He has been disabled for years, and after his parents both passed away, he has been on his own, trying to wade through all of the legal paperwork that no one but a lawyer would understand. He can't use his one arm and can't speak, but he can understand everything you say. I can't imagine how hard it must be to try and communicate with people when most don't have the patience to try and understand what you are trying to say.</p><p>A house flipper who is also allegedly a Lawyer and Broker is trying to take advantage of Woody and take the homes from him that his parents left to him.

I don't know how she does it, but year after year Monica always welcomes us like we are best friends, and makes us feel like we are family and VIPs. New Year's Eve was no exception - Monica greeted every guest personally, and her three-course menu complete with bubbles was the best deal in town.<br />
It was hard to choose, but I started off with the Poblano Corn Soup, and my guest tried the Spinach Salad with Root Vegetables. We both went with the vegetarian options and were thrilled with both. Perfectly seasoned, and I would be happy to dine on both of them every day.<br />
<br />

The second course I chose the Shrimp Diablo Risotto. I've ordered this in the past, and even though I don't like seafood I LOVE this dish! Lots of heat, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and a large enough portion that I'll be enjoying it tomorrow as well.<br />

And did I forget the cocktails? I have tried some of the specialty ones, but you just can't go wrong with the Margarita. Top shelf, fun garnish, and the perfect size.<br />
<br />

The third course was, of course, my favorite, but it was really hard to choose. Since I have been working on Dulce de Leche recipes I passed on that, but the Warm Mexican Bread Pudding was something we'll be remembering this decade for. Hot, spicy, and memorable.<br />
<br />
As always, Monica made us feel special and we can't wait to go back.

There is a reason we are Dallas Dwellers. We love seeing what a strong community Dallas is, and when one of our own has a need we come together and help.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving morning a man who is very dear to the Dallas food, fashion, and arts community had a stroke that left him in ICU for an extended period of time. Like so many he didn't have health insurance, and he has not only had to worry about getting better, he also has to think about how he is going to pay for that life saving care. This is a lesson to all of us.<br />

We are so happy that not only are our regular farmer's markets open, we even have a new one that is quickly becoming our favorite.<br />
<br />
The Dallas Farmers Market has new management, and we've become disillusioned with what they are doing, so we decided to check out some of the other options that as Dallas Dwellers we have.<br />

We started shopping at the <a href="http://www.goodlocalmarket.org/" target="_blank">Good Local Markets</a> last year, and were thrilled that they added one every Saturday morning in Oak Cliff. The nicest farmers and artisans with fair pricing and a wonderful selection - you have to get there early though because they keep selling out!<br />
<br />
Their tag line is "Only Local. All Good." and their mission is to strengthen the local food economy. We will share more soon, but know we'll be eating well having these markets in the neighborhood.<br />
<h2 class="vc_custom_heading" style="color: #fbf8f2; font-family: Lato; font-size: 40px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; text-align: center;">
Our mission is to strengthen the local food economy and create awareness of the social, environmental and health benefits of growing and eating local food. With new and continuing programs, Good Local Markets promotes the health of our communities, the health of local businesses and the health of our local food system.</h2>

The <a href="http://www.usafilmfestival.com/" target="_blank">USA Film Festival</a> truly is a year round film celebration, and it's amazing the quality of guests and films that they celebrate throughout the year. This week they hosted another sold out screening of the charming new film <a href="http://www.florencefosterjenkinsmovie.com/" target="_blank">Florence Foster Jenkins</a>, and Simon Helberg was in attendance to introduce the show.<br />
<br />
We are thinking this is going to be a huge hit - everyone who was fortunate enough to be a member of the festival and reserve a seat wasn't disappointed - they loved it! The film also stars Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, and will be opening on August 12th.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859288843929928467.post-36486631338330014672016-04-17T08:20:00.001-07:002016-04-17T08:27:40.574-07:00Celebrating National Eggs Benedict Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lunch is our favorite meal of the week, and lucky for us there are lots of Dallas destinations to enjoy it at.<br />
Our
new favorite is <a href="http://www.luckdallas.com/" target="_blank">LUCK </a>in <a href="http://www.trinitygroves.com/" target="_blank">Trinity Groves</a>. We have been attending their
beer and donut pairings which are really fun, but digging in to their
Pastrami Eggs Benedict is what keeps me coming back every chance that I
get.<br />

Jeff Lewis in Collin County? It's true. He was the featured star at the <a href="http://showtechnology.com/event/annual-collin-county-home-garden-show/" target="_blank">Collin County Home & Garden Show</a>, a fact that wasn't very well published but this Dallas Dweller is in the know!<br />

If you are as much of a fan as I am of team Jeff Lewis you are aware of the <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/jeff-lewis-reveals-why-he-got-fired-from-living-spaces" target="_blank">"Channagate" scandal</a> where he was fired from a styling gig with Living Spaces - a company that I am so happy to say is not in Dallas because I'd be boycotting them. Jeff understands how important his fans are and they are as loyal as you will find anywhere - the fact that #Channagate #firedforwhat and #JusticeforJeff are a great example.<br />

We really enjoyed going down to the Dallas Farmers Market this weekend and learning about <a href="http://www.plated.com/">Plated</a> - a service that delivers the portioned ingredients and recipes to help you prepare meals at home. An interesting concept that might be a great resource especially for singles or empty nesters.<br />
<br />
One of the things I really enjoyed was their focus on spices - they even had you take a "spice quiz" to find out which was the perfect spice for you. I was Cumin which makes sense - one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
Spices are a flavor loaded way to enhance a dish without adding a lot of calories - this experience has challenged me to get into the kitchen and be more creative with what I use.<br />

I was going through some old posts and found this one from 2005.<br />
<br />
Ciudad was such a great restaurant - can't wait until <a href="http://www.joannebondy.com/">Chef Joanne Bondy</a> opens <a href="http://www.stocksandbondy.com/">Stocks & Bondy</a> at the Dallas Farmers Market!<br />
<br />
Last night I went to my favorite restaurant that happens to be in Dallas -<a data-mce-href="http://www.ciudaddf.com" href="http://www.ciudaddf.com/"> Ciudad</a>.
The food is always incredible and Chef Joanne Bondy was in the kitchen.
As we were happily enjoying our appetizer, a very handsome man walked
past who looked familiar, and it turned out to be Val Kilmer!<br /><br />Apparently he has been in New Orleans shooting a new film tentatively titled <em>Deja Vu</em>.
Shooting was set to start just before Katrina ravaged the area, but the
film and it's crew was one of the first to return and bring some much
needed business to the area after the storm.<br /><br />Great news - Mr.
Kilmer was apparently a welcome guest - polite, engaging, you never
would have known he was a "star" if it wasn't for that famous face.<br /><br />One
of the reasons that Ciudad is so successful even after 6 years is that
everyone is treated like a star, and you never know when you'll see one!<br />

We have lived in Dallas for awhile but can't remember having this much consistent rain in ages.<br />
<br />
The benefit? Everything is green, temps have stayed down and there are lots of great photo opportunities we haven't had before.<br />

We packed up the tripods and cameras last weekend to get some shots of the swollen Trinity River and Dallas skyline.
