I had a great time getting together with Kari, one of my best friends, for lunch.  We decided on Chopsticks to catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives.

I was feeling sushi, so I started with an eel roll.

My all time favorite roll to chow down on.

Kari decided on General Tao’s Chicken and rice.

I think it was a good choice!

I’m also sure this is our favorite restaurant in town, we always pick Chopsticks.

More sushi  (volcano roll)

010

Usually the volcano rolls are delicious, but I wasn’t feeling this one.  I think it was made in a hurry and too much sauce was added, on top.

So I ate a few rolls and left the rest.

Later that evening, Chris and I headed out to ‘’Taste of Dallas’’.  It was too hot outside, so we lingered around the inside booth areas to cool off. 

I had planned on checking out more booths to sample food, but the inside area with the jewelry shops had most of my attention.

We did check out Trailer Cakes, which was a really cute, local bakery selling mini-cupcakes.

I tried their popular PB&J cupcake, which the booth lady stated was awesome… and of course it was DELICIOUS!!

Then it was Spazmatic time!

I had to capture them singing Vanilla Ice, but ‘’Jessie’s Girl’’ is my favorite song they sing.

 

 

Definitely a fun weekend!

I was asked to participate in Chevy ‘’Driving the Heartland- BBQ Tour’’ this past weekend. I’m talking food, and fun which had this ‘’foodie’’ loving every second.

Hello, BEAUTIFUL!

All mine for the whole weekend…can you believe it??? I

was told a Chevy vehicle would be delivered to my house on Friday afternoon. I wasn’t aware of the model of vehicle until the Event company left me a voice mail message, that I had to play back FOUR times in order to make sure I was not dreaming.

Participating bloggers were all given a different Chevy vehicle to test drive.

We met up Saturday afternoon to sample delicious Texas BBQ…lots of meat, around Dallas. Our challenge was to use the OnStar features on our vehicles; guess each clue given to us, then using OnStar head to the next dining location.

Our first stop was Sonny Bryan’s BBQ , the Original location, in Dallas.

I had no problem eating a second ring, after trying a rib and brisket.

Everyone enjoyed the smoked sausage, ribs, brisket while sipping on sweet tea.

I’m talking delicious, finger-licking Southern food!

More to come….

Do you like BBQ, what’s the best BBQ you’ve ever tasted? I love family cookouts and my grandmothers ribs!

Blogger Dinner!

Wednesday night, Denton/Dallas Bloggers got together for dinner at Mr. Chopsticks in Denton.  It’s my favorite restaurant in town, that serves delicious sushi, vegetarian and meat dishes.
