High on the “Want to Do” list was a visit to the new Smoke restaurant in Plano, Texas. I have to admit that the fact that Plano, Texas has gotten so many “good” restaurants stings a little bit, but on the other hand, going to Plano is easier than traveling across the Margaret Hunt Hill […]
Inside the High Street Antique Mall on Central Expressway /US75 is one of the best tearooms in the Metroplex – Chocolate Angel Cafe and Tearoom. (High Street Antiques is located across the freeway from Collin Creek Mall.) In the past, I have written about Jenny’s wonderful baby shower that was held in this tearoom, but… […]
Somebody told me about Angela’s at the Crosswalk. They couldn’t even remember the name, but they remembered that the pies at a restaurant in downtown Plano were delicious. Since we have been on a pie circuit, we hunted out this fine establishment. Downtown Plano is happening, and we sometimes find ourselves headed north on Central Expressway […]
I saw it coming and was truly amazed that downtown Plano, Texas would be getting a Lockhart Smoke House. Yes, the same Lockhart Smoke House that is in the Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff. The same Lockhart Smokehouse that was in Texas Monthly’s list of the 5o Best BBQ Joints in the World. When […]
This is another recommendation from MarshaChristmas. I do love knowing about her comings and goings. She is always having so much fun. Around the corner from the Kolache Station Bakery is another little bakery/restaurant called Sugar and Spice Bakery. (One can’t help but finish the phrase – “and everything nice”. It is nice. (I know […]
I LOVE to get recommendations from my ultimate cheerleader MarshaChristmas. She is a wonderful support to me and Lanabird. MarshaChristmas gets out and about more than anybody I know, and she knows when places are good. Recently she emailed me with not one but three suggestions of places I might like to try. All three […]
Anytime I get to have lunch with Carolyn and Minetta I consider it a treat. Our lunch destination on this day was downtown Plano – Jorg’s Cafe Vienna. Jorg’s is a family run cafe that brings a little of Austrian cuisine to the neighborhood. It is also considered a beer garden, but I wouldn’t know […]
The promotional ad read as follows: Collin County’s past wasn’t always pretty. Aside from the beautiful, rolling farm lands, there was a darker, more sinister side. Murder & Mayhem: True Crimes of Collin County offers an unparalleled glimpse into the infamous crimes and notorious characters that helped shape Collin County into what it is today. […]
Red Hot and Blue (http://www.rhnb.com) – Not the most romantic restaurant to visit for a Valentine’s date, but we liked it. As Ever-Lovin’ pointed out – “Red Hot does sound like love to me.” (Whatever floats his boat.) And we did have a coupon. This is Memphis style barbecue, with blues and jazz memorabilia throughout the […]
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 […]
