With the new H-E-B set to open on Friday, we received an interesting tip from the WacoFork wire that the new H-E-B could include a Flaming Bird restaurant.
I stopped by today and confirmed that there is a Flaming Bird, which according to an online menu serves rotisserie chicken by the piece or by the whole bird. Interestingly, they also offer pizza by the slice and by the whole pizza. Even more interesting, the pizza choices include chicken artichoke.
I do not understand weight loss. It's an absolute mystery to me.
For starters, when you lose weight, where does it go? And how do you make it go there? And don't tell me about counting calories and burning calories and all of that because it all seems so arbitrary. I know that diet is probably more essential than exercise because if I work out and it makes me want and feel justified to eat a burrito, then my net gain is zilch. That much I understand.
Here's the 16th installment of Tuesday Trivia, which we'll be running all summer.
We've been tying trivia to new music releases since that happens on Tuesdays, so you would have some framework for my question's origin. Today's question is related to John Mayer's release of a new studio album called "Paradise Valley."
We had the privilege of taking an inside look at one of if not the most exciting things happening in our town these days: the building of the new Baylor Stadium.
Of course, we're going to pass along the scoop to you, our WacoFork friends. Here's a short video complete with Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw speaking about the things that excite him about the new football stadium.
Roughly once a month, I write about the Cafe Homestead special dinners in this space. Cafe Homestead isn't usually open for dinner, but every now and then (again, roughly once a month) they prepare a menu and open up two seatings.
So I reveal the menu here in an effort to entice our readers to sign up for the dinner. I don't know how effective the practice is, but I hope some of you see those emails and sign up for the dinners.
Here's the 15th installment of Tuesday Trivia, this time with living-color video. Mark "The Shark" Waldrop helped us out with the video and gave us a copy of The Digital Age's new album "EVENING:MORNING" to pass along to the winner.
The Digital Age is a local band with a national audience. Check out their website, thedigitalagemusic.com, and (if you don't win it) buy their new album, which dropped today.
Remember last summer when we joined with ChipperThings.com to throw a chess tournament? It was fun right? Well I want to give you an update on our friend and ChipperThings proprietor Becky Murphy.
She's in Austin now and she made me a salad for lunch on Saturday. She said she hoped for the salad to be a little more flavorful, but I didn't mind. She has no idea how much I need to mix in an uber-healthy salad every now and then. Or maybe she does.
On the surface, this picture is pretty mundane. Is it worth a thousand words? Actually, yeah, but I'm not going to spend that many on it. Maybe 450.
First, the main action of the photo is the gentleman spraying the brick. That's significant for a couple of reasons. The brick in question is the newly placed brick on the exterior of the coming Dichotomy coffee bar on Austin Avenue. Specifically, it's in the 500 block. We're looking forward to this place opening, which looks like it might happen sometime in September.
