    So what you are saying is....There is a heatwave in Houston?  You lucky mofo!  I will be thinking about you when I wake up and it is 8 degrees with a windchill of -10!

    😁 Supposed to get down to 28 tonight. I fear for my blue Java banana tree.

    Lived 11 years in Chicagoland, so I know the feeling...

    Bucket List Food Experience in each State

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/bucket-list-food-experiences-in-every-state/ss-AAFqces?ocid=spartanntp

    Mile they have your Rocky Mountain Oysters listed for Montana! However, Colorado trout sounds pretty good!

    Kansas gets credit for the massive, 3X outside the bun pork tenderloin, while the Hoosier state gets hung with pudding from some persimmon festival!?!?

    Sacrilege!

    Oh really?

    Challenge accepted if I'm ever in that area of Florida. 

    Edit: These?

    Oh yes, challenge accepted.  Pretty sure I could put the depicted tray away and ponder seconds. 

    Sure, if you'll sign a waiver stating that should you lapse into a sugar driven diabetic coma and have to be toted off to Sacred Heart that I'm in no way culpable...

    It is seriously the only food I've ever eaten that made my face tingle...

    While I'll overlook the slight to Shipley's Donuts in Texas (their donuts aren't that great...the vast majority of people go there for the kolaches I've mentioned a time or 2), I cannot give them a pass on Florida.

    Anyone who's ever been to The Donut Hole in Destin will tell you their Little Angels (vanilla cream filled) or their Little Devils (chocolate cream filled) donuts are a life altering experience.

    So rich and decadent you can only eat 1...

    The Astros have no left hand pitchers on their world Series Roster. When is the last time that has happened and name the team(s)

    Lol. Excellent trivia question. I looked it up so I'll give others a chance. But the reason is even more funny. It'll have Scott break dancing.

    Seafood one of my favorites! Admittedly have not been through the list yet, it was a12 hour day today!

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/restaurantsandnews/the-best-seafood-restaurant-in-all-50-states/ss-AACkb8L?ocid=spartandhp

    Been to the Anchorage in Somers Point, NJ, and while it's good, Charlie's Bar and Restaurant is nearby with some of the best buffalo wings ever...And I'll pick wings over seafood every time.

    And 30 years ago, Pennsylvania would have been Old Bookbinders, hands down. Sadly, it went bankrupt after the original owner died and his kids tried to renovate it and ran it into the ground.

  7. So one more in the "2 grand slams in one game" column...

    One player who accomplished the feat...

    The first grand slam was the first of his career. The second was his last...

    He's the only player from his position to accomplish the feat...

    And, he eventually played for the Cincinnati Reds (although he wasn't when he hit the 2 Granny's in one game)

    Who was he?

    So I am watching the Oregon/Washington football game yesterday and a very interesting question is asked.  It seems that UW is one of three FBS schools whose football stadium can be accessed by water.

    Can you name the other two?

    Neyland Stadium (Tennessee), and McLane Stadium (Waco, TX...Baylor).

    I knew the latter, had to look up the former...

    OK mile, maybe you will agree with this Colorado choice.😀 I have my doubts though as it is a bit different from all of the other states.

    'Best regional fast food chain in each state'

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/restaurantsandnews/the-best-regional-fast-food-chain-in-your-state/ss-BBPgOnB?ocid=spartanntp

    Texas-Whataburger ✓

    Wawa-Pennsylvania✓

    Jersey Mikes-Jersey✓

    Skyline Chili-Ohio✓

    Culvers-Wisconsin✓ (although the cheese curds are probably soggy and salty today after the whuppin The Whinin Illini put on old Bucky)

    Yeah, that's the best list they've had yet. I've eaten at probably half of them. Good stuff...

    Pure guess Frank Robinson.  I know he hit 2 in same game. I believe back to back innings but no sure about who was on base. 

     

    Who is only player to hit Grand Slams in same inning?

    Yessir!

    For your question, "There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando."

    Oh my God...I'm quoting ABBA songs...

    A) I laughed way harder than I should have at this.  Well done. 

    B) Can't help but think of Chris Rock's riff on Marion Barry.  "Smoked crack, got his job back.  Who was he running against? What was the other guy on....heroin? *slurred speech* Vote for me! Vote for me! Don't vote for crack, vote for smack!"

    " You can't get caught smoking crack at McDonalds and get your job back!"

    And now the most Iconic food from every state, I actually think they did a pretty good job with this list.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/the-most-iconic-food-in-every-state/ss-BBVFkmO?ocid=spartandhp

    I thought they did a good job, but 2 I didn't agree with...NJ pork roll over sub sandwiches (tell that one to anyone who's ever been to White House Subs) and choosing chicken fried steak over brisket for Texas...uh, no...

  13. Kolaches...

    Although it is pretty much a breakfast staple here in Texas, but I'd never heard of them before I moved here...

    Word is, Kolaches are a Czech pastry which is normally filled with fruit...Texans said to hell with that, and stuffed it with smoked sausage, cheddar cheese, and jalapenos...Among other things...Shipley's donuts make the best I've tasted...

    He an Mack both wore suits but I bet its a trick question like a 1 time thing. Francona did not wear a uniform after a heart procedure but I don't think that counts

    Probably...it's a tough one though...

    We have a winner. I read that long time ago and just thought about it this morning.  Hoping now we can keep this thread going

    So playing off your question, what was the original name of the franchise that is now the Baltimore Orioles?
