Planning Tailgating Parties?
The big win for Florida Gators during the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) early this year has spawned an avid wait for the new season's contest and fans aren't forgetting the whipping the Oklahoma Sooners suffered from their beloved Gators. They can't get over the 24-14 win of their football heroes and they're stilling toasting to the sweet victory with their loaded Flasks at every chance they get.
Now the Gators have to defend their second BSC trophy this year and you're already edgy for the next bout of face-offs. Visions of loud tailgating victory parties are dancing in your head; you want to give the best blow-out early next year with the best chow and ice-cold beer and an endless supply of whisky to fill up friends' Flasks.
This early, know where you can get the best seafood and meat for your bash. In Florida, there several farmers' markets. Test buys can prepare you for the real marketing for your super tailgate party. There's fresh fruit and veggies all year round and the marketing is fun and more engaging. For meats, try Chinatown or Kurwhichy.
The Simple the Menu, the Better for You
At tailgate parties, your guests don't expect a sit-down dinner. They expect tons of grilled burgers, spare ribs, shrimp, and chicken, with excellent veggies on the side. They expect the coldest packs of beer. While waiting for their chow, they'll content themselves with
the liquid fire in the Flasks and munch on nuts and appetizers, all the while putting in their two cent's worth of analysis of the game just played.
For your tailgate party, prepare munchies, gargantuan grilled steaks, cold salads, breads, hams, and some sweets. To wash them down, be ready with cartons of beer and bottles of the group's favorite elixir. No need for scotch glasses here and you can request your friends to bring along their Flasks for the whiskey because the beer guzzlers can have their beer straight from the can. Check with the stadium first if alcoholic drinks are allowed.
Don't waste your time agonizing over cordon bleu recipes. Stick to the basics of tender juicy grilled meats and seafood and complement these with a variety of sauces and dips. Stack all the marinated meats in a row. A bigger grill means more meats grilled at once so you have more time to enjoy your party with your guests and to toast to your victory with those Flasks.
These helpful tips will make your preparations a breeze and your outdoor party a success:
-- Choose food that can be cooked ahead.
-- Keep cold food cold and hot food hot to prevent food spoilage and food poisoning
-- Bring along foldable lounging chairs and picnic table
-- Use disposable plates and cups
-- Don't forget those paper towels, wet wipes, and trash bags
It's a good thing there are Flasks and beers in cans because you have to do a lot of washing up after your party. Don't these make a good mix with tailgate fun?
