TEXAS IS GOING TO THE BCS CHAMPIONSHIP! TEXAS DID IT (again)! THEY DID IT! WOOT AND HOOK’EM!
Alright, enough of that. If you couldn’t tell, I’m a Texas Ex (and damn proud of it), and with UT going to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, this requires a “Celebration Station” watching party! Within this blog post you will find Mixers & Fixers, food ideas, and games to play while watching the BIG ONE!
Mixers & Fixers
I know I know, you’re not a true Texan if you don’t drink beer while watching football. I got it. BUT I got a mixed drink that will knock the socks of your Lone Stars, Shiners, and Miller Lites AND it comes in an O-R-A-N-G-E Bottle! Born and brewed in the Lone Star State (deep in the heart of it). It’s the one and only MANGO Green Tea. Mix this little puppy with some Tito’s Vodka and you have yourself an Orange cocktail that will have you cheering all night long! IT’s called the TEXAS TUMBLE!
Healthy Burnt Orange Snacking
Now that the game is far away, you won’t have to freeze your buns off on the back of some pick-up truck to enjoy it. Bring the tailgate home, doing this gives you some of the amenities that a tailgate doesn’t have. Let me list them for you.
- Heater or A/C
- A bathroom — that isn’t dropped off by a truck called the “Honeypot”
- Leather recliners/couches/bean bag chairs
- a REAL kitchen
Anyway, back to my point. You can make food items at your House-Gating © (copywriting that phrase) party that you couldn’t in a parking lot.
I have designed an awesome snack and salad to make for your House-Gate © (<==Ha)
Tried and True Spicy Texas Salad (by Danny Witte)
Chop up a head of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and green olives. Place in bowl and toss. THEN pour on some good old Homemade Ranch salad dressing. NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE! DUMP SOME SNYDERS BUFFALO PRETZELS on that ranch and toss again. It will turn the Ranch Orange and BLOW UP YOUR TASTE BUDS*. See below for demonstration of experience. (*Taste experience may differ per user.)
OR for a REALLY TASTY TREAT, eat them plain. They are one of the best inventions since Sweet Leaf Tea and Flush-able toilets. They look like this!!!
2 Games to play while the game is on. They are completely different in all shapes and forms.
Easy responsible game:
Drink all of your TEXAS TUMBLE every time Alabama Scores. You may have one drink by the end of the night.
AWESOME FUN TIMES GAME:
Drink all of your TEXAS TUMBLE every time TEXAS scores. This may leave you incapacitated. I would recommend stopping after 5. Don’t drink and drive. Seriously. But this might not be a problem if you’re having a House-Gating © event at YOUR HOUSE! Bonus points!
Enjoy the game, Hook’em Horns and Happy New Year.
HA! You scare me w/your crazy love for the Snyder’s Buffalo Pretzels.
People, be safe tomorrow night!
Those must be the tastiest croutons ever! Quit hoarding all of them in your desk @sweetleafdanny and share with the rest of us!
I’m so glad that @sweetleafdanny’s desk is next to mine- his snack food rocks!
Oh, and by the way, Hook ‘em!
