    Morning Walk

    4 hours ago in the United States ⛅ 63 °F

    I know a morning walk doesn’t count as adventurous unless you’re wearing your Christmas pajamas while you do it.

    The other day, my friend Amy said that it was hard to be motivated to walk, but she gets up and immediately goes for a walk and that helped her. I thought I’d try it. It worked.

    This may become my new normal walking and my Christmas pajamas since I have about 8 pair. Lol. I got my walk in that’s what’s important.    Read more

    Eiland Coffee

    Yesterday in the United States ☁️ 68 °F

    Julia enjoys this coffee enough for us to buy beans from there to make coffee at home. So I thought this must be fantastic coffee.

    They have two locations one is the roasters, which is normally where we go and the second one is a café that serves pastries and such along with your ability to buy beans and coffee. As you can see, I went to the one with the pastries.

    I know that decaf has a whole different process. But so much of the decaf cappuccinos/lattes that I’ve had here in Dallas have tasted like coffee grounds. There’s no smoothness no elegance to it. Yes I got spoiled in Italy. That’s the truth.

    So I am decided I am done with coffees for now. Because it’s just destroying the memory of the lovely drinks I had when I was overseas. I realize I give more grace to things when I’m traveling but taste is taste wherever you are. I think I’m gonna let the decaf cappuccinos be a vacation thing.

    I will still have adventures at cafés because Julia loves coffee and it’s a nice way to get out and see your surroundings.    Read more

    H Mart food hall

    November 8 in the United States ⛅ 68 °F

    Julia and I tried out another coffee shop since this whole weekend. I have not gotten my coffee because of one thing or another. The place is called Paris Baguette and it’s inside the food hall of H Mart. Besides coffee we also tried cheesecake tarts that were crème brûlée and tiramisu. They were good, but I don’t think I’d get them again. My decaf cappuccino was great though the milk was scolding hot. So I had to wait quite a while before I could actually drink it and let me tell you I’m not good at that. I burned my tongue and roof of my mouth.

    At first, when you walk in to H Mart, the closer you get to the grocery part of it the more it smells like fish. Well, the bakery is right across from the grocery and you don’t smell bakery smell smells you smell fish smell smells. At first that put me off. But once you’re at the bakery for a minute or two, those smell subside and you can actually enjoy yourself sitting in their little café.

    I’ve been to a couple of H Mart in DFW area over the last couple of years. I always thought that all the stores and and restaurants and shops were all a part of H Mart. But my understanding now is that H Mart is the grocery store and all the other shops and such are their own business. They just happen to be within the walls of H Mart. I know that’s confusing. I’m confused myself.    Read more

    Royal Park

    November 8 in the United States ☁️ 70 °F

    Julia and I went on a walk this afternoon at a park that Julia spotted while she was driving. I’ve actually been here before and the park connects with the Northaven Trail.

    She has been so good about suggesting walks so I can get my 10,000 steps in. Today was the first day since I’ve been back that I actually got over 10,000 steps.

    I’m getting my momentum back.    Read more

    The Nest Craft

    November 8 in the United States ☁️ 64 °F

    Julia picked out a lovely coffee joint for us to try this morning since I did not get any coffee yesterday.

    It’s a nice little spot close to the galleria kind of hidden behind building buildings that are on Alpha. Which means you don’t get a lot of of the traffic noise, which is nice. There’s plenty of patio space to sit outside, definitely dog friendly.

    It’s a cute spot I like the look and feel of it. I thought it was new but it’s been open a couple of years.

    There was a huge mixup in our coffees so I still didn’t get a coffee let me just say that. They do have decaf options, though something went wrong today.

    Our waiter Peter was nice and very, very quiet and very very shy. And wasn’t actually a very good waiter. When I ask one of the experienced waitresses that knew what she was doing if she could take over for him, she talked to the manager and that could not happen, but she did inform us that today was his first day. That changed my whole perception of him. He was totally overwhelmed. What looked like being a slacker and bad at what you’re doing was about being new at something. The thing is it was the experience waitress that told us. It was his first day otherwise we would’ve never known and probably never gone back to that coffee shop again. So as Ted Lasso would say “be curious and not judgmental.”

    So we spoke to Peter and told him he needed to tell people today was his first day and they would give him grace. It’s funny after all that had transpired. I wasn’t upset. I didn’t get my coffee after all. I told him I’d come back again just to see him.

    Just FYI, the food was good. We had the smoked salmon bruschetta, and the craft deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were my favorite part, but I did try the salmon. Just a little too fishy for me in the morning. They were very stylish with their plating, which was lovely though as Julia pointed out she didn’t really want to have to assemble her food.

    We’ve decided we go back and try brunch. Keep you posted.    Read more

    Celestial Park

    November 7 in the United States ☁️ 66 °F

    I needed to do a little walk after eating all those carbs, especially the donuts with Nutella chocolate.
    This place was just down the street from Lucky dog. It was lovely park. Today there was some cloud cover so it was very mild and beautiful out, but there were plenty of park benches in the shade to just sit and relax in the quiet beauty.

    ————————-
    Celestial Park is a peaceful green retreat nestled in the area featuring a celestial theme.

    Brunch girls at Lucky Dog

    November 7 in the United States ☁️ 63 °F

    We planned on going to a different restaurant for
    brunch. It said that it had a patio, but it was not a dog friendly patio and we had Mo to contend with. So Julia couldn’t found a different place for us to eat that was dog friendly.

    The company was great. The food wasn’t anything to speak of. It was enjoyable to catch up with the gals.

    The joy on Kalyse’s face when the waiter brough her is pumpkin spice latte.    Read more

    Native Coffee

    November 7 in the United States ☁️ 61 °F

    Since I became obsessed with decaf cappuccinos, I’ve decided to use that as part of my adventurous life. I’ve never really been to any coffee shops around town because I don’t really drink coffee. Julia loves coffee and has been to many places so I thought that every weekend we could go to at least one new place.

    As we were headed up to Addison for brunch, I thought we’d stop in Carrollton at this coffee shop. Apparently, right now it’s in a temporary location till they wait for their new location to be completed and so Google Maps was having a hard time getting us here. The space that they’re using right now is quite beautiful and I was excited thinking this was the spot, but indeed it was not. And the other strike against them is they don’t do decaf coffees whatsoever. And are unapologetic about it. So I was a bit bitter this morning. Julia did get her coffee and said it was fine. There was nothing spectacular about it. So the great thing is we don’t ever have to go to native coffee again.

    Next time I will do my research and make sure there’s coffee I can drink.    Read more

    Sweet Lizzie’s Bakery

    November 6 in the United States ☁️ 66 °F

    Since returning from my month, long trip to Europe, I’ve been trying to figure out how to keep the adventure alive.

    It’s difficult here in Dallas specifically because you don’t have a lot of walkable places. So you have to have intent to go and have an adventure.

    So I’ve decided to do just that, have intent.

    Sweet Lizzie’s bakery is one of our favorite vendors at the Coppell farmers market. We buy freeze dried fruit from her every week. In doing so we’ve really gotten to know her. A couple weeks ago she had carpal tunnel surgery and was having a hard time having enough product to sell at the market. So I offered my time.

    It’s a funny thing about offering your time, help or whatever you wanna call it. People still feel like they’re asking for help which is a very difficult thing to do and I know that from my experience, but I also know when people offer the help they offer it because they want to do it not because they have to. I wasn’t sure if she would call. But she did and I was so glad.

    I got to hang out with Lizzie for a couple hours, see her operation and help her get product ready. I stuffed freeze dried food into bags for her and it was lovely to do something different. Just being in a different environment with different people is an adventure.    Read more
