It's World Cup Time, and James has me on the edge of my seat with all of the excitement! I am not going to lie - I didn't really care much about soccer growing up. The last World Cup James and I were living in Seattle, and James was pretty into the World Cup at that point. He and his room-mates went to soccer bars in Seattle at 6:00am to watch games with hashbrowns and Guinness.
This time around, James has snagged me into the fan-hood as well. We kicked off the fun last weekend with the US-English game on Saturday. I made some patriotic white chocolate covered pretzels, grabbed some patriotic Sam Adams beer, and we had a bunch of friends over. Then on Monday, James invited some guys over to watch the Dutch game at 7:30am. He prepared apple pannekoeken (Dutch Pancakes) in honor of the Orange. And now, here we are at 7:30 am on Saturday, watching the Dutch play Japan.
So cheers to team USA!!! (and to the Dutch!)
Here are some of the guys chowing down during the Dutch game on Monday.
