A Low Country Boil for Tailgating
 |
| Tailgate at Clemson vs. Georgia Tech game |
I have been tailgating at Clemson for YEARS and thought I had seen it all. At the Georgia Tech game, however, I passed something really interesting – a low country boil simmering under a custom-made screen. A group of mostly engineers, some from Clemson’s class of 2008, were getting ready to eat. I lived in Charleston, SC for a couple of years, so the low country boil was nothing new… but in Clemson’s Lot 2 during tailgating? THAT was new. Leave it up to an engineer to build the perfect counter-height frames. Typically a low country boil includes sausage, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and seafood seasoning.

They poured the contents of the huge pot onto the screen and this group from mostly Charleston, SC and Charlotte, NC dug in.

... Speaking of engineers, years ago we had a neighbor who had an annual house-party with his engineering buddies. As a practical joke, they re-wired several of the switches in our friend’s house so that the next morning, he turned on the switch for the garbage disposal and the lights in the den turned on. When he turned on the switch for the ceiling fan in the bedroom, the lights in the kitchen turned on. (etc.) They thought it was absolutely hysterical – because it was.
... and that's my 2 cents' worth, Cheryl
