An INSIDE Tailgating Party

HELLO, ALL...
One of the things I just love about blogging is that a lot of us
LOVE PLAYING........

it might be playing-like we are having a dinner party and we set beautiful tables....


it might be playing-like we are having a fine, HIGH TEA and we bring out our
beautiful tea pots, dainty cups and make a lovely treat to "serve our guests"....
I do indeed LOVE TO PLAY....
always have....
and I refuse to grow up to the point that I don't want to PLAY anymore.

"We don't quit playing because we grow old...
We grow old because we quit playing."  
 


SOOOO.....
I had an inside
" PLAY-LIKE"
TAILGATING PARTY.....
a few yrs back for our HOME FELLOWSHIP GROUP...

Barbecue BAKED BEANS...
I like a sweet barbecue sauce
and could actually DRINK this whole bottle of
SWEET BABY RAY...

"The Sauce is the
Boss"
Now, I've heard it said and I believe it's true...
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN is the REAL "BOSS"....ya'll....  


 This particular recipe called for
PORK AND BEANS
BACON
CANNED FRIED ONION RINGS
from PLAIN CHICKEN
blog...
and they were DELISH...!!


 This recipe for CLUB SANDWICH PUFFS
also came from PLAIN CHICKEN.






I used PEPPERED SMOKED TURKEY

and you can go to her site, search these recipes and find them in a flash.

We dipped these in
Honey Mustard......

and they are sooo tasty.




All tailgating parties have
SLIDERS....

and so do we....

These are whole wheat slider buns...

Honey Ham slices...

3 different kinds of cheese...

Drizzle POPPY SEED DRESSING on the inside, over the ham and cheese.

Just before sliding the SLIDERS into the oven a few minutes before serving,
melt a small amount of butter and mix with a nice amount of POPPY SEED DRESSING
and brush on tops of buns.
...just get them warm enuf to melt the cheese and
YOU'RE  GOOD  TO  GO.....





 If you've not tried THESE chips, you are in for a treat...

so flavorful....and 40% less fat  !!

...gotta love that..:)




We had chips of all kinds...
the BEST CHEESE QUESO  brought by a sister friend,
of which I didn't get a photo.....
but, even worse....
I didn't get the recipe....BUMMER
*


Dessert...always desserts...
I have to tell you, I am sooo glad there's 
BLACK JACK CHERRY
SMOOTH & CREAMY
FROZEN YOGURT...
Oh Honey




Huge BLACK CHERRIES...along with those delish SWIG SUGAR COOKIES...
(cookies in the photo have a green cast that I have no idea why...)



 BEST LEMON BARS....

again...I didn't get the recipe...
SORRY ! ...
seems all I did was....

EAT..!!
SO... get your play clothes on and
 COME OUTSIDE AND....PLAY

  24. Never too old to play house. We all do it ... some better than others. The club sandwich puffs look so good. Would love to try those.
    In fact, everything looks good.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I agree re: playing....and laughing! I think it's imperative to do both OR as Jimmy Buffett says, "We'll all go insane!" :) Your table and the food looks delish, as usual.

    Your assignment, should you decide to accept, is to find the recipe for Queso and share! Always enjoy trying a new one.

  28. I tend to drool when I see posts like this. So yummy looking.

  29. Definitely, playing keeps you youthful! Your food is always so different. I've lived most of my life between coastal California and the Arizona desert, and my parents were from New England, so your dishes seem very unusual.

  30. Beautiful table, my friend. I always wish I could just drop by and taste your wonderful foods!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
