Flapjacks & A Flick!

Okay, I am a really awful food blogger here....BUT, I have some fun news that might make up for that! :)

Most of the Movie Tavern locations (excluding Ridgmar) are having Flapjacks & A Flick each Saturday, starting December 6th thru January 3rd, 2009. It's all-you-can-eat pancakes, select drinks, and a family movie! Price is $8.50 for kids and $10 for adults. If I didn't have anything going on this Saturday, we might go. And we'll be out of town next week for Christmas. I think on the 3rd though, we're totally there. ;)

FYI: according to their website, only certain movies will be offered each Saturday. You can find the schedule & more info here: www.movietavern.com


And on a side note, I will have an actual review coming soon: Frilly's!

I am such a bad blogger...

I wanted and wanted to start this blog, and what have I done with it in the last two weeks? NADA! Shame on me. Eventually, I will actually go out to eat somewhere that's not a chain place, and write a review here. Eventually. ;)

In the meantime, it's Halloween! If you want to see lots of scary things, go here: CakeWrecks! But don't do it at work, unlike me. ;) Shhhhhhhh.......

another ones bites the dust...

Sorry about the title....the only other thing that came to mind was "goings and comings", which reminds me of our trip to IL last year for Thanksgiving. The joke shall remain unmentioned. lol

Anyway, thought it might be worth mentioning if you haven't noticed. "Der Weinerschnitzel" as my husband called it, located at Loop 288 near Golden Triangle Mall, has closed. BUT in its place will be a new Mi Casita! (For the record, I think Mi Casita has really good cheese enchiladas. FYI if you like cheese enchiladas.) This will be Mi Casita's 4th location in/near Denton (2 in Denton, and 1 supposedly in Lake Dallas, although their website does not mention an address. I've driven by it before though. Odd!) I don't know when it's opening - the sign just says coming soon. For more info, you can visit Mi Casita online.

all about the blog...

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my humble little blog here. Thought the first post here should give a little info about the blog, in case anyone cares. ;)

My name is Missy, and I live about 30 miles north of Dallas, TX, in Denton. Married, one child (a five-year old who wants to be a Transformer), one dog...basically we are about 1.265 children and .5 dog short of the typical nuclear family. One of my favorite things to do is go out to eat (trying new restaurants especially!) One of my other recent favorite things is blogging. :D I think my ultimate job would combine both of these hobbies; when I grow up I want to be a restaurant reviewer! (I think the more professional term is "food critic" but that just sounds pretentious to me. Food critics never like anything. I mean, I AM somewhat picky, but not that picky!*)

Anyway, I started doing some searching, and didn't find any good blogs on dining in & around the Denton area. Dallas has guidelive.com, which features Dallas-area restaurants once a week, but Denton is rarely featured. Since I couldn't find anything, I decided to start my own blog dedicated to restaurant reviews in Denton! Most of my reviews are going to focus on the "mom & pop" type restaurants, seeing as everyone is probably familiar with the chain places. Not that I don't like the chain places, because I do (some of them I like a lot), but I wanted to bring attention to the places that are maybe skipped over a lot of the time. Like the mexican restaurant that is across the street from a beauty salon/nightclub/chainsaw repair place (I am not making this up! I have witnesses!) Talk about one-stop shopping...Walmart could learn a thing or two from them! lol

So...I have two reviews kind of floating around in my head. Hopefully there will be actual reviews written soon. Check back!

*okay, fine, I am very picky about cheese enchiladas. I'll give you that one...
