I fully admit to stealing this gimmick from another blog (I think it was one that I encountered last year when looking for info on Tennessee), but I loved it so much I knew I had to steal it. And no, this doesn't apply to how I live my life in general, thank you very much.

Spartan Cheese

The Washington Post, March 12, 2008

Course: Appetizer, Snack
Features: Fast, Kid-Friendly, Meatless

Summary:

For best results, make sure the ingredients are at room temperature, and let the mixture chill for at least 1 hour for the flavors to develop. Serve with crackers or flatbread.

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients:

1 medium clove garlic, crushed
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese (do not use nonfat)
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt (may substitute low-fat sour cream)
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 1/4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, stemmed and coarsely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 to 3 scallions, white and light-green parts, coarsely chopped (1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon mint leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons oregano leaves, chopped
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cinnamon
Kosher salt (optional)

Directions:

Combine the garlic, cream cheese, yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice, parsley, scallion, mint, oregano, nutmeg and cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer or an electric hand-held mixer. Beat for about 3 minutes on low speed or until well combined; taste and add salt, if desired, blending by hand or on low speed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; serve chilled.

The ingredients are too much to read, can I get a bullet point summary?

I kissed Dumpster Muffin and I liked it. The taste of her hippie chapped lips.

finally, someone tells me what to bring for my tailgate!

this works out great as long as no one else from my tailgate reads this blog.

<phew!>

I was just thinking that I want to make it…I guess I’ll have to make something else. If I’m invited to your tailgate.

actually, my friend who reads this blog and goes to my tailgate has vetoed it. You’re TOTALLY welcome to come to my tailgate AND bring spartan cheese. I have to figure out where mine is and i’ll give you a call.

You know a CGB tailgate would be awesome...

In other words, Go Bears!

Here's how:

I give y’all the time and place. Y’all show up. I stay somewhere else, far away from y’all. Perfect!

I’m not sure it’d be too popular. I know a lot of people who have their own game day traditions and wouldn’t think of changing them. Plus, you really don’t want to see Twist and Maharg’s witty banter in person, do you? It’d hurt your brain.

So will ’SC be a shitburger?

Sounds good, but isn't

one of the ingredients supposed to be a Spartan or two?

I thought Tennessee’s blog had something about cooked Bear last year . . . no?

I just realized how many of our opponents this season are (fairly) common foods: (Maryland)Terrapin/turtle soup, CSU buffalo burgers, Beavers (Lewis and Clark ate lots of them on their trek), Ducks, Huskies (some people eat dogs), Wildcats (some people eat cats too), and even the Stanford Tree (coniferous trees tend to produce edible nuts eg: pine nuts) .

Do people eat bears (Bruins)? I know in Soviet Russia, bear eats you.

Sun Devils and Trojans don’t sound very appetizing.
