Growing up, the Arkansas Razorback-Texas Longhorn game was THE game of the year, when both were in the (now defunct)Southwest Conference. My family always got together to watch it, partly because it was the only Razorback game other than a bowl game that was televised. I can remember we always had beef stew and chili, along with all the trimmings..crackers and cheese, cornbread, chips and dips and desserts. Remember, this was the days before crock pots, so it had to be something that could simmer all day and stil be good to eat at halftime!
Now we're thinking about having a watch party for the upcoming Razorback/Longhorn game and if we can have it, we'll have basically the same menu! It's not the rivalry it used to be, but it's still fun! Here's what I'm planning:
*Touchdown Tamale Dip and tortilla chips
*Leftover Longhorn Beef Stew
*Whoo Pig Soiee Chili
*Celebration Sundae bar (make your own sundaes)
*Bobby Patrinos (actually, these will be Arnold Palmers, half iced tea, half lemonade, but renamed in honor of Arkansas' new head coach!)
Lots of red and white decorations, banners and pompoms!!
We are not sure we're going to be able to do this due to some unexpected events in our life, but we're hoping!!
