Tailgating in My Kitchen

(Excerpt: From My Kitchen, The Auburn Villager, September 1, 2011)

"Tailgating doesn't have to be limited to the stadium or even watching the game at home. Once in a while, we find it just plain old fun to do something whimsical for our every day meals, which is exactly what I did. Our kitchen table is now all decked out in the Auburn tradition. A leather tiger tangled in pom poms form the centerpiece. Orange placemats with orange and blue napkins secured by customized napkin rings sporting glittery letters of “AU” leaves no doubt who we will be pulling for this season. Tiger chargers serve as place holders for good things to come. And, blue stemware round out the four place settings at my kitchen table."
