I am so ready to sip a few glasses of champagne as I say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012. I’m just not too sure I can wait til the 31st… Sigel’s on Greenville may be seeing me sooner than later.

I love when people give me homemade gifts, don’t you? Homemade gifts reflect an investment of time and the thoughtful nature of the gift giver. Last year a dear friend gave me some hot chocolate mix that I thought it was a fabulous gift. While browsing Freshly Pressed, I found a mouthwatering post from a [...]

Last evening, while meeting for the Silver Dollar Ball, I had the pleasure to having some fabulous wines at a Wine Cellar at The Shops at Starwood shopping center in Frisco. One of the wines that stood out in my mind is Nature’s Own Marula Cream Wine Cocktail. It’s a wine drink that looks like Bailey’s but has a [...]
All Hail the Mambo Taxi
Wednesday’s Mr. Mesero post got me thinking about how much I love Mi Cocina…and the Mambo Taxi.

If you are in Dallas, stop by the location in Galleria Dallas [...]

Roy’s features an Hawaiian Fusion menu. The restaurant is owned by James Beard Award-winner Roy Yamaguchi. Mr Yamaguchi started the restaurant in 1988 in Honolulu, Hawaii. [...]

Cooler weather is on the way. A chill in the air leaves me craving drinks like cider, hot buttered rum or my favorite, a hot toddy – a classic drink made with tea and brandy or whiskey with honey and lemon. I am sure Jack Daniel’s intended for me to enjoy their latest honey infused liquor [...]

I don’t drink soda anymore but I want to try this… Remember the final project from this past season of Celebrity Apprentice: The branding of 7Up Retro? Nothing like 70′s and 80′s styled cans! I love that 7Up Retro is made with real sugar…the way soda used to be made. I love how bottlers are going back to [...]
