Web Chef Review: New York Flatbreads – Pumpernickel Everything
I’ve had a few of the flavors from New York Flatbreads before, which are numerous, like Sesame Seed… I love them.

Jackson-Triggs Proprietors’ Reserve Sparkling Wine for New Year’s
My husband was such a sweetheart yesterday morning.

Seafood Shack in Dallas – Restaurant Review
Okay, Kenney just brought me take-out on his way home from a place called “Seafood Shack” in Dallas. He’d never been there before, but decided to give it a chance. Kenney actually brought me home 1/2 dozen fresh oysters on the half shell packed in ice. I have never experienced oysters on the half shell for take-out. They were extremely fresh, not fishy at all, and came with all the fixins, key limes, hot sauce,...
What in the World Would You Like to Find Inside of an Oyster?
I was asked today… “If an oyster could produce something other than a pearl, what in the world do you think would be a cool thing to find in an oyster?” I explored a lot of options, including diamonds, my favorite food, lobster…even the whimsical, like music or sunshine…but since I was in an Easter mood… …What if you went and collected a bunch of Gulf oysters, and opened one up, only to be...
