Wrestlemania Spin-a-Roni PreShow

It's been nonstop WWE Network in the house all week.  We definitely got our $9.99 worth this month! Dan has been working pretty hard at watching all of the all time greatest WWE matches; I've been passing out about 1am every night. It seems that there are so many opinions over greatest WWE Wrestlemania match ever; but in this house it is Michaels v. Taker WM 25.

So in the midst of me being put to task of making a fancy Excel spreadsheet with our predictions (loser buys dinner) (WARNING: it is FULL of typos), watching nonstop matches, going to a WWE Trivia Night at the local bar (and all things considering, coming in a respectable 5th place considering it was SUPER hard and Dan was pretty much on his own) and me trying to organize the house, we STILL came up with a menu worthy of such a high date.

I will take this moment to point out that we spent more on this menu than we did on Thanksgiving, and we had a 22lb turkey. 

The inspiration was not only Wrestlemania, but also San Francisco.  Now, when I think of San Francisco food, I think of fresh ingredients and burritos!  So cut to us at the grocery store buying EVERYTHING to put together this feast.

PRESHOW

No Pre Show is complete without a MOUNTAIN DEW KICKSTART (I got the bonus points for finding these in the store!).  

We have been prepping food all day, and Dan's friend is coming by a little late.  But since we've been on basically a fast waiting for this meal (the vegan salad was homage perhaps to Bryan) we needed some pre-food for the pre-show.

SUPERMAN ISLAND PUNCH
Inspired in part by Reigns and in part by the Usos, we have developed something that is going to feel TERRIBLE tomorrow.
- three parts vodka
- two parts rum
- one part curaco 
- two parts bluebrery vodka
- six parts pineapple juice
- splash of vanilla
- frozen blueberries and pineapple
MIX ALL and stir over ice, Keep drinking through entire night.














Mr. Perfect GUACAMOLE
I'm sort of known for my guacamole.  I don't like to brag, but it's so perfect, Kurt Henning would cry if he had a bite of it. So in honor of the heat for the IC title, I will share my secrets.
- two ripe avocados, mashed
- juice from one lime
- one diced japelno
- one diced garlic clove
- 1/4 cup of cilantro 
- 1/4 chopped red onion
- 2 diced tomatoes on vine
- hot sauce, salt, and pepper to taste
