Draft menus/parties?


Recommended Posts

Anyone planning a certain menu for tonight or tomorrow night or doing a family or Zoom party? We have an annual party at a friends house on Day 2 of the draft and sucks that can’t happen this year. Although I will be able to pay better attention to the actual draft, so there is that.

Tonight is Sausage, peppers, and onions with tots and leftover Buffalo sauce for dipping and a nice glass of bourbon. Tomorrow is a fresh batch of wings and a 6 pack of Molson. I'll probably just be chilling in the shoutbox or playing a game while streaming the draft. 

 

After some contemplating I think I'm going to do avocado tequila ice cream with cinnamon sugar tortilla chips Saturday.

No party or Zoom, just started even watching the first round in the last 10 years or so. This year? Will watch every pick of every round!

 

Been waiting for today to fry up some wings, (Serious Eats confit style) and cast iron pan pizza. Start with 1/2 oz of garden salad so i can say i had something green!

 

Tomorrow will be pulled pork loaded nachos made on the egg...

 

No idea on Saturday yet

In the UK its the usual routine of trying to grab some sleep and then get up. The 1am start time is rough 

That would be a total DVR , watch in the morning without looking at your phone. I still; do this for West Coast games.

I can manage it for 1 day, although without the adrenaline rush of the Bills pick or a huge amount of big round 1 storylines, it might be tougher this year .

 

Day 2 isn't quite as bad as you can sleep in on Saturday. Day 3 is 6pm so becomes easier.

I have 3 people coming over and a zoom. We are smoking ribs, making rosemary roasted potatoes and a salad. We will start drinking Grapefruit Holy Roller IPA and Bulleit Bourbon. Then move on to the wine as I have a few nice bottles to crack (8 Years in the Dessert, Sexual Chocolate and Belle Gos Pinot Noir). The guys will watch the draft and include the dudes on the zoom call. The girls will sit around and talk about Vanderpump Rules and the most recent Taylor Swift song (or whatever girls talk about). I’m sure we will then be criticized for our draft obsession.

It'll be just the wife, my little guy, and me in the old man cave. We will be loading up on sausages, wings, pizza and of course beer! I always love draft day and getting together with fellow fans. We will set up a zoom this year but it just wont be the same in the cave.

Sweet TV set up. I agree it won’t be the same without my crew.

All trust...it’s a girl that I’m with most days and my buddy and his wife who I’ve seen about a dozen times since this started. They are pretty much the only people that I’ve been around. I figured that I bought the ribs so....

 

Liberate Louisiana!

I'm sorry Ms. Jackson... Already bought ribs! Never meant to make you go outside, I'll apologize a trillion times ?

Are you watching the draft, or relaying communications for Starfleet?

I don't play around, I'm going straight for the rectal temperature to be most accurate.

Suffice to say this will probably be the last time anybody wants to come over to my house after getting an anal probing with the neighbors watching?:cry:

Well on second thought, maybe this will persuade @teef to stop by!!:wub:

I know I have told you this before but I love your setup, well done sir!  That is a gambling man's paradise, 6 screens on one wall, I love it.  Enjoy with the little guy & the Mrs. tonight.

I have actually been watching what I eat & trying to cut down on the drinking since this whole mess started.  Been walking a ton.  Figure might as well lose some weight in this whole mess.  But.....since this maybe the only live sporting event we get to see until further notice, I decided to go on a nice 3 day bender.  Going to cook a pizza on grill tonight, deep fry some wings tomorrow & grab myself a few lobster tails & ribeyes Saturday.  Also I am going to drink as many beers as humanly possible.  Starts for me as soon as I log off of work at 4 this afternoon.  Looking forward to it

 

 

BTW, I never realized what a degenerate gambler I am until it has been taken away from me.  I feel like a loss soul with nothing to gamble on.  I may do something I never do & throw some bets on the draft tonight.

We've had a draft keg party for 7 yrs now that would include dinner, snacks, drinks, beer on tap, and some draft drinking games. The games would mainly be for trades and if you called a pick right, etc. Not a lot into it that because we would all be congregating and having a good time. This year will be a little different...

 

We're going to have a telecom along with a drinking game catered to the virtual draft. Because we're all isolated and in our homes we won't have to worry about drinking and driving...but you may fall on your way to bed :)

 

Here's the rules:

  1. Draft pick glitch - 1 shot
  2. Trade - Chug a beer
  3. Pick the pick (1st to call it) - chose a person to take a shot
  4. Call a trade (1st to call it) - choose a person to chug a beer or take a shot with
  5. Commentators glitch - chug a beer
  6. Team misses pick due to technical difficulties - we all take a double shot

 

*Note: You can substitute a shot with a full beer, wine cooler, or mixed drink. You can substitute a beer with a wine cooler, mixed drink, or a shot.

Well seeing as how you can’t count to 5, it’s a wonder you don’t own Vegas! ( unless there is a tv I can’t see in that picture)

Haha! my bad, although that may explain why I get my ass handed to me in Black Jack every time I go to Vegas.  I am a banker but I never said I was a good banker.
