The winners are …

Congratulations to 7 Gables for winning Game 1 in dramatic fashion! After three rounds of trivia, 7 Gables and the Slow P'Touhys tied for first place. Jerry from 7 Gables and Jay from Slow P'Touhys battled in the TV Theme Song tie-breaker. Evidently these guys don't watch television because neither correctly guessed the first two themes ("Kojak" and "Taxi"). I thought the third song would have been a cinch, but Jerry didn't correctly identify the theme from "The Jeffersons" until 15 seconds into it.

In Game 2, former champions Henry and Adam earned the championship belt after several weeks of not ranking. Taking a jab at 7 Gables and their 17 team members, Henry and Adam named their team 477,777,777 Gables. Joining Henry and Adam in the victory dance were team members Kristen, Shirley, Joe the Nurse, Estelle and Tony.

By the way, Debbie and Jerry from the 7 Gables team were kind enough to bring in potato leek soup for everyone at the Emerald Hen to enjoy. Since I'm usually running late on trivia nights, it's tough to get something for supper that's not Mickey D's. The soup hit the spot.

Debbie and Jerry plan to bring in soup the first Wednesday night of every month. The next "soup night" is Sept. 6. Debbie says they plan to make beef barley soup in September. Everyone is welcome to have a couple of cups. All they ask is that you donate a couple of dollars to help defray the cost. They've promised any remaining funds will go into the Dan The Man Trivia tip jar. Yes, I have a vested interest, but please don't let that deter you from eating some delicious soup.

I forgot to take a picture of the soup, so this photo comes from the So Cal Foodie blog, which includes a recipe for potato leek soup.
