T Stands for Hockey Weekend

Happy Tuesday and another week of T. I always look forward to Tuesdays and seeing what everyone has to share for T over at  Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog .

This week I will share some photos from this past weekend. It was hockey weekend for me!

So some of you who've read my blog for awhile know that my husband and I enjoy our college's  men's ice hockey team. Not only is it usually a good game and a good way to keep our school spirit alive all these many years since we graduated, but it's a fun and  inexpensive night out.

Back in 1999 our University (Maine) was in the  National Championship game against the neighboring state (New Hampshire). The game went into overtime and  the first team to score would be the winner. Maine ended up being the winner and that started this huge  rivalry between our 2 universities.

We now live in new Hampshire and our daughter went to our state University. It was there she met her beau. This year the 2 games were being held New Hampshire (they alternate each year where they are held) which is only about a half an hour away from where we live. Friday night we went with my daughter and her beau to the game. Before the game we went out to dinner at a restaurant near the university.

 I enjoyed a local beer called "Old Brown Dog" with my yummy and warm (on a very cold night) chicken pot pie dinner.

It was a lot of fun going out with my daughter and her beau, including our little family rivalry. This time the game went to New Hampshire which they won in overtime, but that was nice for my daughter and her beau. Not so much for my husband who was hoping for the win. He's thinking of points to make it into the playoffs in another month.

Saturday night there was game 2 of the series. This time we went with a good college friend and his wife, as well as my sister-in-law and her husband. 

Before this game we did dinner again.

We were set to meet at a local pub style restaurant, but when we got there there were no tables available for 6 people. Since it was about 2 hours before the game chances are nothing was going to open up and still give us time to eat and then to walk up the game. So we went wandering looking for a place to eat. My husband was rooting for pizza, but that place was also full. My sister-in-law said there was a Thai place around the corner, which we all wanted except my husband. Asian food is not his thing, but they had a  big table in a quiet alcove so we could talk  so Thai food it was. (I love it so I was a happy!)

 We started off having some Sam Adams beer, but then we found out that we had ordered the last 5 bottles they had so for drink 2 we switched to some Asian brews. (Two drinks means a before dinner drink and a with dinner drink.)

 We all had water after that. 

I had a delicious cracker chicken dish.

 And my husband "suffered" through a noodle dish.

And then it was off to the game.

This time the game was a much better played game by both teams which made it more exciting. And to top it off, our team won! 

My husband was definitely more excited than he was Friday night.  And me too, actually. But most important was the fun and the people we spent the weekend with.

Hope I didn't bore you too much with my weekend dinners. 

Wishing you all a happy T day and thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.
