The Fantasy line-up is set. The jersey perfectly rumpled. The beer cold. The chips and dip aplenty. Dish with clear line of sight of the southern sky – for maximum Sunday ticket reception.
It’s here dear friends. The day of days… NFL FOOTBALL!!!
In football, as in life, we can’t know where we’re going, until we look at where we’ve been. This year, Touchdown Thursday promises to bring you the best of the best in drinks, dips, desserts, meat, and everything in between for your perfect tail-gaiting/football fare.
Tomorrow marks my official kick-off, but since the NFL didn’t seem to care that I have a schedule to keep, I’m using today to take a trip down memory lane, a look-back at last year’s delicious treats.
Your 2011 Touchdown Thursday Recap
Porter Braised Pulled-Pork Sandwiches with Grilled Cornbread and Horseradish Sauce
Fried Macaroni & Cheese with Spicy Pimento Alfredo Sauce
Jalapeno Lime Marinated Cheese Salad
Crab Rangoons with Spicy Apricot Dipping Sauce
Caramelized Onion Dip with Bacon and Gruyere
And these guys weren’t in the official line-up last year, but they’ve been around for a minute and should definitely make their way onto your roster.
Blazing Buffalo Chicken Nachos
Tequila Lime Grilled Fruit Salsa
Beer-Boiled Soft Pretzels with Beer Dip Two Ways

Oh, and that handsome guy in the football get-up… My grandfather, Reno. What a stud!
