Super Bowl Roundup: 20 P&Q Eats for the Big Game

Super Bowl Roundup: 20 Tasty Eats for the Big Game // the pig & quill

Do you remember your first Super Bowl? I do. My mom and I were living in an apartment off the river, in a little one-bedroom over the manager’s office. One of my favorite pastimes was fastening a paperclip to a string, knotting it clumsily around the end of a stick and dangling it over the balcony.

Clearly, I have issues. Happily, Emily and I have since resolved things in our relationship (if you count a long-winded email in which I confess to her by just how much she’s kicking my ass at Emilyness … Read More
