    I'm so happy to see she opened her own place! It looks amazing! I will definetly have to visit when I go to Texas. I hope it will make Chuck happy that I flew in from the UK just to try her BBQ... and see my friends ;)

You ladies still greeted us and gave us a complimentary dessert and green juice since you had sold out. (Both were great by the way!) We thought that was so kind and generous of y'all! We will make it back sometime to try the meats 😊😊

      There is hot chocolate and it tastes good. Then there is hot chocolate using these Mexican blocks that tastes amazing. Imagining them being used outside of their traditional use makes you imagine how wonderful it must taste. Brings a tear to the eye of anyone who grew up with this hot chocolate. This is because it brings back childhood memories of time spent with your parents or grandparents. Hope I explained it.
