“I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.”
~Lennon / McCartney
It looks like Madonna has enlisted a little help from her friends for half time on Super Bowl Sunday. If you’re anything like me you look forward to the advertising and halftime performance as much as the game itself… (and naturally the food 
)
Everyone has been speculating about what The Material Girl has up her sleeve for half time …(and whether Elton will crash the game hurling verbal barbs her way ). Madonna asked Nicki Minaj and LFMAO to join her onstage and early last month I heard she’ll be doing a “Best of Madonna” set including “Ray of Light,” “Music,” and, naturally, “Vogue.” It’ll be interesting to see how N.M & LFMAO fit into her set.
We will, we will rock you!
Remember to make Guacamole, Pigs in the Blanket, Chicken Wings, Devilled Eggs (that look like footballs – use chives to make laces).
I’ll leave you with some Super Bowl facts I found…. Go Team!
