Who Dat Party!

So....this is one topic of life that I have figured out.  How to throw a proper Saints viewing party.  Unfortunately, last week the Saints forgot to win the game to add the perfect ending to a good night of football, food and friends.  They better like look like getting it together this weekend when they come home to play their first home game against the Bears.

The year the Saints won the Super Bowl (woooo hoooo!!!, never thought I would say that) I started a little tradition.  I make jambalaya, Emeril's recipe doctored by me (I use some excellent andouille sausage recommended to me by an old black man who works at Rouses who knew his shit about sausage and some shrimp, I do not use chicken because I avoid touching raw chicken as often as humanly possible)

Side note about chicken - I like chicken just fine, but seriously, I can't stand to touch it raw.  So, if you come to my house to eat, don't ever expect to have chicken unless I purchased it at Popeye's along with the best tasting biscuits on the planet.

Ok, back to my tradition.  I make jambalaya and have people over.  The tradition worked for every game during the Saints super bowl run, so I thought I would get back to business and bring back the tradition this year.  So far, it hasn't worked :(  Damn it!  Anyway, below are pics from the party.

Delicious Jambalaya!!

(yum!!!)

Me and Mr. Cooper who helped himself onto the couch (Don't judge, but Mr. Cooper had to be sedated for that evening because the dog is more into football than me, if that's possible), so he was even more needy than usual.  I think I might try a little less sedative the next time I have a football party.  However, this will not be a weekly occurrence because of the need to sedate Mr. Cooper...

Anyway, this is one topic of life I've figured out.  However, no worries friends, I have plenty of areas of life that I haven't even remotely begun to figure out, so more postings to come.  Men and my bizarre dating life will be the topic of the next post.  I know there is some interest in this topic because I don't exactly have a normal track record with men or dating.  No idea why, but whatev, I'll get my shit together at some point.

Until next time...WHO DAT?!?!?!
