Mary Pittman had a tea room and gift shop in Richardson, Texas.  Be still my heart!  It was one of the first tea rooms I ever visited.  The fact that there was a tea room in my neighborhood was beyond wonderful.  It proved that living in the city was the life for me, and just […]

StoneGable is a blog I enjoy.  Yvonne is one talented person – she cooks, she creates, she decorates, and she and her husband even do most of their home projects themselves.  On top of all of that, her photographs are fantastic.

Sesame Asparagus Roll-ups are so good.  I like them.  I love them.  They are so good that I was determined to make them for Stephanie’s shower. It took three trips to as many grocery stores to be able to find asparagus to my liking.  At one store, the asparagus was too large (I almost wrote […]
