This past fall I had to get back to the basics in tailgating, I only wish I had gotten a
back to the basics toaster for the entire football season!
I took a road trip up to South Bend to watch the
IRISH play and get back on track by toasting the
Spartans!The tailgate was awesome, we started out by doing a little kegs and eggs using a
toaster with egg cooker! Great start to the morning, with some farm fresh eggs and two slices of wheat toast! We debated over the toaster with egg cooker versus the egg n muffin toaster, but the toaster with egg cooker won out! Needed a little more sustenance on a day like that.
Next we moved on to the real deal with some brats and sausages! Here's where it got a little crazy...ever had a brat cooked in a toaster?!?!? My friend's dad had the best two slice toaster I've ever seen! He toasted the bun in one slot and stuck the brat in the other! Now that's innovation!
By this time I was getting toasted, like you had stuck me in a 4-slice toaster!!! I had tapped the Rockies a few times at this point, if you know what I mean.
This was when I noticed the Michigan State fans using a
"Hello Kitty Toaster Oven" at the tailgate next to me. NO COMMENT.
Then it was game time...the band, the gold helmets, J.C. looking down on us! Oh baby! I stopped at the concession stand to grab a bottle of water, and I noticed they not only had a classic toaster behind the counter, but they also had a couple of commercial bagel toasters. ND really knows how to do it!!
Moving into the last few minutes of the game, I thought he IRISH might be toast again....then the real J.C. (#7), hooked up with Golden Toast (Tate) for a big score on a 33 yard pass! Here we go! My pulse jumped, my heart skipped a beat. Then I might as well have shoved a toaster down my throat, as the Spartans started to drive down the field. Not this again! With just about a minute left, my boy Kyle snatched the ball out of the sky for the big interception....and an IRISH victory!
I have changed McCarthy's nickname to Gold Toaster!
After the game I celebrated with a few more libations and decided to go back to the
classic toaster for one more round of food.
Nothing better than getting back to the basics! We turned Sparty into a piece of burnt toast!
I already can not wait till next season starts, I'm going to take a
green toaster oven for good luck! Not like we'll need it though.
GO IRISH!!
