Relaxing

I've been reading about the calming factors of having a lavender plant in your home. I was at Whole Foods in Lakewood after work yesterday, and they have a lovely plant selection.

Today's Lunch Outing

A friend and I went to Lumi Kitchen off McKinney and Hall Street. They serve empanadas and dumplings. We split 3 different dishes - (sorry I didn't get pictures but I will next time)

* (6) Shrimp, Cilantro & Jicama Steamed Dumplings - served with sweet and sour sauce
* (3) Spinach, Mozzarella, & Portabella Empanadas -served with cilantro cream sauce
* (6) Blue Crab & Cream Cheese Wontons - served with sweet chili sauce

All were "tapas" size - and fabulous. See link below.
