Go Team!

Crock-Pot SCCPMD1-CH Hook Up Connectable Entertaining System, Double Oval 1-quart, Metallic Charcoal

Happy big game day! Not only is it the Super Bowl of football (and television commercials), but it is also the Super Bowl of the snack food! Best (and worst) food day since Thanksgiving.

If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, be sure to have both teams represented on the living room table. Whether you are rooting for Patriot’s red or Seahawk’s green, having food to match is but one way to ensure parity at the viewing party. Of course, beware what you serve around those Patriot’s fans; there’s a good chance they’ll let all the air out of a spinach souffle.

Play it safe and score a touchdown with the Crock-Pot SCCPMD1-CH Hook Up Connectable Entertaining System, Double Oval 1-quart. Just don’t be surprised to find any “nautical blue” food coloring added to the mix that nobody seems to know how it got there!

Underneath The Chocolate Fountain

Ovente SBL-811 Chocolate Fondue Fountain

Behold!

This rare shot of the elusive chocolate fountain shows the creature in all its naked glory. This fine specimen is called the Ovente SBL-811 Chocolate Fondue Fountain and can hold up to 2 pounds of chocolate — which is certainly more visually appealing than the raw, naked beast you see before you now.

Rarely seen in this state out of its natural environment of the all-you-can-eat restaurant, this magnificent creature can now be yours to have in your very own home — just don’t forget to feed it.

Charlie Brown & Snoopy Waffle Maker

Peanuts Snoopy & Charlie Brown Character Waffle Maker

Peanuts characters are breaking out of their two-dimensional world! No, I am not talking about the fact that the upcoming CGI Peanuts movie is going to give the Snoopy and the gang depth perception. This is a kitchen blog, so I’m talking about the Peanuts Snoopy & Charlie Brown Character Waffle Maker. Specifically, big, fluffy waffles made to look like Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Snoopy’s Sopwith Camel, err, dog house.

The “Peanuts” movie doesn’t come out until next year, so meanwhile, kick back with some waffles. Don’t forget to share with the Little Red-Haired Girl.
