Bambu – The Thai-Asian restaurant in Richardson, Texas has gotten some good press. Dallas Morning News selected it to be in its Top 100 D-FW Restaurants.

On June 17, Marsha Christmas – my cheerleader – forwarded me this: “With grace of Southern hospitality Ellen’s Southern Kitchen shines | Dallas-Fort Worth Restaurant Reviews and News – Dining News for Dallas, Texas – GuideLive – The Dallas Morning News.” “Lanabird, Have y’all been here?

Another eatery on the Square in McKinney, Texas was on my radar – Spoons Cafe. Betty’s son Paul (an in-the-know foodie) gave me the recommendation. So – before the organ concert at the courthouse theater, we took the opportunity to dine at Spoons. I am beginning to think it is my camera that takes crooked […]

Carolyn finished summer school. She had worked endless hours preparing and supervising the yearly summer school classes. She was ready for some fun, and I am always in need of fun. This said, we planned to get together. Minetta was to go, but couldn’t. Bummer! (Minetta, we missed you. We really – really missed […]

Miss Jane of gardening fame sent me a text. Texas Country Reporter had been to Frontier Texas in Abilene, Texas.
