Homecoming Tailgate Party

Saturday, September 24, 2011

UNO's Football Homecoming is becoming one of my yearly favorite parties! Most of the Departments, Colleges, Schools, Fraternities, and Sororities participate!! My guess is that over 400 people showed up for this event!! That is a great following for a University Club Football tailgate party.

OK, about the food!! .... Above, Ms Pamela Meyer, Director of Alumni Affairs folds the pot of Jambalaya that I cooked for the alums!

My College of Engineering had our gas powered daiquiri blender mixing up "Frozen Big Blues! I also cooked down some creamy Red Beans and Rice with Tasso and Smoked Sausage. Interim Dean Norma Jean Mattei (Left and behind her husband Rick Mattei). Right, Ms Cheryl Champagne whips up a batch.

Both Student Affairs and the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism had food for everyone. BTW, HRT had fantastic "Make Your Own" pulled pork sandwiches!

Bryan Glorioso, President of the UNO International Alumni Association brought over his "La Caja China" Cuban style infrared pig roasting box. They even had all the fixings of Mustard Greens and Coleslaw!

The pig came out a beautiful golden brown!

They even did a Smoke Roasted Whole Lamb!!!

Done to a PERFECT medium rare!! WOW

The Greeks were well represented!!

Mr. Lee LaFleur cooked a "Touchdown" Jambalaya for Theta Xi Alumni Association!

Left, the guys from Sigma Epsilon smoke roasted Jeagermiester/Root Beer Center Cut Pork Loins! The guys again invited us to eat some of their boiled shrimp!

Big and spicy, with plenty of corn potatoes and boiled sausage.

Truck bed lined with a tarp and filled with water!!

Student Hot Tub!

We were entertained throughout the day by the band, "61 South" Old School Southern Rock!
