Heads-up…. This is the weekend for the 58th Annual Greek Food Festival right here on Hillcrest and Alma Roads in Dallas, Texas. The festival began as a ladies bazaar at the Greek Orthodox Church that was on Swiss Avenue. I remember that it was many moons ago when we literally stumbled upon the festival on Swiss Avenue, […]
People who know and have experienced the Village Baking Company speak in awe of their breads. I had heard of this bakery, but had no idea where it was. When MarshaChristmas asked if it would be okay to stop by the Village Baking Company after lunch, I was beyond excited. This artisan bakery has been on […]
On the corner of Beltline and Plano Road in Richardson is a new restaurant. Well, technically speaking it is not completely new. Down the street there used to be the old Applebee’s. It had been there a long, long, long time. In fact, I think I read somewhere that that Applebee’s was the first […]
The television and newspapers heralded the reopening of the new and improved Dallas Farmers Market. So… These little piggies went to market. In the shadows of Dallas skyscrapers and newly built lofts, there is evidence of the changes taking place at the Dallas Farmers Market. But… From what I read in the Dallas Morning News I […]
Two recommendations gets our attention – even if the two recommendations are basically from the same source. Several moons ago Gary K. told us about a very inexpensive breakfast diner, BUT he couldn’t remember the name. We drove to the area, but there were two restaurants. We didn’t know which restaurant he was recommending, so […]
It had been a long long time since I had visited one of my true loves – First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas. Usually August is NOT the month to visit the world famous, humongous flea market, but … it wasn’t a terribly hot day (for August), and we thought we would give it a try. Metal […]
A new BBQ restaurant is in town – Ten 50 BBQ. For months we have watched as a site just north of Arapaho on Central Expressway (US 75) has been transformed into a BBQ restaurant. Finally it is open, and we went. Cute kid in the parking lot found us a good parking space. The entire […]
There is a new restaurant in the neighborhood. Miss Jane told us about it on Sunday. We are always excited when new restaurants come to our area of town, and we are especially pleased when we like the food. Taco Joint is the new taqueria in the Richardson Heights Shopping Center at Beltline and Central Expressway. […]
Marge is such a special friend. Ask anyone who knows her, and they all will say that she is amazing. We shared a room while we taught at Wallace, and it is always a special treat to get together with her. She is a beautiful, classy lady, and I learned so much from her. It […]
There is a new restaurant in town, and we wanted to try it. Ever-Lovin’ and I made our way over to Campbell/Coit to dine at Manny’s Uptown Tex-Mex, but the line was LONG – 45 minute wait. (People in the Richardson/North Dallas area are so ready for new restaurants.) Maybe another day we decided. On […]
