The Trio dessert, not bad, but the Lemon Meringue was the only one worthy of recommendation. Enjoy!
Mercantile (Rice Village)
Cute! I love this location! Not sure if the Montrose location is still there, but this one is much better! The interior could use a little help, but coffee is good, so that makes up for it. And on a beautiful day like it was yesterday, add the awesome people watching spot, it was perfect!
Little Liberty
Stumbled upon this gem, knew it existed, but wasn't sure where it was...and though it was a great spot, the food was only ok. The cheesy grits were awesome! The interior layout is pretty much the same as it was when it was Ruggles Cafe, but the design is different. We both got the egg scramble and like I said, it was ok. Maybe, I'll try it again, this time Waffles!
Vermicelli Tofu @Simply Pho
One of my favorite go-to meals when I want light and fresh!
Trying Ginger & Fork (Washington Corridor)
A friend of mine really wanted to visit, a week later, here we are. This used to be Pagoda, which didn't make it but since then, this has been the third restaurant occupying this space. Nice house. Based off of the exterior I'm not sure what to expect, high quality or low...the interior was ok...I started to notice things that made me realize it was looking like an average restaurant. But, we were still excited to try the food. The craft cocktails were interesting. I'm pregnant so I got a mocktail, which was just ok, but I wasn't expecting much. I didn't like either of the cocktails Oscar ordered, I think he thought they were ok too. Now...about the food! On the Happy Hour Menu we ordered, which was suggested by the owner, the Spicy Tofu Cubes, which was ok, Pork Dumplings, also ok, Cha Siu Sliders, again ok, and the Chow fun with Beef, which was the best, in my opinion. Oh yes, we also go the Fried Rice off the main menu and Oscar thought that was the best. Nothing we tried was bad, but nothing was very exciting...overall, I thought the food was all right and nothing special. And...I didn't really love the interior decor either...ho hum...
Nest Thermostat On Sale!
If you've been wanting to update your thermostat to the automated Nest thermostat like I have been...then this post is for you! These are typically $250 brand-new and never go on sale. But right now you can get them at Verizon wireless stores for $200! I got 2 and updated both myself! They're pretty easy to install. I even had to do a little spackling and some touch up painting, my first time ever. I got both my from the Verizon wireless retail store next to Starbucks on Yale and I-10.
Kuhl-Linscomb
If you haven't been, it's a must visit! 5 stores in one, basically a Bed Bath & Beyond, but 100 times better. Great place for fun gift ideas! These stuffed animals would be great for someone starting a baby nursery with an animal theme! :)
