Caleb, Kyle and Chris are going to have a cook out at Duane'sfor a tailgate party for one of the first football games of theseason. It's sunny and hot for the noon game - definitely notfootball weather yet, but it's always a great time to hang out andeat some good food. Duane, of course is grilling chicken. Calebmade mac and cheese - so ooey and gooey - and hot, like it had justcome out of the oven. Kyle stopped at the store on the way andbought chips and pop, and Chris made loaded baked potato salad -like regular potato salad, only better because it has bacon in it!They have everything set up out in the back yard - they even gotthe TV out there. Duane keeps cooking chicken as the guys want more- he is very proud of the new thermometer he just got, but Caleb'smac and cheese is the first to disappear - before the end of thefirst quarter! After the 3rd football game thatnight the guys cleanup and Chris takes the rest of his potato salad home. He finisheseating it before going to bed. The next morning early Chris awakenswith abdominal cramps and runs to the bathroom to vomit and hasdiarrhea. In the midst of all this he feels chilled and realizes hehas a slight fever.
