“My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied with the best.” ~Winston Churchill The Frio Rio in Real County IS the best. I have been floating in Texas rivers long enough to remember using REAL inner tubes. As a wild, young adult I spent many a summer day (and night) tubing down the Guadalupe and Comal…

Beach House – Pacific Grove, CA
On a recommendation from a local Monterey resident we gave the Beach House a try. The restaurant was beautiful. The signature lanterns hung from the ceilings and there are tons of windows with magnificent views. Appetizers: The Feast of Lanterns Firecracker Shrimp were all they were supposed to be…crispy, spicy and bite-sized. I could have eaten…
Fish Hopper – Monterey, CA
A hotel employee recommended the Fish Hopper for dinner. We were greeted and seated quickly. The view was beautiful but the restaurant was a tad warm. Our server was very energetic and friendly. We ordered the “Award Winning Clam Chowder”. It was bland, requiring a lot of salt and pepper. The sourdough rolls were a…
Spindrift Inn – Monterey, CA
My daughter, Kate, graduated high school in June. For her graduation my mother and I took her to Monterey, Carmel and San Francisco. We had an amazing trip and enjoyed every second of it. We flew into San Jose, rented a car and drove to Monterey. We stayed at the Spindrift Inn on Cannery Row….
Jaxx Steakhouse – Addison, TX

La Calle Doce – Dallas, TX
I tried La Calle Doce in Lakewood for lunch with a friend this week. I loved it the moment I walked in. The bright, clean white walls accented with blue ceramics and photos were wonderful. The chips and salsa were good. The Tacos de Pescado tasty, but the Sopa de Pescado was the show-stealer. Perfect…
Coppell Farmers Market
This morning I made a trip to the Coppell Farmers Market. It was a perfect way to start the Fourth of July. My first stop was Johnson’s Backyard Garden. Look at these beautiful striped eggplants! Next stop was Village Baking Company for some yummy bread. I bought a loaf of Meyer Lemon Rosemary and a…
