Forgetting About (or, Recovering From) the Super Bowl

So, another Super Bowl has come and gone. Did your team win? Were you waving the Terrible Towels, only to use them later to wipe your tears? Were you just there for the commercials (which kind of stunk) or the halftime show (which really kind of stunk)? Or, was it the food?

Oh, yes, the food. Eat one too many slices of pizza? A few scoops of your friend's awesome buffalo chicken dip you probably should have left in the bowl? Another piece of that party sub that came in about an hour after you said, "no mas," but it looked too good to pass up?

Well, it's the Monday after, and Patch wants to help you (and us) recover successfully from either the agony of defeat, or the agony of that food baby that's still kicking around in your gut.

1. You Need to Know Snow Has Been Melting: With temperatures hovering around 40 degrees this past weekend, we had ourselves quite the melt-off, despite the giant ice mountains still surrounding us. It's supposed to be about 40 degrees today, so get out there and enjoy the relative warmth and the knowledge that football is just a game. Oh, and you might want to enjoy it now, because (sigh) more winter weather is expected this week.
2. You Need to Know About the Rawness: You've heard chocolate, at least certain kinds, can be good for you, right? Do you not believe that, but want to? Well, no matter which camp you're in, forget your Super Bowl woes, or keep the party going, at 6:30 p.m. at The Health Shoppe, where raw chocolate will be the topic, and taste, of a special event. $35 registration fee.
3. You Need to Know About Bike Morristown: Feeling a little "food guilt" because of all the fun you consumed last night (resolution? What resolution?)? This monthly get together meets at 7 p.m. every first Monday of the month at Greenberry's, where bike fans get together and talk shop. Heck, if you ride there, you might be able to burn off some of those calories from last night (if, of course, you're riding from Cowboys Stadium, that is).
4. You Need to Know About Game Night at Hennessey's: Was the problem a little too many bottles of beer on the wall ended up in your stomach? Hair of the dog, perhaps? If the last thing you want is another Bud Light but you'd still like to get out of the house, go to Hennessey's at 7 p.m. for their weekly game night, where they promise, "you won't find boring trivia here."
5. You Need to Know Misery Loves Company: Two weeks ago, the Steelers beat the Jets. This weekend, the Steelers were beaten by the Packers. So, it stands to reason most folks who patronize Grasshopper off the Green, otherwise known as Jets central, would be happy and jovial now that those that beat them have been beaten. Sure, your team lost, but in the end, misery loves company, right? Stop by for a consolation drink.
