Convincing Win

Woohoo!!!!

Let’s Go!

Hokies!

 

Man, what a game! It was seriously pouring here (and at the stadium) for the ENTIRE game, but what a great win for us.

This game was probably one of our toughest of the season going into it, especially with all the hype about Miami, but we played so well. I’m so happy for our team – everything just went well…offense, defense, and special teams.

Can you tell I’m excited?  :)

I had a little banana bread to hold me over until the game started – we didn’t want to pull out the “real football game snacks” until the game actually  started.

One of Nick’s labmates/co-workers made this banana bread and brought it to his defense yesterday – it’s so good! Not too sweet, and lots of walnuts.

Nick and I had some snacks during the first half of the game to hold us over until dinner.

Celery, carrots + 3-layer Trader Joe’s hummus.

TJ’s blue tortilla chips + TJ’s green salsa.

And beer, duh.

It’s football day!

I found this today in the store – good! It’s a darker wheat beer, so I got a few for me to try since I like wheat beers a bit more than Nick does.

Once it was halftime, I started working on dinner.

I cooked some chicken drumsticks in the oven that were basted with a mixture of:

  • Country Bob’s BBQ sauce
  • Apricot preserves
  • Spicy Mustard
  • Garlic powder
  • Crushed red pepper

I baked them at 375 for about an hour or so until they were done.

I also roasted some cubed potatoes and heated up the last of our leftover broccoli.

Perfect football day meal.

I’m thinking that either leftover chocolate chip cookies or some ice cream might happen later….maybe both? Who knows  :)
