This month I’m throwing you a curve ball! It’s not often I step too far out of my bubble to eat, but a recent trip north to catch a concert at Winstar called for a sense of adventure. Searching for a spot to grab a quick dinner, Denton provided many options. After a search on […]

Nashville may be known as the “Music City” and music it has but on my recent visit I discovered a few other gems that make it a must-see-city. Having visited Nashville many moons ago, I wondered how the city had changed. My first indication was the event I was attending, Nashville Vegfest. A first in […]

Here’s Part 2 of my recent visit to Austin, which I call Austin Vegan Limits because well…there are no limits to their vegan food; none that I’ve yet to find anyhow. Sunday morning we were up before dawn. Our daughter was competing in her first Ironman. As her mother I was there to offer mental […]

This was meant to be a quick review of my weekend in Austin. After penning 1,000 words, I thought I’d spare you and make this a double feature. I mean we all know great music happens within the city limits of Austin but if you’re vegan you know that it doesn’t just stop with the […]

If you didn’t know, Spring arrived yesterday and there are so many reason why we should all be very excited about that. Snow anyone? Ha! Not really funny for those of you still having old man winter hang around. Me, I’d be happy to welcome Spring if it wasn’t for a bout of the flu […]

March came in with a fury, would you agree? Having stood on the notion that we were experiencing a “mild” winter, I was quickly corrected that we would not indeed be so lucky. A couple a weeks of bitter cold, ice, snow, then more ice and snow reminded me that nature can be a subtle […]

“If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes (and it will change)” is a weather saying in many parts of the world. Mark Twain (1835-1910) is often credited with originating it, but there is no record that he ever said it nor do I doubt he ever made his way to Texas to witness […]

We all have that familiar food that we crave that will forever hold a special place in our heart, I mean stomach. Food that takes us back to perhaps simpler days, old friends, and cherished memories. Vegan or not, I know you’re with me on this one. Food today can seem so…fussy! The revolution of food […]

I can’t believe it is the first week of a New Year. Holy Smokes!!! I’m still wondering where the heck December went. Oh, right…it was lost somewhere between packing, moving, unpacking, mourning the unexpected death of my best pal Abbott, which all put a big dent on celebrating my birthday, and nursing a cold turned […]

If you’re having turkey as the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving meal, I assume you’ve already purchased one. I say assume because as a former turkey purchaser and roaster I know that it takes a couple of days in the fridge to thaw. Perhaps though, you’ve taken advantage of a grocery store special that offers a […]
