It's in Dallas

@

Inwood & Lovers Lane

I love the atmosphere

my appetizer:

 "Marshmallow" Soup

 tomato carrot bisque

topped with 

goat cheese

"marshmallow" mini soufflés

with a basil/pesto drizzle

 our bread....

so good

 my entree: crab soufflé

 our dessert:

strawberry soufflé

This restaurant is my new favorite

I can't wait to go there for dinner

My crab soufflé would have been perfect

with a glass of white wine

Texas Vanilla Extract

I've been wanting to make my own vanilla for a while

I was inspired after reading 

this blog post

on the  

The Meaning of Pie

 I used Tito's Homemade Vodka

made here in Texas

I ordered these vanilla beans

from

JR Mushrooms & Specialties 

based on

the recommendation of

The Meaning of Pie

I made 2 batches

one for me

&

one for my foodie friend, Misty! 

I cannot wait to use it !
