Sometimes we neglect the ones we love. – That applies to restaurants that we have frequented for ever and a day. Cindi’s is on our frequent flier list. It is a comfortable place that serves good food – especially breakfast. Cindi’s is a mini-chain restaurant. They now have five locations. It is impressive that Anh […]
Just in case you haven’t heard. Restaurant supply stores are beyond wonderful. Yes, you heard me correctly. Restaurant supply stores are w-o-o-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l! Having the right tools in the kitchen makes cooking and baking easier. A mechanic needs tools to fix a car. A gardner needs special tools for gardening. A plumber needs special tools to […]
For the past few weeks, I have been working on a committee that is helping to plan the 150th Anniversary of First Baptist Church Richardson. There are not many churches that can make that claim to fame. We are even older than First Baptist Church Dallas. Looking through the archives at the old pictures is […]
I started to title this post – The Best Bread Pudding – but that seemed a little presumptuous. But I am here to tell you, – This is the best bread pudding I have ever made, and Lord knows I have tried to make a bread pudding to our liking. Ever-Lovin’ loves bread pudding and […]
Steel City Pops is the new rave in Dallas, Texas. Down Lower Greenville way you will find popsicles for sale. Not just any popsicles – gourmet pops made from organic locally sourced (when available) ingredients. My how this area of Lower Greenville has changed. Back in the day, I had an antique booth in an […]
Nothing earth shattering here. Probably most of you know about and have visited Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth. But, on our recent day trip to Cowtown (to see the Indiana Jones Archeology Exhibition), we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this legendary restaurant. We enjoyed it so much – we thought […]
To say that there are Indiana Jones fans in our household would be an understatement. A “Remember when?” story around holiday meals often brings to mind when the entire family waited in a line that stretched around the theater (even with pre-bought tickets) to see the first movie. Number One Son and his wife even […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl! For a summertime treat you cannot beat gazpacho. The tomato based cold soup is filled with raw vegetables, and it is flavorful and so refreshing. Gazpacho was served at Sheila’s Beach Birthday Party. I was given this recipe by my friend who does not want to be named. She got it from […]
Blue Watermelon Walnut Salad Caution – this salad can become an addiction! (That is the disclaimer that came with this salad from watermelon.org.) I believe them. Now, I do not have wonderful pictures of this salad because when cooking for Sheila’s party, it was hard to have time to take pictures. The Blue Watermelon Walnut […]
Sheila is a dear friend. She had a (as one would say) milestone birthday, and that called for a party. Now, Sheila loves the beach. She grew up going to the beach, and she has a wonderful collection of seashells. So… we had a beach party. This was so much fun to plan. Welcome to […]
