We rock the NTN Trivia!

Mike invited me to go to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight with his girlfriend Ashley, and her friend Lindsey. We got there, enjoyed some delicious and very hot wings, and watched the Cubbies play the Rockies.

After a while, we finally got our hands on a Playmaker, the device used to play trivia. Tonight, PasTimes was the game to play. I'm not that hot at history (which is all it was), but we played anyways. Between Mike and I, we ended up with a score of around 11000 points. It's a 15 question game, and each question is worth a maximum of 1000 points, so we only missed out on 4000 possible points. We actually answered every single question correctly, it's just that you get more points the quicker you answer... so if you don't answer right away, you may only get 300 points instead of 1000.

We won the game at the Buffalo Wild Wings location... not bad for a couple of college students. After the game shows who won at the location, it starts to break down your performance versus other people nationally, and finally, compares your score to other high scores at that location. Mike and I got the 8th highest score ever recorded at that Buffalo Wild Wings location.

I love Buffalo Wild Wings... they need to build one in Ames. I wonder if any bars in Ames have NTN Trivia... if so, I am so there this fall.

E/N to the Extreme!

While my parents were out of town about a week-and-a-half ago, Zakk and I were struck my the hunger bug. Katie was working it up at TJ Maxx, so we decided we would make a meal for just the two of us.

We were able to find some ground beef, so we were going to grill up some hamburgers, except we couldn't find any buns. Shit. We then located some Rye bread and some onions. Who knows where I'm going with this already?

Yes, we made patty melts, and yes, I took pictures.


Sauteéing some onions in butter and garlic. Mmmmm.


More hot, hot sauteéing action.


Zakk's mad seasoning and grilling skills at work. Step off his grill, dawg.


The finished product. Note the grilled rye, the perfectly grilled ground beef, and the melted cheese and onions.
