Where I come from a restaurant is judged by the pies they serve.  Many cafes have earned a reputation based upon their mile-high meringue and fruit pies.  Sane people will drive many miles out of their way for a taste of a certain  restaurant’s pies.  Here in Dallas there is Norma’s, Mamma’s Daughters, and I’m […]

At Casa Flamingo, there is always a party.  Cathy and Caitlyn entertain easily and with such grace.  Someone is usually out by the pool.  I envy how they do it.  Last time we were there, Caitlyn was making stuffed jalapeno peppers on the grill. (I can not believe that I can not find a picture […]
