FOOD 'N FOOTBALL

Sunday is the Kick Off of the new 2009 Tennessee Titans football season and my Sundays are about to change dramatically. There are a few "Schmidt House" rules that go into effect not just game day, but game weekend. First of all, there's Saturday so we have the Big Orange to cheer on, so that day's pretty much shot as far as getting any work done. You see, anything I need done in or around the house must be finished by game time or more than likely, we wait until another day. Now Sunday rolls around and when the Titans win the rest of the day is joyous and smiles abound and any chores just comes easier. You know...not too much grumbling. HOWEVER, should the Titans lose, (God forbid!) well that's another story. Yes......the storm clouds roll in, the mood grows somber and there's a lot of muttering under one's breath as we go about dark and dismal lives.... Something like that.

I am not expected to cook on game day, but many times I do something easy or leave simmering for a couple of hours on the stove. Low maintenance. Or at least have some snacks available. You see, win or lose, life goes on and we must sustain ourselves even is times of woe. Eventually, even the defeated realize this and it's good to have a backup plan. Nothing gets you in the mood for Fall quite like good old tailgate food. Finger food with a purpose....I LOVE it!
