Looks like you had a great time! I wish our tailgates had such a great spread.
I just started reading your blog and am interested in why you do not eat onions.
Thanks for all the great food and recipe ideas!

haha. the bricky. my sales trader coverage in Hong Kong reads your blog and knew that I went to Davidson…. Yes, although the brickhouse was not in existance when I spent my 4 years there, I’ve grown quite fond of it. Please try the quesadillas next them. chicken… they are not on the menu, but they are very delectable. That and the Brickhouse Red. yes. yum.

Cute aviator sunglasses! Fball spread looks fantastic (umm and pretty gourmet for a tailgate, I agree!)

Shannon,
It’s not that bad for me – mostly when it comes to bugs. But I could never get in a sleeping bag head first…

That all looks like so much fun, but what on earth is a scuffin?

tricks for the creamiest hummus ever: lots of tahini, use super soft chickpeas (cooked fresh from dried is best, but you can re-boil canned for a few minutes too), and to remove as many of the skins as possible (rub a them with your fingers while under water. they just slide off and you can skim them off the surface)

looks like you guys had a great time! that pizza looks amazing.

I also suffer from claustrophobia and when I realized that it was starting to impact my life, I decided enough was enough. When I visited SF with my husband, I purposely went to the tactile dome at the exploratorium. It was either that or pay a therapist a lot of money to eventually do the same thing. Anyway, it didn’t cure me, but it made me a lot more confident. I will no longer allow myself to sit in certain seats in meetings so I am closer to the door and stuff like that. The more I do stuff that makes me uncomfortable the less I feel the phobia has a hold over me. Anyway, my whole point is, if we want to get over your phobias, we have to face your fears.
