Football Cheese ball

Using a pre-made cheese ball or making one from scratch, form the well chilled cheese mixture into the shape of a football and coat with chopped nuts. Use green pepper strips to create laces on the football.

Deep Dish Burrito Football Field

Its almost too amazing to eat! Almost. Create a football field on top of a deep dish burrito using guacamole for the field and sour cream for the side lines and end zones. Place a jalapeno pepper at the 50 yard line for a football and garnish the side lines and end zones with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, olives and tortilla chips.

Football Field Cake

The color red is universal for fire, heat, passion, love, romance and even anger. This is why it is no accident that a red (ruby ring) is often a token given on Valentine’s Day. Words are not needed to express his love and affection because that ring says it all.

Origins

The stones in a (ruby tennis bracelet) may have come from Myanmar, formerly called Burma, or from the newest deposits discovered in Tanzania. Other mine deposits are located in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kenya. The mine location can be discovered simply by the color of the stone. For example, the most coveted shade of blood red comes from Myanmar. It is commonly known as the Burmese variety.

Physical attributes

This gemstone is second only to the diamond in durability. Along with the sapphire, it ranks a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness and that’s not all it has in common with the blue stone either. A (ruby pendant) is actually a red sapphire. Both gemstones have the exact same chemical make-up of beryllium, aluminum; oxygen and silicon which makes them part of the corundum family.

The only difference is that to get the red color, trace particles of chrome are present. It was decided that instead of changing its name to red sapphire, which would not go over well with avid fans, it retains its individualism. All other colors are sapphires.

Special occasions

On every birthstone, mystical and healing chart, the (ruby birthstone) represents July. It is also the precious gem that commemorates the 40th wedding anniversary. Of course, anytime a man wants to let his affections be known, a special piece of red jewelry always does the trick.

A bit of trivia

Because the color red has such bold connotations, it isn’t surprising that some cultures believe this gemstone will ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer from their enemies. In India, they so revered this stone that it received a heroes’ welcome every time a new stone of notable size and quality was discovered.

Caring for precious stones

Because these gems are so durable, they are easy to clean and wear. While it is possible to crack them if they are filled with inclusions, they are very resistant to damage. Soaking them in warm soapy water and brushing with a toothbrush works great at home. Using an ultrasonic cleaner or steam cleaner also brings back the shine. (Ruby jewelry) just has a look of strength and passion about it. It exudes confidence and power that can rub off on person wearing it.
