Good morning all,
This lovely fall weather and college football starting has been making me think of maybe having a tailgate. I've only ever brought a contribution to one before, not actually organized one. I might even "cheat" and have it in my driveway (I know, it's lame, but I live two blocks aways from the local high school field so it's a close subtitute). When I think of tailgates, I think of: bloody marys and/or pony keg chili con queso w/ tortilla chips some sort of soup brats (maybe sauerkraut too?) chili Some sort of hold-in-hand-to-eat dessert (like cookies or bars) Has anyone else hosted one? Or been to one that had a great menu? Recipe & planning ideas welcome. Go Michigan State, Kris |

Today's tailgate is washed out, but I had all my ingredients for stromboli ready (pizza dough, prosciutto, salami, pastrami, hot peppers), so I made them anyway. Froze one, baked the other and had that for lunch. Unfortunately my brain let me down at the last minute and I forgot to eggwash the outside of the stromboli before baking it. Tasted great, looked anemic. Oh, well. Last week it was a big bricked sandwich with the same salami & prosciutto, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, basil and tapenade. Other stuff I likely forget. nancy |

It doesn't need to stay hot or warm for longer than 45 minutes to an hour. And I'm easy, I'd even eat it cold. Heh. nancy |

You could walk around the parking lot and socialize and trade food. The TG squad now patrols the lot and dampers the fun a little. They want you in your own spot and not in a an adjacent parking space. So your setup has to be in the same parking spot as your car. I tow a trailer and take 1.5 spots. I tell them I drove two vehicles to the game and need two spots. So far just a sideways look and they leave. Tom |

Tailgating in the driveway sounds like the way to do it!
You'll be able to offer all your guests the comforts of home (such as a restroom, etc) during the tailgating session. And then, no matter how hammered everyone gets, your group can just walk to the game, then walk back and have a place to finish sobering up before they have to drive. That's how -I- see it anyways. -J |

It might ease up after things settle down. Today at my game, long story short I wound up waiting in the outdoor stairwells to keep out of the rain. The stairs overlooked the handicapped parking area. Something caught my eye and I realized that people were parked in handicapped and taking up the next space (or two) with their canopies and their other tailgating stuff. People who also had handicap rights kept driving by slowly looking for a spot. One guy finally got a group to move their stuff so they could squeeeeeze into the space. Then he helped his elderly passenger with double leg amputations into his wheelchair to go into the game. Imagine? Of all people, shouldn't the people who use handicapped parking know not to take up extra spaces?? It's a different matter from your situation where some people do wind up taking up extra spots. I don't understand why the police weren't right there writing tickets. See what you did, set me off. (laugh) nancy |

From Philly,??? I could've brought cheesesteaks. Turned out the kids went to town on the donuts. It was genuinely a grand time! I forget who the Giant's played or who won but I remember tailgating!!! First and only time! Best, Andy -- I'm no longer a danger to society. |

So in San Francisco, it's still going on at Candlestick (or whatever they've renamed it to this week), because the Niners still play there. Biasi is referring to the NY Giants. But in the Bay Area, the place to tailgate is the Coliseum before Raiders games. For some reason, Raider fans are into tailgating big time - there's great stuff every weekend out in that parking lot!
