When I visited Tim Love’s new Love Shack I had to try the jalapeno and cucumber margaritas that he added to the expanded drink menu. I love a great margarita and if the man could put together drink recipes like he can deliver a burger, I knew I would be impressed. So not surprisingly, the [...]
Once upon a time there was a Celebrity Café in Las Colinas. It was pretty much ignored by me because on the three occasions I visited there, I was underwhelmed with a too-sweet cake, a dry cookie, and a sandwich that was just ok. Nothing there was bad per se, but nothing was worth coming [...]
It’s Saturday and you know what that means? It means I get to do as I please! And when I said on Thursday that I was going to go to The Cupcakery on Saturday, I meant it! So I headed over there today after my bang trim with my guy Taury @ Pompeo. (He’s great [...]
Now I don’t want to drive anyone away, but if you want cupcakes 24/7, you should really know about Only Cupcakes. That site can really satisfy your cupcake needs like no other. Lots and lots of eye candy (and fondant). The only thing that makes me sad is that sometimes there’s the most amazing cupcakes [...]
Apparently, it’s National Cupcake Week. W. T. F. The one week a year where you can justify eating a cupcake everyday and I MISS IT? Let’s not dwell on missed opportunities. For the next four days, we’re talking cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes. Saturday morning I’m going to Dallas’ newest cupcake shop, The Cupcakery. Their reputation precedes [...]
When we were making plans for our trip to London, there was one very special item on my list of things to do while there. Aside from the popular sites to see—the Tate, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben—I really wanted to have afternoon tea somewhere fantastic. On our last night in London that wish definitely came [...]
In London, I had a pint at my first authentic pub. Obviously, it was a little different than our idea of a pub. Families can go there to eat dinner, there’s a wider variety of people and ages, and the atmosphere is very nice and laid back. While there, I had my favorite beer of [...]
It’s amazing how much nicer McDonald’s are once you get out of the States. The ones I’ve seen in England and France look like posh little bistros compared to their counterparts in America. We’re talking leather booths, overhead lighting, clean floors and restrooms. In Japan, the food they serve you looks exactly like the pictures [...]
Camden Market is a popular tourist area in London. It’s made up of hundreds of stalls that sell lots of art, kitsch, street fashion, and semi-knockoff handbags. Imagine Canal Street in NYC plus some of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival and State Fair. Take that and then multiply. Not twice, not three times – more. [...]
I’m visiting London for the first time! We’re staying with friends outside of the city and it’s really beautiful. I’m hoping to try some of the local cuisine, but want to avoid anything involving offal. That seems like a good goal. Last night I baked my first meringue with my friend Teresa. We followed a [...]
