URBAN BLOSSOM ART EVENT
Please tell me that you have been to Addison Circle. It’s just one of the coolest little architectural enclaves in the city, that’s all. And if you haven’t had the pleasure, here’s an excuse: Tonight — Tuesday night — The Urban Blossom will open its doors from 7 to 9 p.m. to celebrate the work of Dallas artist Gregory Bergeron. I particularly like the piece shown here, Campanile. Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served. UB is located at 5035 Addison Circle East. 972.763.0808. RSVP at www.theurbanblossom.com.
TRADE SECRETS COMPANION
By now, I’m sure you’ve all run out and picked up the latest copy of D Home (that’s the garden I wrote about on our cover–mmmhmm, that’s right). If so, I’m sure you’ve turned to page 56 to read Christine Wilson’s fabulous story on the return to prominence of the Belmont Hotel and Fort Worth Avenue. Turns out, Christine dug up so many interesting facts about the area, we couldn’t possible fit them all in the magazine. So, as a gift to you, dear readers, we’re posting Christine’s insight into the Fort Worth Avenue Development Group here. Enjoy!

EINSTEIN’S CUT OF MEAT
I spent our stormy Saturday curled up with this book. While it is neither about Einstein nor new (it came out in 2002), I wanted to tell you to get it, if you haven’t already. My boyfriend is studying to be a chef, and for him it’s practical knowledge about the science of cooking. To me, each chapter was as fascinating as a short story. Still, I got plenty of science out of it. If I had read it earlier, I could have defended the poor butcher in Whole Foods who was being berated by a customer. Seems some of the rib eyes in the case had brown patches (not the ones on top, but the ones underneath). If you’ve read this book, you’ll understand why the ones underneath were supposed to be brown.
