Going Super Green
The Super Bowl is on Sunday, and yes the next blog will be a “who will win” speculation, but for now let’s talk about parties. Having your friends and family over is going to be fun, but don’t think you have to spend a lot of money. You can go green and actually save money. Don’t believe me? Here’s how.
If you don’t have enough plates, don’t go buy paper ones or cups for that matter, get a couple of friends to bring some extra from home. Washing them will be more earth friendly than the paper plates in the landfill. Also, you can recycle the bottles and cans from the evening.
Another option is to keep your menu simple. Try hotdogs and chili instead of some massive spread that may go to waste. Plus, this is more like a stadium anyway. Don’t forget the chips either. This is the Super Bowl not some gourmet event, so don’t think you have to go all out.

Football Recap
The two teams have been decided for the Super Bowl on February 7. The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints spent most of their season undefeated and proved to both fans and critics that they deserve to play in the Championship.
The Colts came back from an 11 point deficit against the Cinderella story of the New York Jets. The Jets put on quite a game for the Colts, but just couldn’t find that magical slipper. I am impressed though with Mark Sanchez and I wouldn’t be surprised if he led the Jets back to the playoffs next year. Colts won 30-17.
The New Orleans Saints had a little tougher time with the Minnesota Vikings. I really think the Vikings were the key to their own undoing because you can’t turn the football over five times and expect to come out ahead, especially when you are playing the Saints at home. I had to turn my TV down several times because of the crowd noise, so I can only imagine what they were dealing with on the field. The Saints won in overtime 31-28.
