Lots of talk about the 'Big Game' on Sunday, although there are many who don't watch for the game, but for other things like commercials, 1/2 time, or just because nothing else is on worth watching at the time. Whether you are having a 'Big Game Party' or just chilling at home checking things out a bit, I ran into these 25 questions that you could answer before the game, that might make you have a bit more interest in the game. If you are having a party, you could have peeps answer them before the game starts and whoever has the most correct at the end of the game could win something cool.. bottle of win...case of Beer... maybe collect a couple of bucks from each guest to create a cash stash... the winner could win that. Here are 25 more reasons to watch the 'Big Game'! Have fun!

I got this in an email from my Honey Ted. Wonder what he's thinking about for Valentine's Day? LOL For the girl that has everything... although I don't think I have everything, but I do not have these. Would you consider this for V-Day?
I got an email from my honey Ted about a new restaurant opening in ATX 'Hi Hat Public House'. It's owned by ATX drummer Steve Schrader. Beer lovers welcome!
Open: Hi Hat Public House, a restaurant at 2121 E. Sixth St., the former home of Braise. Chef Jesse Curtis’s menu includes everything from pork meatballs and beer-brined chicken wings to posole, herbed pappardelle and cassoulet, and the bar has two dozen craft beers on tap. The restaurant is open for dinner and Sunday brunch. 478-8700, hihatpublichouse.comSomething new to try for dinner!
McDonald's will have QR codes on their packaging/bags that you can scan with your smartphone to get nutrional 411 on what you are eating. "The QR code is in addition to the nutritional information McDonald's currently prints on brochures, tray liners and more as well as on the information that can be found on the company's apps."
Good Idea? I like the idea, but not sure I want to know the nutritional value of a Big Mac, fries and a chocolate shake. I realize they have salads, grilled chicken/sandwiches and apple slices, but do most go to McDonalds for that type of meal?
