So your husband invited a bunch of guys over on Sunday, huh?  Well go ahead and invite the wives over, too, and make it a party.  A Super Bowl party!  Throw this chili together in the afternoon, put out some chips and salsa for your guests to snack on before halftime, and relax because dinner is done.  Easy.  Go 49ers. Or Ravens. We ain’t here to cause no trouble, we’re just here to do the Super Bowl shuffle…
