Longhorn in Paradise

With the Hurricane looming over the state of Texas like a giant C. Montgomery Burns to Texas' Homer Simpson, the Texas Longhorn's game vs. their archrival (at least from the days of the Southwest Conference) was postponed until 9/27. Quite a bummer since the weather ended up being nice in Austin on Saturday, but it provided the Knights an opportunity to have our first football watching party of the young season.

See, on the rare occassions we are home during the college football season (we are normally in Austin, Dallas or (at least last year) in LA), we like to make Saturday an all day sporting event. With the first kick-off at 11am and the last whistle blowing at around midnight, there is plenty of action to keep even the novice football enthusiast on the edge of their respective seats.

So, as it was yesterday, we sent out the word that we would be on our patukisis all day watching the games, come one, come all and join us. It would turn out that we would have a series of guests showing up and staying for a grand total of 12 hours of football watching and friend hosting. 11am through 11pm baby. Now, THAT is what I call a good day (unlike the VERY relaxing sounding day of the Brown matriarchy)! Lots of beer drinking (later, Screwdriver drinking) and good food. Kat made her famous pulled pork sandwiches with her homemade bbq sauce. Tasty as always. She also made some white bean dip and guacamole for everyone to nosh on throughout the day. Tres magnifique!

For those of you not fortunate enough to join us, I will share some pics of the event. Some of these were taken by Liska and some by me...she is turning into quite the young shutter bug.
