{football friday} summer salsa
Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 8:38PM Yeah, I know... "technically" it's Thursday, and there's a game on tonight... But I figure this post is going out late enough that by the time the world views it, ('cause my subscription list is that long... you know that, right?) it will be Friday.
And we will be just hours away from the official start of the season that overtakes this household year after year.
Fall.
Football.
I've said before to both family and friends... and now to you loyal blog buddies... my husband will watch football no matter who the team is, where they are playing and what's at stake. We've stood on the sidelines at a neighborhood field watching pee-wee football on a Saturday morning...
...and neither of our kids were playing.
...and we didn't know anyone who was.
I kid you not.
In fact, we had no reason to be there, other than my husband's need to fill just a few more hours of daylight with some football. So when the season kicks off, I mean it when I say it is literally wall-to-wall coverage around here... and frankly, I don't mind. There are worse TV addictions (yes, Jersey Shore fans... I'm talking to you.)
My favorite part of the season?
My team winning, of course.
My 2nd favorite part of the season?
The food.
I love when the opportunity arises for true tailgating with friends. Sadly, those days are few and far between. Most of the time we are now bound to the home front with table-gating as our main option. The Summer Salsa shown below has been making the carpet picnic rounds for many seasons. It's a tried and true favorite. Make it. I promise you will like it.
What about you?
Football fan or casual observer?
Any favorite gameday grub that is a MUST on your table?
