Company arrived shortly after 8am and the male folk set off for the game. Leaving us female folk to enjoy our morning coffee and load up the truck. Thanks to Mr. Bruno & Lique, and a note from Walter to the Parking Patrol folks, set up went well. Joe (L) and Albert (R) volunteered to
Mr. Big Food & Co. are hosting a tailgate after the MSU / Auburn game which kicks off at 11am central next Saturday. We expect about 150 people. Here’s what we’ve done so far. We have procured 28 pounds of beef brisket. We have procured 28 pounds of pig sholder. We have procured 35 pounds
Please pardon the lack of blogging. It is not as if there’s nothing to blog about! The rain ruined the long John melons. The Sonic Boom of the South was awesome (but not quite as awesome as a few years ago). There was no fly over. Near the end of our National Anthem folks turned
There’s a smudge on my camera’s lens. Sorry ’bout that. This is interesting, we thought. Jambalaya with no tomatoes? No ham? Neither Mr. Big Food nor I understood until we saw it. It’s beautiful. With no tomato distraction, the translucent onions and cream colored rice make a wonderful background for the shrimp. The green onions
Pathetic. I’m diddling around on the World Wide Web awaiting the start of a football game. What I was doing while diddling: a word cloud of the blog. I think it sums things up nicely. Mr. Big Food is already in front of the television. He blurts out loudly enough for me to hear, “Franklin
It’s raining like crazy here. If we’d stayed for the game, we’d be confronting it, driving home, about now. We went to the tailgate, chatted, took some pictures, ate, chatted, chatted with Daughter C., chatted some more, gave away our tickets, left, and came home. This was about 3pm. Very quiet & subdued.

1. I predict I will see a lot of this over-priced stuff today, and that the more I think about the relationship between Big Business and Big College Sports, the more ticked off I will become. You can’t get to the Athletics page without going past this advertisement. 2. I predict the “highly-anticipated” matchup has
Of all of the pictures I took of them, I liked this posed photo the best. Mr. Big Food (L); Mr. Kant (R) The only missing element was Rocky. UPDATE: A few more photos below the fold The task Starting to pile up Starting to smell like one Big cedar closet! How to dull a
H/t North Mississippi Commentor We are talking about the offense of That School Up North’s football team. Juco All-American at Red Cup Rebellion was at last week’s Louisiana Tech’s game against Ole Miss. Rather than leaving at half-time, he stayed and started paying attention to the signs the offensive staff were holding up on the
Folks at the tailgate voted “Coosie’s Cowboy Up” chili #1! I attribute this to garden fresh tomatoes and peppers, a creative mix of spices, two cuts of freshly ground beef, and homemade chorizo.

Ole Miss– That School Up North– is not living up to expectations on the field. Office of the ChancellorUniversity, MS 38677-1848Dear Ole Miss Family and Friends, As you know, Ole Miss is dedicated to excellence in everything we do. Recently, our football team has not lived up to that expectation. With much thought and consideration,
I’ve been working on a post about manners and The South, and listening to the food preferences of my children who will all be here at the Farm at the same time for the first time ever. Lord. Thankfully, the SEC intervened. The first three quarters were punctuated by Big Food: Beer battered fries, little
Lee Habeeb, a native of New Jersey, has an article up at National Review Online. It begins: I’m a Jersey boy. I was born there, went to high school and college there, and assumed I’d spend the rest of my life there. But though I loved the people and food, the Jersey Shore summers, and
An SEC tailgate at which we bar-b-qued 260 pieces of chicken. This is big BIG food! Let me walk you through the photo. The guy in the white shirt is Mr. Big Food, and the very proud owner of all three grills. Two of the grills– guess which one?– our local welding guy, Jesse, made.
