Vicki came for her visit but I took very few photographs. Don't ask me why; I just didn't. We did, however, have a very good time.
On April 4, we brunched at Eden again, and again, it was great - mostly because our group is so dear. Here are Cindi Eades, Georgia Wright [seated], Molli Harris, Rose McElye [seated], Vicki and Danielle Gardner [seated]. Danielle, the consummate hostess, brought beautiful roses to adorn the table. We thought the roses would look good in our teeth, and so . . .
And here are Molli, Vicki, Rose, Cindi and Danielle as we leave. Not to worry, we're set to go back on May 3rd for another wonderful brunch. Yes, we're addicted to Eden.
While Vicki was here, we discovered a new [for us] burger joint - Stadium Cafe in Addison. Really great burgers with lots of Special Nights. Mondays, all burgers are $2.00, and on Wednesdays, all burgers are half price. Since we've give up on The Addison Point FOREVER, we will jump between Jake's and Stadium Cafe. I like SC more because you actually get a plate and cutlery. At Jake's, just a basket - eat your fries with your fingers. At SC you get a cloth napkin; Jake's gives you a role of paper towels. Jake's burgers are good but a little too greasy for my taste. I'll give a real review of SC the next time we go - hopefully, this Wednesday.
The Addison Point is off our dance card due to several reasons, two of which are: burgers have become tasteless and they appear to put another vodka in the Stoli bottle [confirmed by a former waitress we ran into]. We'd noticed a decline in the "regulars" and now know the reason why. Adios! Their new management sucks.
Vicki and I did some shopping, mostly for Josh, who turned ONE on 4.17. We watched several movies and just enjoyed being with each other.
On Easter, I made Beer Braised Beef [Steve proclaimed it as PERFECT]. I also made a sopapilla cheesecake [Wendy's recipe] which was so very good but so very, very rich.
A new grocery store opened in Plano: Market Street. It's terrific on so many levels. The staff is friendly, helpful and downright nice. There are no "cart return" slots in the parking lot. The bagger escorts you to your car and takes the cart back to the store. This frees up several parking spaces, lessens the risk of runaway carts banging into your car AND provides an escort to your car when it's dark or if you're alone. Service, service, service!!! After only two times in the store, the butcher remembered me! After several years of going to Tom Thumb, nada!!! Market Street is now MY grocery store - Jay likes it, too.
Today, while resting on my heating pad and with my back medication, I watched the HBO movie, Grey Gardens. WOW! Look for Emmys in September!
So, that's about it for now. I know; I know - boring!!!
But to whet your appetite, there just might be a rant in the near future.
Ciao for now.
