We’ll track the progress on this little project and check in from time to time. We did the tailgates (for about 120 people) for three years. Shown below is the A&S tailgate trailer which we had just taken custody of. Stay tuned. In the Vast Space of ‘How you Make Sense of the World’ Published

Not that there aren’t some good ones

Recipes: Football Food

Published on by

This is a compilation of several years’ worth of Football Food Recipes. It’s a fun thing to do, just having appetizers throughout the day of a big game. Give some of them a try. They’re all really good. Recipes for Football Food! Originally published on January 29, 2019  As has been our habit for many years,

It’s like a bunch of highlighters running around

Sigh. This is not college football as God intended.

What a Life!

Perhaps the only actual parallel to Montaigne in literature is Lamb. A. As I type this SEC football will begin in 10 minutes. That’s enough to make this an outstanding day. 2. I am looking for something and find myself in The Encyclopedia Britannica (1962) reading that sentence. How could it possibly get any better?

3% Sympathetic for Starkvegas

Published on by

Eight-five (85) flavors of popcorn. Sweets, too! There’re new signs on Main Street: “10 minute curbside pickup.” And a cop on his scooter thing tagging rear tires with some magic fairy dust to apprehend offeners. Also new in Starkvegas– increased sales tax. I don’t like the idea but am sympathetic– sort of. I don’t know

I cannot begin to tell you

Published on by

how wonderful it is to have a college football game playing on the TV back here in the Den. To hear the announcers, the analysts. No One cares about Southern Miss vs. Whoever Alabama. We just want to hear the cadence of the broadcasters. We just want to see the gawd-awful plays. We don’t care.

How strange

Published on by

To evaluate a head football coach based on W-L record. What an odd concept. “Ole Miss scheduled a player meeting Sunday night to inform the players of the decision. Senior linebacker Willie Hibbler said players, including himself and freshman Jerrion Ealy, walked out of the meeting. “That tells you a lot,” Hibbler said. “I think they

The Vikings mourn the loss of Fred Cox, one of our proudest legends and a member of the 50 Greatest Vikings, the team said in a statement. In 1972, while still playing for the Vikings, Cox came up with the idea of a soft football to prevent leg injuries to kids. He and partner John

Game Day

Published on by

Spend most of the day in Starkvegas. Strangely, it was not too busy even in the early afternoon. No one in The Little Dooey when we were there. Kickoff is at 2:30 tomorrow. Wonder if this could have something to do with the lack of traffic? We have decided to stay home and watch the

Civilized Mania

A sheet of menu cards I’d like to draw your attention to a few things. First, appreciate how accommodating Mr. Big Food is with respect to menu planning. Something for everyone. ABCVegVGF. We had to make a separate stop in our Tuesday is tailgate shopping day to get GF bread. [No sides are listed b/c

We won. Yeah yeah. The football team won a game.  Go Dawgs.

That’s not what I’m talking about.

We won. We won… if I may… BIG.

The food was awesome. We like to play off our opponents’ strengths– in this case South Carolina– and so there was She Crab Soup, and Frogmore Stew in a Corn Muffin (Yea, Kat!). And stuff. Stuffed peppers and tomatoes (Yea, Alix!). And Carolina BBQ. And perloo. That’s how you say it, “Per’-loo.”

(But that’s not how it’s really spelled. It’s really spelled p-i-l-a-u. It is hard to find this on the Internet. It is much easier to wake Mr. Big Food and say, “Hey! How do you spell ‘perloo’?” And if you ask loud enough– and repeatedly– Mr. Big Food will wake from his slumber and say, “P-i-l-a-u.” And the internet will confirm that Mr. Big Food knows what he is talking about with regard to how to properly spell ‘Perloo’.

Everyone really liked the Puppy Dawgs’ table (Yea, Daughter C!) and that we had Dawg water (Yea, Gil!). And a satellite television (Yea, me)!

As I have said, we know how to do this.

BIG thanks to Daughter C, Kat, The J-Man. Andrew. James, the visiting guest speaker. Evan, his wife (I’m no good with names) and their kids who Gil-sat. Carolyn and Tim who guarded the tailgater.

So! What happened in the World today while we were winning?

Tailgate Trailer: Before & After

Published on by

On August 16, 2016 Daughter C and I opened up the back doors of the tailgate trailer. It was quite a sight! About 10 pounds of s*^t in a five pound tin can that gets incredibly hot in the Mississippi afternoon sun. (There’s a roof vent but none of us can figure out how to

The Good Stuff

Published on by

I have put Daughter C in charge of Tailgate decorations. She’s thinking ahead to the October 29th homecoming game against Samford. October 29th. Halloween. She does not want to use the deer skull that belongs to Chris as a tailgate decoration because she worries that it would get broken– and it doesn’t belong to us.
