RE: SNAPPY SALADS
Laura, we snap for Snappy over at Preston Forest — I wrote up the spot when it first opened. So happy to see they are opening a second location. And I hope we see more restaurants that forgo the greasy and fried for fresh and light. Our health depends on it. Which means I guess I’m headed to Cooper.
SHARE A SNAPPY SALAD WITH LAURA MILLER
Okay, you might not actually get to share your thoughts, hopes, dreams, or even a table with Mayor Miller at the Snappy Salads opening at NorthPark this Thursday, but you will be doing all manner of good. First, your body will thank you if you unhand the corn dog, and instead opt for a fresh, lovely, delicious Mexican, Cobb, Caesar, or any of the other salad selections. More importantly, 20 percent of the proceeds from the day’s sales (at both the NorthPark and Forest Lane locations) benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas. Two things: look for our assistant managing editor (she’s obsessed with the Snappy), and tell Mayor Miller that the good folks at D and D Home say hi. On second thought, maybe don’t mention D; just go with D Home.
CALVIN KLEIN @ AT MY TABLE
At My Table in Snider Plaza received the Calvin Klein Home place settings, stemware, and vases line. Since they abandoned us in HP Village, check it out here by calling 214-691-6816.
RE: WALL MARKER
Rebecca, I cannot believe the timing of your blog about the wall-marking chalk. I am in the process of rehanging about 6 frames after having my front hallway repainted. Thank you–this could be a marriage-saving tip.
BEST BUY: WALL MARKER
Some guy made a million bucks inventing this thing. Seems ridiculous but it’s brilliant. Essentially, it’s a piece of chalk shaped like an arrow with adhesive on the back. Stick it on the back of your picture, and it marks the wall in the exact spot for hanging. Stupidly simple. I wish I’d invented it and I wish I’d had one recently before I hammered a dozen holes in Muffin Lemak’s wall last week during a photo shoot. $2.99 at Amazon.
TEXAS LEGISLATURE SIGNS OFF
No property tax reform or, shall I say, relief on puffing up appraisals to net whatever may have been lost by said reform…four days left to protest…but blind people can now hunt. That should really lower our values.
