Fall is in full swing here in Tulsa! Finally!
The leaves are yellow and red, the air is crisp and The Sooners are playing. (At least I think they are ! That no score game was something else) And with every new season, comes new menus at our favorite Tulsa restaurants.
Amelia’s is one of our go-to favorites! And I was so thrilled to try out their new fall dishes. It was immediately clear that a ton of heart and soul went into every dish.

Rodge and I are always on the hunt for good coffee in Houston and as big as the city is-I am telling you good coffee is hard to come by there! I have no idea why because Dallas and Austin have great coffee but Houston has just stumped us on the coffee scene! Of course you can find flavored fancy lattes and cappuccinos but I am talking about some really nice smooth espresso.
We discovered Wolfsmith Heights in our fave area of Houston-The Heights!

If there is one recipe I can never get enough of, it’s homemade salsa. If you have an affinity for salsa like I do, you always have some on hand.. While buying a ready made option can be more practical if you’re crammed for time making it from scratch is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and packs so much more flavor!!

These are a few questions that usually slide into my dm’s weekly!!!
Are there any French TV shows on Netflix?
What is the most watched TV show in France?
How can I get access to more French TV?
I am really feeling the lapse of French cinema and wonder if you notice that too?
French movies are popular around the world, but they are not always easy to access for everyone. Current streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu don’t offer a wide range of French movies and programs and they are often only available for a limited time. France creates about the same number of films as the U.S., but French movies are underrepresented in streaming platforms for a variety of reasons. These include movie company inefficiencies in distribution and internationalizing production along with changing habits of how consumers watch films. Streaming took off during the first pandemic year and the industry is trying to catch up.

New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment, and for good reason,” says Chris Milligan. “All you have to do is look around for five minutes and you’ll understand why.” Known locally as the “Santa Fe Barman,” Milligan is a 20-year bar veteran currently working at Secreto Lounge, where the seasonal cocktail program captures the ethos of Santa Fe’s down-to-earth community. “Everything begins with food and drink in Santa Fe,” he says. “It’s embedded not only in our routines but in our culture. Whether it’s a concert on the plaza, Saturday at the farmer’s market or an annual event like New Mexico Cocktails & Culture, everyone comes out to celebrate.” I could not agree more Chris!!!
