Do you remember the Mario and Alberto restaurant at 635 and Preston? It was a nice family Mexican restaurant that had been at that location for many years. Recently the construction on 635, caused their business to tank. (Do you dare to travel 635 these days? I for one do not). So good news for […]
Where to get meats for an antipasto tray? While Googling this question over a year ago, I came across listings and rave reviews for Jimmy’s Food Store (http://www.jimmysfoodstore.com/index.php). For whatever reason, I couldn’t or didn’t make it to Jimmy’s Food Store, but it has been on my list of places to visit. Ever-Lovin’ and I […]
Dear friend Marsh told me about Sissy’s Southern Kitchen and Bar. She even sent me a review, and the comments were glowing. I could not wait to go. Friends Minetta and Carolyn agreed to have lunch with me for “research purposes” at Sissy’s Southern Kitchen at 2929 Henderson. Sissy’s Southern Kitchen and Bar is owned […]
Doncha just love a bargain? Thrift stores, consignment stores, estate sales, discount stores, and clearances-out items can give me a thrill. Shopping is entertainment. If you ask me, it is a respectable hobby. You have fun. You go home with a prize, and you have stimulated the economy. Here are some interesting things I have […]
Norma’s is an old standby favorite of ours, but last week someone mentioned that they had never heard of Norma’s. I will admit it. We were shocked, flabbergasted, and down right amazed. “What? You haven’t heard or eaten at Norma’s? Where have you been?” We really did not say that, but the idea for this […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl. I finally bought pillows. This is how it began. I needed new pillows for my sofa. Not that I did not like the look of the pillows that came with the sofa, but I did not like the feathers inside the pillows. Understand?? Feathers in pillows may sound soft and wonderful, […]
This is so much fun. Friends give me suggestions of good places to eat. Then Ever-Lovin’ and I “have to” go out to eat so I will have something to blog about. Do I have a good life or what? While at the First Monday Trades Days in Canton, sweet friend Nancy from Brentfield ask […]
I want to go back to Grapevine. What a neat town. Yes, I have been several times in the past, but when I went with Ever-Lovin’ to Tobert’s a while back, we walked around a bit, and I thought, “We should do this more often.” (Maybe next time with some girlfriends. – They would enjoy […]
Never had been. Always wanted to go. Didn’t know what to expect. Wasn’t what I expected. (That makes no sense, but it is how I feel.) Bad news. There wasn’t a rodeo on the day we went to the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Boo-hoo. Honestly, I wanted to cry. Check the schedules carefully. […]
El Fenix on McKinney in downtown Dallas is one of my all time favorite restaurants. This iconic Dallas establishment made Katharine Shilcutt’s list of 30 Essential Texas Restaurants to Visit Before You Die that was in the Dallas Observer. (http://www.dallasobserver.com/2013-01-17/dining/30-essential-texas-restaurants-to-visit-before-you-die/). Yes! – Good choice Katharine. – I agree 100%. Everyone should dine at the El […]
