Apple Chip Cake

Can we all collectively drown our sorrows in cake for a day?  First of all, the Broncos lost the Superbowl yesterday.  Second of all, they looked like a high school team out there.  Third of all, my sister now gets to gloat that the team she was rooting for won.

Not only was it a bad game because "my team" lost, but because it was so lopsided, it was also unbelievably boring.  This is precisely why I watch hockey.  I will say that football food is better than hockey food though.  Actually, I don't know what hockey food is.  If I had to guess, I would say poutine?

In other sporting news, this weekend the Olympics start!  And you know there's no better way to support the (American) athletes than with apple pie chip cake!
