Georgia Tech Game- Saturday, October 3

Hey Everyone! By now, most of you know that ALL 4 of our tailgate tents were stolen on Saturday night after the LSU game! Really stinks! Bill and I went to Walmart today and bought a new tent (Deuce, Cameron and Brooks and Melissa split it with us) and Bob and Anne also bought a new tent. Both are the plain khaki color tops, but are really nice and more than half the cost of the MSU tops, so we will just have to decorate with the flags. The Chambers are also going to bring their tent for next weeks game and might be a permanent fixture at the tailgate! At least they will all still match..even if they are not maroon and white!

So...with the horrible weather, the disappointing game and the awful people that stole four of our freaking tailgate tents, this past weekend can be put in the "we don't want to remember this weekend" book!

On to bigger and better things...Georgia Tech tailgate. As we discussed at the Shearers' house this past weekend, we have decided to do Chili dogs/frito pies, etc. for next weeks game.

The game starts at 6:30 p.m. and the plan is to get out there around lunch time (noon-ish). We will have all day long to enjoy the beautiful weather (hopefully). Right now, high of 76 degrees with a 20% chance of rain, so cross your fingers!

Food List and Needs:

Chili-- Bill and Jenny Shearer
Buns, Ketchup, Mustard, relish--Lynn and Mike Chambers
Hotdogs--Di and Martha Smelley
Toppings (shredded cheese, sliced or diced jalapenos, diced onion, black olives, etc.)--Deuce

Crackers or French bread (to have with just chili)--??
Desserts--??
Appetizers--??
Fritos (for frito pies)--??
Veggies/Fruit--??

Just a few ideas. We also need to have bowls and spoons, which I think Bob and Anne have at the house already.

Any other food is great, too! There is never too many tasty treats to snack on...especially with us tailgating all day long.

We will also have plenty of people to visit with. I am not sure of an exact number, but I think we should expect around 30 people at the tailgate...maybe a few more. I will try to post on here when I find out how many people the Barnhills are bringing. It should be a ton of fun! Can't wait to see everyone next weekend.

Leave a post if you want to claim something to bring! Go Bulldogs!

Jackson State Tailgate

Hey Guys...had a ton of fun at the 1st tailgate! If anyone wants to send me their recipes, I can put them on here for all to have. A few of you asked for the sandwich recipe...here it is.

Anonymous Rolls
36 small dinner rolls (in foil pans---might have to buy the pans separately)
8 oz. sliced Swiss cheese
36 thin slices of smoked ham (or turkey)
2 sticks softened butter
2 Tbls. minced onion
4 Tbls. Poupon mustard
4 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce
5-6 Tbls. poppy seeds

Mix together butter, onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds. Slice open rolls and cover both sides with butter mixture. Layer ham and cheese. Put into aluminum pans. Wrap pans in foil and Bake for 30 minutes at 350'.

They can be frozen before baking. If so, put frozen rolls straight into preheated over and bake for an hour or until center is warm. We finished them off on the grill for a crispier sandwich! Great for tailgates and super easy. I made them on the Wednesday before the Saturday game and just put them in the freezer until we were ready to bake them.
