Fun things to do?
We decided to take a beautiful mini-road trip to Brenham, Texas. Brenham is a city in Washington County. Brenham is also home of Blue Bell Ice-cream and Truth BBQ. Truth BBQ has been on the top ten list of Texas Monthly magazine. When Daniel approached me with trying it out, I was game to go…
Have you ever been in the mood to try something fancy, light, and sweet? I was having a hint of a sweet tooth, but it HAD to be worth it! I wanted something better than a donut, something more than a cookie, and something different than crème brûlée...I searched online because now my desire is…
If I told you that there is a place for adults and kids to have fun would you believe me? Well, tucked in West University in Houston is an incredible place, Little Matt’s. Little Matt’s is every parent, kid, teenager, and pet’s dream. Pets? Yes, you read that right! Even pets are welcomed here. Everyone…

With the exception of pubs, it has been fairly hard to find restaurants serving up English Welsh and Scottish inspired cuisine in Chicago. That is, up until recently. Popping up on the restaurant and food truck scene are mobile meat pies and pasties, both representing a long tradition that hasn't been well represented here in…
The Standard is a great place to find organic, vegetarian, vegan, and local items for your pantry, fridge, or to fill your stomach. Brooklyn Standard Deli offers up a wide variety of locally sourced goods, vegetarian and vegan friendly sandwiches, and other essentials you'd hope to find at the local corner store. The Standard is…
Sometimes, eating is more about the experience than the food. I had just that experience on a recent trip to Galveston, Texas. Star Drug Store, who claims to be “The Oldest Drug Store in Texas” by default also claims the oldest soda fountain and lunch counter in Texas. I had to go experience it for…
