Tailgating Anyone?

Football Season's Here
Fall's the season for professional, college, amateur, and youth gridiron football. While many enjoy watching the game, an equal number consider tailgating an integral part their overall football game experience. Here's a pair of great books to help you enjoy the season:

Steven Travers' Pigskin Warriors: 140 Years of College Football’s Greatest Traditions, Games, and Stars examines how the college sport developed and the influence its had and retains on popular culture. Photographs enhance the text. Travers’ detailed analysis of the game makes for a great sports history read and we'd be remiss if we didn't add... Go UCONN!

Fan Fare: A Playbook of Great Recipes for Tailgating or Watching the Game at Home by Debbie Moose is a treasure chest of tasty recipes, and a fun book for browsing as well. Chapters feature recipes organized by football (or soccer) friendly topic: Kickoff, Bowl Games, Hot Streak, Main Courses, Pit Stops, and Overtime. Menus for every occasion come with extra points tips, to make preparing the food easier. Even the recipe titles are fun.

Bon appetite and if you're looking for a good gridiron DVD, click on over to the library's Movies & Music Blog...
