Dream Cafe

The Dream Cafe – love the name. The Mrs. knew about The Dream Cafe in Addison, so one morning The Buds met at The Dream Cafe for breakfast.   I was impressed.  I told Ever-Lovin’ about it, and … he wanted to go.  So go we did.  . Welcome!  The website mentions that there is […]

Toulouse Cafe and Bar

Posted on: May 13, 2013        In: Out and About        With: No comments
We went to Talouse Cafe and Bar on our way home from tip-toeing through the bluebonnets in Ennis.  We stopped on Knox Street to shop a bit, and it was supper time. (Okay, dinner time since we went to a French restaurant.)  I remembered that The Mrs. had mentioned Toulouse was a good restaurant, and […]

Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, and Mango Salsa

Posted on: May 9, 2013        In: In the Kitchen        With: No comments
This is basically Pioneer Woman’s recipe.  Blessed be her name.  How can I properly express my deep appreciation?  Honestly, this is a life changing recipe. For years I felt like a pico de gallo failure.  I had stopped trying.  Why waste perfectly good tortillia chips?  Bland tomatoes were not working for me.  I gave up […]

It is exciting when new restaurants open in the burbs.  For sometime now, we have been watching work on a new burger joint at II Creeks Plaza in Richardson (2701 Custer Parkway, 75080).  Shady’s Burger Joint opened in April, and we were eager to give it a try.  The restaurant had been opened only a […]

20 Feet Seafood Joint

I was scooped.  The Buckner Gang went to 20 Feet Seafood Joint, and loved it. “You must blog about this restaurant!,” said one and all.  I began preparing.   The pictures had been transferred from the camera into a folder on the desktop.   Ideas were in my head. The Dallas Morning News stole my […]

Dear sweet friends David and Sheila invited us to lunch.  Love lunch invitations.  Thank you very much.  Then they suggested we do lunch in Denton, Texas.  Fantastic.  I love road trips, and the short drive to Denton up I 35 is easy.  There were three things we wanted to do on this pretty spring day […]

Henderson, Texas

Henderson, Texas – Little did I know what a gem of a small East Texas town this would be.  We enjoyed great shopping, good food, and fantastic hospitality. Historic Henderson the signs read. The downtown shopping area is listed in the National Register Downtown Historic Square.  The Henderson tourism website claims that this “downtown shopping […]

Kilgore, Texas

Kilgore, Texas was the first stop on our East Texas tour.  I had heard about Kilgore, Texas. – Kilgore Rangerettes, oil wells –I guess that was about it.  But, while reading information about East Texas towns, Kilgore seemed to be a place to visit, and I am glad we did. My hometown – Andrews, Texas […]

Highland Park Pharmacy

While out and about with fantastic friend Pat, guess what I learned.  Fantastic friend Pat had never – ever – ever enjoyed going to Highland Park Pharmacy.  The Highland Park Pharmacy that was established in 1912, and has served breakfast, lunch and most importantly soda fountain treats to countless generations of Dallasites.  I could not […]
