I think we can all agree that 2020 has made us need a drink or two…or three…who’s counting? But seriously, I’ve learned to take great joy in the simple things I failed to appreciate before the troubles of this year. Since we’re still (mostly) stuck inside, I haven’t been to many bars or restaurants to […]
A few weeks ago, I had lunch with some friends at Beto & Son in Dallas. It was my first time at the restaurant, but it was highly recommended. Plus, who doesn’t love some good Mexican food (or Tex-Mex)? I can make a meal out of chips and salsa alone. But I digress. Although this […]
I recently caught up with a great friend at a restaurant we both love, Pappadeaux. I tried two of the drinks there but decided to use one of them to share with you all today. In fact, I’ve been a little behind in getting my Thirsty Thursday reviews out but I digress. The first drink […]
Last Friday, Akela Renae and I hosted a holiday book signing event at one of my favorite restaurants, The People’s Last Stand. We had a great time at the event and had some great food too. Oh, and did I mentioned the drinks? You can never go wrong with any of the cocktails The People’s […]
I had the chance to visit San Francisco earlier this summer to celebrate one of my best friend’s birthday. Of course, a highlight of any trip is good food (well at least for me). Lao Table was one of the restaurants we tried. The restaurant specializes in Thai and Laotian cuisine. I love Thai food, […]
This past weekend, I celebrated the closure of my first novel series. I say first because I have no plans on doing another one. However, I do like to leave room for chance since I never had any intention on writing the first novel. Cookie’s Last Stand was a celebration of the end of an […]
So, if you’ve been following my last couple of blogs, you know I was recently diagnosed with gout. I typically post about drink reviews on Thursdays and today will be no different. However, this drink is likely one that you will not want to taste. The best things in life for us often don’t taste […]
Is it just me or is whiskey the new black? In addition, more establishments and drink labels are introducing flavors to their whiskey. Seems like a no-brainer type of idea. So, imagine my enthusiasm before I tried Crown Royal Peach. I tried not to get my expectations up too high (to avoid being potentially let […]
I went to Whiskey Cake in Plano, TX a couple of weeks ago for a happy hour with some friends. Wait. Before I go any further, if you have not had their delicious whiskey cake, your life is not yet fulfilled. Trust me, it’s that good. So, back to today’s focus. I decided to try […]
Now that we have made it through two of the most fattening holidays of the year (Thanksgiving and Christmas), everyone is looking for a reset. You know, starting off those New Year’s resolutions right. I don’t make resolutions or promises, because I know I’m one happy hour away from falling off the bandwagon. But hey, […]
