Superbowl Snack: Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

It's funny how our society associates events with some weird nutritional traditions. 

Take the Superbowl, for example. The Superbowl represents the pinnacle of athletic achievement - the world's most highly-trained athletes facing off for four hours of brutal competition with the whole world watching. Reaching this game has taken each participant years of training, practice, and self-denial. 

So how do we honour these modern-day gladiators that populate our televisions for one Sunday early in February? 

We get drunk and gorge on fatty foods, of course.

Beer Butt Chicken & Mixed Potatoes

This weekend's meal of choice was a personal favourite of mine, Beer Butt Chicken. Merging beer with chicken is an obvious and delicious combination. It makes the juiciest, most tender chicken I've had. And it would take an enormous moron to screw it up, which is nice for me.

Of course, you don't eat JUST chicken for dinner. Gotta have a side dish. So I dug through my closet and decided to clean out the remainders of my potato stash. I chopped up two sweet potatoes, one regular potato, one onion and a clove of garlic.

I may have busted out the beer a little early, too.
