Superbowl Sunday, the day of the U.S. National Football League (NFL) championship game, is generally viewed as an unofficial holiday in the United States. It is a day when friends gather together dressed in their favorite team's jersey with potato chips in hand to witness a little piece of football (and advertising) history.

This year's Superbowl will be played in Miami on Sunday, February 4th. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:25 pm and will be televised on CBS. The Chicago Bears (15-4) will face off with the Indianapolis Colts (15-3). It is the Bear's first Super Bowl appearance since winning Super Bowl XX in 1986; it is the first time that the Colts have made it into the championship since Super Bowl V in 1971 when the Colts, then located in Baltimore, beat Dallas.

For those who are not football fanatics, the Superbowl viewing experience offers other attractions. With more than 1.5 million anticipated viewers watching the game, advertisers debut what are intended to be the best commercials of the year. It is not unlikely that much of the talk following the Superbowl will actually be about the best commercials, not the biggest plays of the game! Notable musical performances also lure viewers with Billy Joel singing the National Anthem this year and Prince taking the stage for the half-time show. If your interest is still not piqued, there is always food. Superbowl festivities tend to focus on a smorgasbord of American snack food classics including pizza, chili, chips, and dips--so be prepared to indulge.

3 ripe avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
¼-½ medium onion, diced
1 roma tomato, diced
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Cut the peeled and seeded avocado into chunks and mash with a fork. Add half of the lime juice to coat the avocado mash. Add the cumin, cilantro, onion, and tomato. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, cayenne pepper, and the remaining lime juice. Continue mashing mixture until you reach desired consistency.

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
