So the votes are in - it was a very, very close battle. But by a slight margin ... Tera is the winner of battle garlic.
Tera submitted a garlic pretzel bits & dip dish. The pretzels were very flavorful and super crunchy. Many women were going back for seconds and thirds - no worries about garlic breath in the crowd. Everyone wondered how Tera got her pretzels so crunchy - Tera what is your secret?
Stacie's snack was garlic oyster crackers. These were great too - especially when eaten by the handful, as many loyalists did. The lemon & dill flavors really added a special touch. Matthew & Sophie were big fans of the oyster crackers. Stacie provided extra seasoning packets too - Matthew's excited to have a new afternoon snack this week.Also - a special thanks to Tera - who had a very creative box. Matthew & William were very excited to see the Packer/Struble Suds decorated box. Although the decoration did not influence the judges - it was very thoughtful and greatly appreciated by the Struble household.
Did I mention that today was the first Struble Suds tailgate of the season!!!Yes, we gathered outside on a beautiful afternoon before the start of the Packer game. Besides our delicious garlic snacks, we had brats, sausage, beans, pasta salad - and beverages too. Some even practiced cornhole for next week's Struble Suds Cornhole tournament.
Thanks everyone for a great football day. And a special thanks to Tera and Stacie. Job well done Super Bowl Contestants. You can feed us anytime.

Cristine... thanks for the great summary of Football Snack Throw Down. The treats sounded yummo. Competition is stiffing.
What will next Friday's secret ingredient be? Find out on Friday.
Although the pictures don't show it, there were approximately 15 people at the tailgate party. Plenty of comments on the snacks by all. I would also like to point out that both snacks referenced the beloved Packers upon arrival, but those darn Packers didn't come through. Oh well, it is just a game and there is always next week.
Way to be a good sport, Matt. Thanks again for hosting our Countdown to the Super Bowl. Last week were two of our most fierce competitors.
Next week... Nicole and Julie!
P.S. Your gold star is in the mail.
