It was a beautiful day on the Plains yesterday for the Auburn/LSU ball game. The weather was perfect, and we had lots of shade under a big Magnolia tree. It's always fun having Casey and John there and all of their friends and family around. (We missed you, Anna and Zach!)
We did a Low Country Shrimp Boil in the afternoon before the game -- and it was so good. Actually, it was easier than grilling -- thanks to Tyler's big pot and cooker! Yum! (I've added the recipe here.) John's sister Dana and his mom Kay stopped by with Dana's kids Lang and Landon. They have grown so much -- and it was our first time to see Landon. They are both so cute!
Although we had to suffer the agony of defeat, it was a close game and Auburn played better than I had expected. We were on our feet almost the whole game - and I'm hoarse today from yelling too much! But games are fun because we've gotten to know the people who sit around us over the years and it's like family up there -- did I mention that we sit on the TOP row of the upper deck? Oh well, War Eagle anyway -- as we used to say in the 70's!
Since it was 2:30 a.m. when we got home (I hate those night games) -- we took it easy today to recouperate! And it's back to work tomorrow.
LOW COUNTRY BOIL
18 little red potatoes, cleaned
2 lbs. Polish sausage, cut up into sm. chunks
1 doz. 3 inch ears frozen corn
4-5 lbs. raw shrimp in shell
Prepare a large pot of salted water and add 1 pkg. Zataran's Crab Boil. Bring to boil. Add little red potatoes, boil 6 minutes. Add corn and sausage. Boil 12 minutes. Add shrimp, boil 2 minutes, remove and drain. (This works good if you have a strainer pot to go inside the big pot; then you can just lift out to drain.) Pour pot contents into big tub or container.
