Sunday Football Get-together

The Dillons and the Willoughbys started a tradition of Sunday football get-togethers when we were all living in Oxford. Thankfully, the Willoughbys escaped, but the tradition continues.
We traveled to Matt and Mary Ann's weekend before last for a great day of cooking out and football watching, and today, Matt, Mary Ann and Nathan traveled to Hernando for Sunday lunch and football.
Charles and I decided to serve a Sunday lunch rather than cooking out, so we served bar-b-qued baked chicken, Ma's baked beans, creamed potatoes, rolls and brownies with ice cream, and for even more of a twist, I decided to use our Vietri cucina fresca rather than pottery today...
We had a great time and a good visit.
Unfortunately, today Brett Favre tied Dan Marino's record. For those of you who know Charles, you know that he is a Dolphin, and especially a Marino fan...and you also know how Charles feels about Conference USA, Southern Miss football and Brett Favre (he definitely doesn't think any of them are TTT). Well, Matt went to Southern for undergrad, and both he and Mary Ann are from the Hattiesburg area, so I guess you can all just imagine the shenanigans that ensued after it was announced that Favre had tied the record and during Marino's comments following the game!
I had the best time holding and playing with Nathan all afternoon, and as you can see, he too, was closely watching all the plays...

That meal sounds like what your grandmother made every Sunday! You know I love nostalgia.

1 more TD and Marino's record is just a footnote in history.
