Today, I drove down I-35 North, out of the Baylor Bubble, in search of a good burger. I didn’t want just any ol’ burger, though. I wanted a burger that would make my taste buds sing. I ended up at Dave’s Burger Barn, located at 600 N Patricia St.

Well, as soon as I saw “Scottish Pudding” I knew I’d found the perfect recipe to try. With all the rainy, gray days recently, I’ve missed my time studying abroad in St. Andrews, Scotland. A Google search revealed Scottish pudding to be a classic British holiday dessert. Perfection.
Enter a classroom with a Shipley Do-Nut bag in hand and prepare to be flooded with glares. The sugary, airy and warm pastry from the most prevalent bakery in town warrants a jealousy any deprived sugar-tooth can muster.
The stage looks like home. Maybe not a home today, but the home of one’s grandparents, and the home of the American Dream. Mid-century modern furniture is arranged in a family circle, and household keepsakes clutter the shelves. To the right of the stage there is a child’s room, and a doll’s house ready for play.

When choosing a recipe for Cookbook Confessions, I have two qualifications. One, it must be strange. Certainly I cannot choose a title because it sounds appetizing. Two, it must require some experimenting—whether with substitutions or uncommon cooking techniques.
In front of the Magnolia Market storefront there is a memory. The sign from the Little Shop on Bosque, Chip and Joanna Gaines’ first retail store, is printed on a banner in front of the new location. This weekend, the Little Shop and its iconic Magnolia sign will be wheeled away for the last time at the grand opening of the downtown market at Waco’s iconic silos.

Halloween is a two-edged holiday. Candy, tricks and treats make Halloween a quintessential children’s favorite. But ghouls and vampires, no matter how much kids like them, can sometimes give the day an adult-only R-rating.

Planning a whole weekend can be overwhelming as families often expect their students to know Waco and take the lead. Here are some suggestions for a day in the life of a cultured Wacoan:
Zoës Kitchen will open a new location in Waco on Tuesday. The new restaurant is undergoing finishing touches at 1810 South Valley Mills Drive.
Although the Baylor homecoming parade has been canceled due to weather conditions, the creative, extravagant and quirky floats will be judged at their regular time as tradition prevails.
Many students fell in love with Lady and Joy on their first visit to campus, but otherwise, Baylor University’s live mascots are an oft-forgotten part of regular campus life. In the midst of Homecoming and a week of traditions, it’s time to reveal the truly unique history of the Baylor bears—the furry, four-legged ones.
To escape from the elements and feast your eyes on art, wander into the Creative Art Studio and Theater during what would have been the duration of the Homecoming Parade.
The stage at Waco Hall will be lit up once again during this Homecoming’s traditional Pigskin Revue. From Thursday to Saturday, Pigskin will welcome the spring’s top Sing acts back to the stage to reprise their performances to audiences of alumni, students and guests to Baylor.
At most restaurants, diners come with friends and family and sit at a table to themselves. Waco’s Farm to Table Dinners, hosted by Milo Local Provisions and Kindred Event Studios, isn’t like that. At Thursday’s dinner, guests will be arrayed along a communal table meant to bring them together around food and conversation.
Happiness is a diner mug filled with fresh coffee intermittently between sips. It’s an over-hard egg next to buttered toast and three strips of bacon. It’s a conversation with a frequent customer sitting at the bar as you wait for your food to be prepared before your eyes. Happiness is Cupp’s Drive-Inn.
