Super Bowl Sunday

I'm going to out myself right now and just say it,
I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.
There. I've said it and now I feel much better. Usually people are like, Shhhhhh, shh, shhhh, the game is on! I'm like Shhhhhhh, shhhhhh, shhhh... here comes another commercial!.

In between some pretty funny and pretty lame (Go Daddy) commercials we sat down with Nate's family and had a little Sunday school lesson. I would like to call this lesson the 10 degrees of glory. It's kind of like the 3 degrees of glory, but totally different.

The 10 degrees of glory isn't something I can explain; it's something that you have to see with your own eyes to believe. And now friends, I give you

The 10 degrees of glory:

(thanks to Nate's twin brother, Dustin, for being the master chef)





I've done the math. I've added it up and HUGE does not fit through NOT HUGE very easily. I do, however, know that it is possible. I have given birth 3 times and it all magically, painfully seems to happen. I'm not, by any means, comparing Dustin's mouth to a birth canal. But I guess, if we wanted to, we could say that this is what it would look like if Dustin- or any other person- were to birth a sandwich backwards.


Next in line was the beer of root taste test. We took 10 different brands of root beer...

sorted them all out....

and then tasted away.

This is me getting my sip on. (I think somewhere down the line of my genealogy tree there is a Jay Leno branch.)


Now that I, along with Nate's family, have become root beer connoisseur's I can tell you what to drink and what not to drink.

Almost all of us chose A&W as the best drink out of the 10 others with Barq's trailing close behind.

The worst tasting, hands down, was Shasta root beer. Don't buy it. Ever.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

We did a root beer taste test before too(although our variety was much smaller then yours) and we came out with the same results. Two thumbs up for A&W and two thumbs down for Shasta. Fortunately the kids haven't picked up on this and I can still get away with the cheap stuff with them.

Oh wow. That fetus sandwich makes me vom in my mouth. I hope it only makes Super Bowl appearances!!

And I don't see any Hank's in that root beer taste test...I think the results are definitely skewed without it. Do you need us to mail you some?

I love the rootbeer taste test. Rootbeer has been my pregnancy craving drink of choice. I've gone through gallons!! Phoebe is very concerned for me! I have to add my vote for Hank's. I recently discovered it in a restaurant and it's heaven on earth in a bottle for all rootbeer addicts!!

Have you ever seen Man v. Food? I swear he ate a sandwich kinda like that. Did you eat one? Barq's is my favorite for sure.

Hello, Vegas, yes, no? what is your deal?

Ginnie said...

Oh, no, no, no. I did not eat one. The thought makes me want to vomit. seriously. I think they got the idea off of that show.

You're all wrong. Henry Weinhard's, hand down.

That burger is out of control!!! And my husband would definitely love to participate in a root beer taste off and would definitely agree with the A&W!

That looks like fun and what an amazing sandwhich. They should just blend it up and drink it! JK. Great post and fun pics!

Wow! What a sandwich! The hamburger patty looks a little funny though. :)
I love root beer and would have gladly participated in the taste testing. A&W is my favorite too.

Thank you for responding to all my questions the other day! I'm ordering a 50mm glass soon and I can't wait to play with it.
