We lived in Dallas County many many years, and had never visited the Sixth Floor Museum – a museum that chronicles the life, the assassination and the legacy of President John F. Kennedy. Often we mentioned wanting to visit the museum, but perhaps we were a little hesitant to go to an infamous place – […]
This is another recommendation from Excellent Cook Nancy. She knows everything. Amazing. Chicken Scratch is kin to the restaurant Smoke (click here to read the blog about Smoke). They have the same daddy – Tim Byers. This restaurant gives new meaning to the terms reuse, recycle, reduce. As we drove into the parking lot, […]
FYI: The 2013 Dallas Auto Show is at the Convention Center in downtown Dallas, and it will continue to be there through the 16th and 17th of March (2013). Just wanted you to know in case you are interested. Hot Rod and his parents wanted to visit this year’s Auto Show as a spring break […]
Betty and Robert’s son Paul told them to go to Maple and Motor for cheeseburgers. He proclaimed it “perhaps the best burger he has ever eaten”. Being good friends, Betty and Robert called and invited us to meet them there. Now I realize that most of you probably have heard of Maple and Motor. As […]
It is officially spring in Dallas, Texas. How do I know? Dallas Blooms opened at the Dallas Arboretum on March 2, 2013. Super Sister is in town, and first on our agenda was a visit the Arboretum. Sweet Mother of Pearl. How I love visiting the Dallas Arboretum. It is pure joy. As we entered […]
Installing piers destroyed my beloved roses. The roses I had purchased for $1.00 a bush. They were beautiful, but crowded in the little bed by the garage. The story I am about to tell is admittedly overkill. My previous roses I picked from the leftovers of the season. They were beautiful, and I loved them. […]
I read about Stampede 66 before it opened. I read about Stampede 66 when it opened. I read the reviews for Stampede 66 after it opened. I so wanted to dine at Stampede 66. So I gathered a group of friends, and made reservations at Stampede 66. You see, Stephan Pyles grew up in Big […]
I remember when Castle Gap Jewelry Company was in Lake Highlands. For years and years and year and years, I have said I wanted to visit the store at Preston Center, but I never did. The Mrs. (my dear sweet friend who has the cabin in New Mexico), had often mentioned that Castle Gap had […]
Jane and John heard of a new restaurant. Imagine this. They are eating at Red Hot and Blue. The waiter recommends Nazca Kitchen, another restaurant in the same shopping center. He even gives them a menu from Nazca Kitchen to take home. Wierd. (Fact is, the Red Hot and Blue owners also own the Nazca […]
We had it planned. This month’s D Magazine listed Taco Republic as one of the 20 top taquerias in Dallas. Be still my heart. Taco Republic is on the service road just north of Spring Valley Road on North Central Expressway. Not far from my house. I was totally shocked at this listing, because […]
