A Long Weekend
With such gorgeous spring weather we’re having, take Friday off and head out for the weekend to the family-run Greer Farm, about 2 1/2 hours east of Dallas in Daingerfield. Bet you didn’t know we had anything like this within driving distance.
Williams-Sonoma Home Party Tonight
In the words of a co-worker, “do you enjoy free food, wine, and sales?” If so, join us for all three tonight at Williams-Sonoma Home at The Shops at Legacy. We are celebrating our new Best of Everything issue, so come grab a hot-off-the-presses copy and eat treats from George catering. Oh, and did I remind you about the 10 percent off any and everything? 6-8 p.m. 7300 North Dallas Pkwy.
Let’s Talk Meat
Did you know that May is National BBQ Month? Like teacher appreciation week and Black History Month, it’s more awareness than anything else. And because I don’t live with a barbecue expert (dad) anymore, it’s time to learn. Good ole J.W. Foster, the Fairmont’s chef, is reviewing all things Texas barbecue: preparing ribs, sausage, and brisket; using a variety of different woods to enhance the meat’s flavor; learning how to create your own sauces. Post-lecture, enjoy meat and libations. For reservations and details, call 214-720-5340. $95 per person.
La Cuesta Farm
This falls into the Who Knew? category. Beautiful goat’s milk cheese is produced on La Cuesta Farm, about an hour and a half outside of Dallas near Lake Whitney. Order online, or find their cheeses and other goat’s milk products in one of the groceries listed on the website. York Street Cafe and Parigi both serve their cheese.
