The year was 1981. Mary Beth (Babe) and Paul (Bubba) Vineyard brought traditional southern comfort food to the Park Cities area of Dallas, Texas. Bubba bought an old 1929 Texaco service station across from SMU on Hillcrest Avenue and converted it into an Art Deco-style diner. Babe perfected the recipes, and the customers came – AND they are […]
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 […]
Friend Betty had an appointment in Denton, and she invited me to ride along. I so appreciate when friends consider Lanabird, and suggest, “Maybe we can eat somewhere special, and you can blog about it.” Thank you, Betty! While looking online, Oldwest Cafe was on several recommended lists. Then the receptionist added her stamp of […]
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 […]
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 […]
For years and years I have heard about Round Table. Women of First Baptist Church Richardson gather for prayer, lunch, and a program. Friends mentioned to me that a lady that grew up at Buckner Orphan’s Home was going to speak, and I might like to hear her since Buckner is dear to my heart. […]
Going to new restaurants is fun. It is exciting to try something new that maybe you my dear readers do not know about. I love suggestions of places we should try. BUT … Sometimes I forget to sing the praise of our tried and true restaurants. The restaurants we continue going back to time and […]
Benedict’s is a breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant that has made several lists as a recommended breakfast eatery in Dallas. We thought we should check it out. Bikers’ hogs were parked outside the front door. We took that as a good sign. Benedict’s is located in Addison on Betline Road at Inwood. Inside, the decor was […]
Another eatery on the Square in McKinney, Texas was on my radar – Spoons Cafe. Betty’s son Paul (an in-the-know foodie) gave me the recommendation. So – before the organ concert at the courthouse theater, we took the opportunity to dine at Spoons. I am beginning to think it is my camera that takes crooked […]
On the website for the Well (click HERE to view the website), I found this information: Welcome to the Well: We are a community of people working to bring love and health to adults recovering from serious mental illness. “Jesus said, ‘People soon become thirsty again after drinking water. But the water I give takes […]
