Greg
Gentry, Dr. Coffy Pieternelle and
Judge Jeff Branick were the rock ‘n’ roll honorees at Gift of Life’s Champagne
& Ribs on Thursday at Cowboy Harley-Davidson. The food was amazing, as is
to be expected. I heard there were Gigi’s Cupcakes in the tent and I got there
as fast as I could without knocking over the other guests. They were gone.
Word
is there were 500 cupcakes and they were gone “in a heartbeat.” No matter, the
rest of the spread and the company was great and it’s all for a great cause.
Ironically,
the next day, GIgi’s Cuopcakes came into my life. Someone had picked up a
Margarita one just for me and it was sweet and salty and weighed a ton. I
shared it with three other people. I also got a taste of the salted caramel and
chocolate cupcake that made me want to visit this new Beaumont bakery in
person.
Whipped
and tangy
Of
all the years Hellmann’s®
has been around, they’re just now introducing the brand’s first Real
Whipped Tangy Dressing. Not all of us Americans can get it. It’s exclusive to
the Mid-West and Central Region and made with high-quality ingredients like
oil, vinegar, cage-free eggs and select seasonings.
I visited www.hellmanns.com/realwhipped
and think that Jalapeno Jack Tuna Melts looks like something to try. My debut
of the dressing was for a cabbage slaw with cubed orange and ground jalapeno. I
like how the squeeze bottle fits well into the refrigerator door.
Le
Peep
When
I went to Le Peep Café’s bright new restaurant in downtown Beaumont, I ordered
something the waitress hadn’t tried, the Strawberry Patch salad. She asked me
how I enjoyed the spinach, berry, bleu cheese and Parmesan-crusted chicken and
I suggest it be her next meal. Belgian Waffles, omelets migas and more make up
the menu at 350 Pine Street, on the ground floor of what’s formerly known as
the Entergy Building. My own peepers popped wide open at the transformation.
The dining area is light, bright, sunny and open. It looks like a place people
will be meeting friends.
