Ok, the Steelers lost, I know. And my official mourning period is over now, but with my wounds still feeling fresh from the curb stomping handed out by the Pack, I will share with you the details of my Super Bowl Sunday party. Although the game was NOT super, the party certainly was.



The menu included mini burgers served on down and distance marker skewers. To make the skewers, I used orange cardstock paper cut into triangles, white card stock paper cut into circles with a 1 ½" round paper punch, a black marker, all purpose craft glue and medium length bamboo skewers.



I wrote numbers 1-4 on the white paper rounds with the black marker and glued the white and orange paper to the skewer to make them look like the down and distance markers on the sideline of any football game.



I also created serving suggestions for the mini burgers, Pittsburgh style, and set out all the fixings to let party goers create their own mini masterpieces.



Also on the menu were French fries with cheese and gravy, hot wings, coleslaw, veggies and dip, Hanover pretzels and doughnuts (what is a tailgate party without doughnuts!)-many of which were contributed by my guests (thanks guys!). And of course, we had Iron City Beer.



For desert, I served Steeler helmet sugar cookie cut outs with royal icing and football shaped brownies.

I wish the score would have been different, but regardless, the party was a blast-complete with stadium-style seating in the living room and a very enthusiastic peanut gallery!
