It’s a big Sunday, I’m told, in the football world. The games will be on at my house. My husband will be in the recliner with his Velveeta dip, trying to decide which teams he hates less.

I’m planning something of a playoff game myself, but mine will be edible. I’m going to go all the way with making chicken stock and chicken noodle soup the old-fashioned hard way. I’m gettin’ a big chicken and boilin’ it up with all the veggies and stuff and then taking the chicken off the bone, stirring in some kluski noodles and goin’ to town.

I’ve done this in pieces before, but never all at once. And I’m ready. This is my idea of fun.

Game time.
