A Sprinkle of This and That: Buffalo Fries

Growing up, I lived a block or so away from the high school athletic field. On Friday nights, I remember hearing the announcer comment on the plays, the bright lights and the exciting cheers from the crowd. I couldn't wait to be a part of being in the stands!
My dad is a huge football fan and Sundays were filled with all of us watching the Miami Dolphins. Due to all that football exposure, I have very fond memories of football season and, to this day, love to watch the game. Now, it's football weekend with Friday night at the high school game, Saturday watching college football and Sunday with Da Bears. But one of the best parts of watching the game is all the snacks whether you are eating them at home in front of the tv or outside tailgating before the game. In either case, snacks and football kind of go hand in hand. With that in mind, let me introduce you to...
