It's Monday, What's Kicking Tonight?



Who's Game For Some Football Tonight?


1.  Tonight's game, the NY Jets vs. the Tennessee Titans, will be the 677th Monday Night Football matchup! 

2. Monday Night Football debuted in 1970 with a game between the NY Jets and the Cleveland Browns.  Cleveland won.

3. The Miami Dolphins have played in more Monday Night Football games than any other team.  They've won about half of those games.

Chocolate Covered WHAT?


Here's a crazy "holiday" being observed today

National Chocolate Covered Anything Day

Weird, right?  I guess as holidays go, one that has anything to do with chocolate is pretty awesome.  I am assuming that it is meant to be Chocolate Covered Anything Edible day, but who knows?

Three chocolate covered edibles to consider for today:

1) Chocolate Covered Bacon .  Is your mouth watering at the mere thought of this the way mine is?  Whoever thought of the combination is a GENIUS!  If you haven't tried the chocolatey-sweet-salty-baconey-melt-in-your-mouth amazingness, find some today.  Most specialty candy stores carry it.

2) Chocolate Covered Raisins  Timeless classic movie candy.  You can't go wrong with these, and one can argue that they are healthy! (ish...) Right?  At least one serving of fruit, I'm thinking.

3) Chocolate Covered Crickets Really!  You can actually buy these!  Not much to say about them since it is not a confection I have actually tried, (nor am I likely to try them, but who knows? I've done crazier things.)  One website that sells these provides you with an "I Ate A Bug Club" button.  I'm sure I qualify for that club, although not intentionally...

                                                     Could you nosh on these during the game?

 
These are but three of oh so many potential "chocolate covereds."  What are your favorites?
