April 27 – May 1 – Abby & Bill have tickets to see Water for Elephants on opening night, May 5!
May 4 – 8 – it’s 2 movie passes to Cineplanet 15 this week!
Once again proving that everything is bigger in Texas…a Dallas steakhouse is serving up a whopping 77 ounce NY Strip. It’s
called the Luka…named after a professional basketball player
from the Dallas Mavericks….who’s number is 77. 77 ounces is
equivalent to 4.8 pounds. The Luka is 77-day dry-aged beef. It is
carved tableside and served with garlic butter and mushroom
Barolo sauce. The menu lists MP, or Market Price, for the dish, so
no word on the price….I’m sure it’s a BIG, just like the steak!
An Animal Rescue team recently rescued some baby turkeys trapped in a pipe. One wasn’t breathing…but they didn’t give up there. CPR was performed until the tiny turkey came back to life.
It took 4 years, but this grandfather finally finished the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle. Lou spent about 1000 hours working on the 60,000 piece Dowdle Map puzzle…with a little help from his granddaughter. Dowdle shipped him the final missing piece last weekend.
Dairy Queen just launched their own line of….. pajamas…
designed to match the new DQ Breakfast Collection. The PJ’s feature colorful, nostalgic prints aimed at “relaxed mornings and everyday comfort”.Concerts on the Docks returns tomorrow night at Lowe Mill in
Huntsville. It’s a free concert every Friday in May. Family, friends, and even pets are all invited.
