One of the many things you can do in Dallas is go out to eat, something I hardly ever do, but today was an exception. I took Ma LSP and Sister #2 to a bistro in Knox Henderson, Toulouse. What a lot of fun, and the food was good to boot, in that French kind of way.
Mussels Mariniere for me, some kind of trout for my sister and onion soup for Ma LSP. Delicious, good service, pleasant trad bistro ambiance, and reasonably priced. What a pleasant change; go to Toulouse if you're in Dallas and want that kind of thing.
Mussels, trout and soup over, we strolled 100 yards to yet another bistro, the place is swarming with them. This one's called The Knox and might be a step up from Toulouse, with its open, airy interior, higher prices and most attentive staff. Not as boheme as Toulouse, if you know I mean.
Whatever, the place was pleasingly empty and we ordered coffee, sorbet and something called "Limoncello" for Ma LSP. Limoncello is a lemony liqueur, and it's Italian though evidently adopted by the French. Sister #2 remarked, "Limoncello is considered 'naff." I thought about this, "As in Essex, common? Yet here we are." Ha, ha. So that was fun, check out The Knox, if you're in the mood for yet more bistro style fun.
Then we strolled over yonder to Cole, made a left turn and ambled over to Sid Mashburn, which makes suits, bespoke and to measure. I was taken with a M2M, dark blue, 2 button, high twist, lightweight suit. English cloth, classic fit, and reasonably priced. + they have a gang of tailors in house to make the wretched suit measure or, if you want, make the beast from scratch.
I'll revisit that place and you might want to go too, if you're in the business of suits and all of that. If you do, ask for Roger, he's good and a friend of BW, sister #3. So there you have it, a fun day out with family in the Metrosprawl. Great Result.
Commanche Moon,
LSP
