Due to a busy end of summer and a bit of traveling (oh, you know, just driving cross country), there has been a bit of neglect to OUAP operations. For that I apologize...though it's not for lack of material that's for sure. So stay tuned, I hope to get some of the orchard material up soon.
In the meantime though, it is football season. Therefore, it is tailgate season. Therefore, it is Christmas in September.
Except Santa's Sleigh is replaced by a heavy duty truck, his elves wear chef's hats, and the presents come smothered in barbecue sauce. And there's a chance the eggnog is replaced by rum punch and bloody mary's...
What can we say? 'Tis the season you know.

| Ah, the return of Bobby's Mystery Layer dip. |

 |
| ...smother with a cilantro/mint yogurt sauce... |
 |

 |
| Gimme more a that corn salad... |
 |
| Couldn't lose with any bite |
 |
| Mad Dog Approved. Now that's a good dish. |
 |
Another successful tailgate. Post-game the Pats attested their own win to the inspirational smells of success coming from our side of the parking lot.
What can we say? We do what we can. |
 |
Happy Elves.
