Mmmm Flavored Olive Oil

Chris and I are in Napa for the Easter weekend visiting the parents. One of my first stops to the valley is always St. Helena Olive Oil Company, who has shops right outside of St. Helena and one on the main street as well.

I fell in love with their basil infused olive oil last time, and this time we discovered their garlic olive oil. Oh wow, melt in my mouth, I can't wait to cook with this and also just use it for dipping for some great bread (maybe rosemary sourdough from Eat Z's, perhaps). I stuck to my staples, getting bottles of the regular olive oil, made locally in the valley, basil, garlic and the always amazing jalapeno. The jalapeno is awesome for dipping, Mexican dishes and  on top of eggs of any sort (think Mexican egg scramble).

I picked up some extra bottles for friends and family, although I have a feeling I may be hoarding most of them.

For you out of towners, they do free shipping on orders over $100. The olive oils make wonderful hostess gifts, and would be great for you mothers (or mother-in-laws) as well....Mother's Day is in two weeks!!

Restaurant Review - Lockhart Smokehouse

We ventured in to Oak Cliff at around 7:30 last night to grab a bite to eat before the much anticipated Rebirth Brass Band show at the Kessler (more to come on that later). Was shocked to find out that at 7:30 (early right?) there was already an hour and a half wait at Bolsa and an hour wait at the new Glorias. So by process of elimination, we ended up at Lockhart.

For fans of the real Lockhart BBQ, this is your place. A sign proudly says, "No forks, No sauce, No Kidding." Um, well ok then.



We ordered by the half pound and tried their Kruez sausage and brisket along with the slaw and potato salad. I was pretty impressed with all we had as I feel like I haven't had the best BBQ in Dallas so far (I miss my Austin BBQ places). The sausage is different, so you need to be a fan of Kreuz (it's a 110 year old recipe). The bbq, hot sauce and house made seasoned salt were all so good I almost forgot how much I like bbq sauce for once!

Another plus is cheap drinks. Check their website for daily deals. I think this would be a great place to kick back on a Saturday afternoon with friends and watch some sports and gorge yourself.

Happy eating!! Don't forget the handy wipes!

I hate to admit it...

But I got a sample of the Jen Aniston perfume with some makeup I ordered from Sephora last week, and I really like it.

Notes: 
 Citrus Grove Accord, Rose Water, Jasmine, Violet, Amazon Lily, Musk, Amber, Sandalwood. 
Style: 
Sensual. Floral. Clean.


It is so refreshing and perfect for summer. I think I am too embarrassed to go in to the store and buy it, so I think I may be making another Sephora order very soon...Its only $39 for the smallest bottle, which will get me through these hot months in Dallas and at the lake.

Issa Collection - Coming to Net-A-Porter

Um hello lovely dresses....

Issa (The favorite designer of Kate Middleton) is doing a capsule collection for NetAPorter.com . I am in love with the cuts and colors I see in this sneak peek above, and I really want one. I wonder how much these are going to cost....and I wonder if they will go with my favorite shoes, me thinks so!

Should be launching late April....can't wait!

New Blog Title

So I figured it was about time I shed the SoBoredAtWork title since that seems to no longer be the case. It was great while it lasted right?

I have actually enjoyed this whole blogging thing over the past few months and figured I would keep it going for my lovely seven followers.

Thanks for sticking it out!

Bluebonnet Season!

Normally you see families pulling off the side of the road in Texas to take pictures of their children in the bluebonnets this time of the year, but we were the freaks taking pictures of our dog. Enjoy!
