Let’s play Corn Hole!
That’s Southern for bean bag toss
Gotta do some warm ups…
This is big at tailgate parties during football season, and great to play just about anywhere
The bags are full of dried beans or corn
When it’s your turn you get 4 bags to try to toss into the hole in the slanted boards
You have to develop your own technique and have a little attitude…
and develop a little tossing rhythm
Ready?
Dad is my coach…he built and painted the boards to match Gigi’s decor. My daddy is very smart…
These bags can get heavy
I’m starting to get hot and sweaty, ick…
Let’s take this silly hat off
You simply can’t play proper Corn Hole wearing a pink floppy hat!
Mom!
Get this thing offa me!
Okay, phew!
Now we’re talkin’!
I can really get into the game now!
Watch this!
Bull’s Eye!
Wanna play again?
Let’s go have some Coconut Shrimp with Raspberry Jalapeno and Orange Marmalade Sauce!
I have posted this before, but it is one of our very favorites and SO easy to make
It is CC’s mom’s and dad’s favorite
And perfect after a long hot game of Corn Hole!
Coconut Shrimp Tempura with Orange Marmalade Glaze
Ingredients
Coconut Shrimp
- 6-8 medium shrimp per person peeled and deveined
- 1 or more boxes Tempura batter I use McCormick
- shredded coconut
- peanut oil for frying
Orange Marmalade Glaze
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 2 dashes soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
Coconut Shrimp
- Make Tempura batter in a deep bowl according to directions on box [be sure to use ICE water, it’s the secret to the light batter]. 1 box makes enough batter for about 2 lbs shrimp.
- Put some coconut in another bowl, reserving some for adding later to keep the coconut dry.
- Dredge shrimp in batter and roll in coconut.
- Fry in batches in medium hot oil, about 400 degrees, 3-5 minutes, until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
Orange Marmalade Glaze
- Mix all ingredients together and taste. Add more soy or mustard if desired. Makes enough to serve 4-6. Increase amounts for more servings if necessary
