Remember back during Christmas when we did the 12 Days of Christmas Carol Trivia? That was pretty fun, so we're going to do it all summer long ... on Tuesdays.
Here's how this is going to work. Because Tuesday is the day when new music and DVD's get released, we're going to tie trivia to that so that you'll have some framework for my question's origin. But I'm not going to frame the question so that you'll just be able to look up new releases and find the answer. I can hopefully make it a bit trickier than that.
The Texas Rangers drubbed the Chicago White Sox, 10-6, on Tuesday night, using a 6-run 6th inning to get the deal done. I like this for several reasons, mostly because it gets the Rangers one win closer to however many wins it will take to make the playoffs.
For the purposes of this blog, however, the most important item of note is that the Rangers scored seven or more runs, kicking in a Papa John's offer. When the Rangers score 7 or more runs, Papa John's patrons can plug in the code Rangers7 in the promotional-code box and get 50 percent off the cost of their total order.
In the interest of not burying the lead, I'm going to put this offer right up front and explain it later. The first Baylor student to go to Kitok's for the first time this week, take a picture and Tweet it at us (@wacofork) will receive a $25 gift certificate to the restaurant of his or her choice. Don't rush out the door today as Kitok's is closed on Monday, but it's open Tuesday through Saturday, so rush out the door tomorrow.
Now for some explanation.
Here's a good way to treat yourself to a steak lunch, completely guilt free.
The Central Texas Chapter of the Texas Society of CPAs is hosting an Administrative Professionals Day Luncheon on Wednesday at Outback Steakhouse. The $25 ticket for the event will raise money for the CTCPA scholarship fund, which awards $1,000 scholarships to deserving accounting students.
Congratulations to Dan Ingham for winning the WacoFork Bracket Challenge. We've done this for two years now and Ingham has claimed first prize both times, so it's fair to say he's dominating it.
Most of you probably already know this, but before Ingham held down an anchor seat on KWTX This Morning, he was the station's sports director. That kind of makes our contest legit (despite the fact that another sports media member in the contest finished almost dead last and, since he offered anyone who beat him a free cup of coffee, now has a lot of coffee to buy).
It's on, friends. As of 5 p.m. Sunday evening, the level of my attention devoted to college basketball went up from around 60 percent to around 95 percent. If you understand that I'm referring to the NCAA Tournament, then you understand my obsessions. If it took until the second sentence of this blog to get that, then you can probably skip the rest of it.
I am still going to roll out some interesting (I hope) restaurant stuff this week, including a cool thing happening with Vitek's Gut Pak this afternoon. But I'm mostly devoted to my own bracket projections early in the week and then zoning out on March Madness beginning Thursday morning.
Every now and then, the One More Bite Blog will arbitrarily decide it's "(fill in the blank) Week."
We've had weeks featuring barbecue, Mexican food, Asian food, etc. You get the idea. This week, we've decided to feature the greatness of the taco. It's "Taco Week" people. Get on board.
It's Presidents Day, which led me to an unusual realization: no one is universally popular.
Perhaps the most popular president in history, and certainly the most popular historical president at the moment, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. So that's what popularity will get you sometimes. In fact, according ranker.com, Lincoln is the most popular president and JFK is No. 8. Lesson: you can win over some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but if you win over too many people, you might also want to consider living in a bullet-proof-glass bubble.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone with big plans today. We hope you'll check out our Valentine's playbook blog to help make/augment your agenda.
As for me, it's Thursday, but not just any Thursday. I've been looking forward to Feb. 14 for a while because my friends in the band Bobby Jealousy are having an album release party in Austin this evening. So I'll be headed down there for that. And that's not just me bragging about having cool plans for tonight. There's a Waco tie-in.
If you haven't been to El Crucero, then you haven't been to one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in town.
But perhaps your reason is that you work far from there and don't have time to get there on your lunch break. Well then there's good news for you. El Crucero, located on Highway 77 just a quarter-mile from the traffic circle, is now open on Friday and Saturday evenings until 8 p.m. So what are you doing for dinner tonight? You won't find better Mexican food for the price than El Crucero.
