California's senators will make good on their Super Bowl bet with their Maryland colleagues on Thursday.
"Be ready," Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) told The Hill on Monday night.
Mikulski has enjoyed bragging rights since the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers, 34 to 31.
On the night of the game she tweeted: "Well not a word frm Sen Boxer n Feinstein to Ben/Me- Must.b out looking for sourdough to pay off our bet. Hurray we keep the crabcakes !!!"
Wagers on sporting events are standard fare among lawmakers.
California Sens. Barbara Boxer (D) and Dianne Feinstein (D) offered Dungeness crab, Napa Valley wine, sourdough bread and a selection of Northern California cheeses in their bet with Mikulski and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.).
The Maryland Democrats had offered Faidley’s crab cakes, Berger cookies and Heavy Seas beer in exchange with Mikulski throwing in a can of one of Baltimore’s favorite hair sprays.
Details of Boxer and Feinstein's handover have yet to be announced. Senate Democrats will be on their annual retreat Tuesday and Wednesday and return to Washington on Thursday.
