Are you ready for some football?

Ok, as a die hard Bears fan, I really see no point to watching the game tomorrow other than for my squares and the chance to wine some money.  But I am going over to some friends for a party tomorrow, and I think I'll bring a bottle of nice red wine but then I had to go to G.B. Russo & Sons, my absolute favorite store in Grand Rapids!  And of course I spend more than I wanted, but I got some nice items for a more festive Italian/foodie fare for the big game!  So, suppose I will bring a bottle of 2008 Coppola Claret which is a good bet for wine and as for food, here's what I picked up:

• Two different kinds of crostini, one with Italian herbs and one plain
• A pound of nice kalamata olives
• Some blue corn and regular corn tortilla chips
• Some aged Stella Asiago cheese
• Some nice aged American Grana Parmesan
• Some cheddar Buffalo wing cheese (with jalapeno and habanero peppers, I tried it and it's very HOT!)
• Some slided dry salami (the kind that's an inch or so in diameter)
• A jar of roasted red peppers, and
• A nice loaf of artisan bread

I suppose a lot of other people are bringing stuff too, but at least I can be sure now that I won't go hungry!
