not to mention the game itself and the drama behind the scenes. Oh yeah – MJ – I’m gearing up!
Yeah! It was a fun time, the game was up & down, the food was amazing and we had laughs with great friends. Can’t beat that
Good to hear from you, Renee. Hope things are settling down on your end 
MJ
Happy Super Bowl to you, too, MJ! SInce my dad was a bookie, Super Bowl Sunday was always a big deal in our house–and not always in a good way. It all depended on who won!
Sorry to have been so absent recently. Selling our house in the US and moving to Ecuador has proven more all-consuming than I might have imagined.
Hope you’re staying warm. I suppose the big game is getting started even as I type this.
Hugs,
Kathy
I can imagine you are swamped with details of your pending move and I hope that, somewhere in there, is time for you!! Take care my friend, MJ
Your recipes look wonderful. Unfortunately, about this time of year I’m so porked-up from the holiday feasting that I can’t even think of fixing anything like that. But I’ll set them aside for some parties coming up this spring and summer. Thanks!
