Recently when Lee and I were on a date at a restaurant we decided that our hobby is eating out at different restaurants. I love to get my D Magazine or Texas Monthly and cut out articles about new restaurants in Dallas that they recommend. I also love the D Best reviews of restaurants and the Dallas Observer Best of Dallas. I had amassed a large pile of these cut out articles, so this past weekend I decided to write down in the computer all of the restaurants that I wanted to try. I included restaurants that I had been to before if the article recommended a certain dish that I wanted to try. I have 179 restaurants in Dallas and Fort Worth that I either 1) have not been to and want to try or 2) have been to and want to try a certain dish, dessert, or cocktail that was recommended. I do not know how I feel about the large number of restaurants that are on my list, but I do love to eat! (Thank God for Weight Watchers!)
Through this adventure I found a lot of parks that had been included in Best of articles that I had clipped out. I put them in the GPS in the car and also put in an ice cream place that sounded delish. Today we visited Mel's Ice Cream in Richardson. It was so good! Peanut butter ice cream with Reese's peanut butter cups... and the kids size was as big as a melon! Next time I want to try the shaved ice, there was a lady that came in and got two cups of just ice, no topping... she said the ice was good on its own...

you are such a fun mom!
Yes! It can be a hobby - and a good one, too! (We're still waiting for this month's Texas Monthly to make it's way to our mailbox -- I saw the cover article was Patricia Sharpe's survey of good cheap eats in Texas, and I can't wait to read it!)
Ok, let me know whenever you want to go. My list is long. I bet they have many places in common!
