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 […]
Do you remember the Mario and Alberto restaurant at 635 and Preston? It was a nice family Mexican restaurant that had been at that location for many years. Recently the construction on 635, caused their business to tank. (Do you dare to travel 635 these days? I for one do not). So good news for […]
Where to get meats for an antipasto tray? While Googling this question over a year ago, I came across listings and rave reviews for Jimmy’s Food Store (http://www.jimmysfoodstore.com/index.php). For whatever reason, I couldn’t or didn’t make it to Jimmy’s Food Store, but it has been on my list of places to visit. Ever-Lovin’ and I […]
Dear friend Marsh told me about Sissy’s Southern Kitchen and Bar. She even sent me a review, and the comments were glowing. I could not wait to go. Friends Minetta and Carolyn agreed to have lunch with me for “research purposes” at Sissy’s Southern Kitchen at 2929 Henderson. Sissy’s Southern Kitchen and Bar is owned […]
Doncha just love a bargain? Thrift stores, consignment stores, estate sales, discount stores, and clearances-out items can give me a thrill. Shopping is entertainment. If you ask me, it is a respectable hobby. You have fun. You go home with a prize, and you have stimulated the economy. Here are some interesting things I have […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl. I finally bought pillows. This is how it began. I needed new pillows for my sofa. Not that I did not like the look of the pillows that came with the sofa, but I did not like the feathers inside the pillows. Understand?? Feathers in pillows may sound soft and wonderful, […]
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 […]
A seaside style fish shack near downtown Plano. Hard to imagine, but there it is on 15th Street just east of Central Expressway (75), and it is appropriately called Fish Shack. The little blue shack – which I am sure was once a fast food establishment – serves good seafood at reasonable prices. Dear friends […]
House Cafe is one of my favorite places of all time to eat breakfast. I realized something the other morning – I haven’t blogged about House Cafe. I felt badly. How could I neglect House Cafe? Well, I intend to change that right now. House Cafe deserves due recognition. This is not a […]
What a day! We played in the Klyde Warren Park, ate at the gourmet food trucks, and then spent an afternoon at the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Bottom line – GO! Sweet Mother of Pearl. It is beyond wonderful. Do not feel obligated to take a child with you. All ages can […]
