Tailgate Menu for Yale Game...

[coachcap]

It's been a while since we've had a breakfast tailgate!
Both teams colors are National Flag Blue & White with UConn having additional RED accents So Mrs. coachcap Decided:
Blueberry, raspberry, or blackberry (or combos) pancakes (Shoppers hint-this week at Stop & Shop all 3 are a 3 for mix & match sale)
-Breakfast sausages from Filipek's butcher shop of Meriden
-bacon
-cheesy potato casserole
-egg sandwiches on kaiser rolls
-apple cider
-apple cider doughnuts
-apple coffee cake
-Mimosas
-Bloody Marys
& BEER
(We MAY have some surprise last minute additions to the menu)

You should grab some hot dogs at the butcher shop and eat those just before entry. Nothing beats a good tailgate hot dog.

I am able to break the grill out tomorrow for the first time this season. Will emulate CoachCap and do a breakfast:

first course -- mini bagles and yogurt/granola/berry parfaits
main course -- french toast and bacon
beverages -- mimosas and beers

And my UConn loyalty is totally unaffected by the fact that they're playing a school I have a degree from.
