35:00 Row + Superbowl Menu

Friday! Even better, it's SUPERBOWL Friday! Which means I have some serious cooking to do. For the second year I'm planning on putting together an epic Superbowl Snackadium and I'm super pumped about it. I did it last year for a fairly small-ish group of 15 people and it was a thing of beauty. This year I'm upping the ante and trying to feed around 25 people, including several  veggiesauri and at least one whom is gluten-averse. Full menu:

1. Guacamole [pre-made]
2. Salsa [pre-made]
3. Hummus [pre-made]
4. Roasted Veggie Dip
5. Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip [slow cooker]
6. BBQ Beef Sliders
7. Pesto Portobello Sliders
8. Chicken Wonton Tacos
9. Thai Peanut Chicken Wings [slow cooker]
10. Tequila Lime Turkey Chili [slow cooker]
11. Hearty Veggie Chili [slow cooker]
12. Sriracha Quinoa Bites
13. Mac & Cheese Bites
14. Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus Spears
15. Herb Crusted Sweet Potato Bites
16. Bacon-Wrapped Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates (Devils on Horseback)
17. Southwestern Egg Rolls
18. Football Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
19. Car Bomb Cupcakes

Huh. Looks a mite bit ambitious when I lay it all out like that. But it's gonna happen! However before I can cook, I need to shop, and that's where Costco comes in. I love Costco, no joke. I can't quite justify having a membership since I'm pretty sure boyfriend and I don't *actually* need 30 pounds of beef tenderloin (or maybe we do...), but a friend of mine is willing to shepherd me around while I buy absurd amounts of bell peppers. So pumped!

Because of the shopping, I have to cut today's workout a bit short. And what's better for short workouts than the erg? Nothing. Probably. But I haven't had a good row in awhile, so erg(ging?) it is.

Comments
Well, I kept a normal pace for most of the sets, but I definitely felt slower as more piled on; I don't think I've ever done 5 intervals in a row before, normally I cap it at 4. But it's going to be a fat kid kind of weekend so I decided to go for it. Although 2 days of cooking should totally burn some calories...

But only if I don't eat all the ingredients as I go...
