Or you could go today, while it’s still May. (I bust rhymes in my spare time.) The New York Times featured the new Dallas location of Dune Living. For those who don’t know, the store is noted for its modern furniture. The original Dune is in Tribeca, and the products can also be found in the very cool NYC store ABC Home. And now it’s in LFT in Victory. (Which, dear readers, you know I seem to blog about almost exclusively. If one didn’t know better, it might seem as though I’m angling for a condo at the W or something.) Take special note of the picture. It’s by our friend, the talented and wonderful Allison V. Smith.
I sat down with Local chef Tracy Miller to talk about her obsession with peanut butter, her favorite cookbooks, and this month’s 11-year anniversary of Local. While chatting, I confessed my love for the rosemary nuts. If you don’t know about the rosemary nuts, call 214-752-7500 immediately for a reservation. She shared the list of ingredients with me, and I am going to attempt to duplicate the nuts at home. (I’ll let you know how that goes.) Ingredients are in the jump. For more on Miller, see our next issue. (more…)
