Coming Soon: #10DaysofTailgate

10645283_10152717638036948_3681468194145198563_nPlease forgive Saturday’s post of my pity party of funkness.  You’ll be happy to know that I am over my mood and part of that reason is a fun event coming soon to Eliot’s Eats and a host of other talented bloggers.

It is time to move on to an exciting party which will begin on September 20:   #10DaysofTailgate.   This party was conceived by Camilla at Culinary Adventures and ever since I signed up, I have been getting the most wonderful surprises in the mail, almost on a daily basis.

My first surprise was from Not Ketchup.  What a great product and a great concept.   You can check out all things about Not Ketchup at Erika’s (the founder’s)  Faceboogk page.    Wait for my use of the Cherry Chipotle sauce on a three-pepper burger (to post on September 28 as part of the #10DaysofTailgate.)

The next two items were received on the same day and The Hubs was super excited about them both.

First from ThermoWorks was the ThermoPop (in a lovely green color).   The ThermoPop is a digital thermometer that would definitely come in handing during tailgating season.   I can’t wait to use it.  (Jesse, the public relations & social media representative, also included a hand written note—you don’t see these too often anymore, do you?)   There will be much more about this item later.

The second package we opened (it felt like Christmas) was from Mr. Bar-B-Q.  I can see many, many uses for this Stainless Grilling Skillet w/removable handle.      (They also stuck in a package of Jelly Bellies—love it!)

The Hubs comment:  “They just sent this to you for free?”

My reply:  “Why, yes, blogging is finally paying off.”

This weekend, I ventured out to the mailbox to see what had arrived.   What to my wondering eyes did appear (notice I am continuing the Christmas present-theme here) but a bottle of Carrot Karma.   This is not your ordinary hot sauce.

Look for this to show up in featured recipe for #10DaysofTailgate.

My next surprise came just last night:   Fire Wire.    We already have a set of these and I love using them for kabobs.   They make grilling so much more flexible (pun intended) by creating more room on the grill.

So far, that is all I have to report.   There are lots of other sponsors for this event so please check them out from September 20-30.
