Apple
My
grandmother always made a sandwich with a lettuce leaf topper, instead of the
second slice of bread. Less filling, she’d say.
Sometimes
I go with no bread, making apple slices the top and bottom with something like
ham and Dijon mustard as the insides. For breakfast, try a peanut butter and
apple sandwich.
The
deal is, the apple actually makes for a very filling snack or meal.
Shamrock
Hotel memories
I
was just reading about “The After Party,” Anton Disclafani’s novel set in 1950s
Houston, when I saw it on a shelf at the Port Arthur Public Library. I read it
in a weekend. I love that Google has afforded me the opportunity to have images
of the Shamrock Hotel’s enormous lyre-shaped pool and other images of vintage
River Oaks pop up. The story and setting are compelling, and I can now picture
the girls’ monthly rare steak dinner at The Petrolium Club, cocktails at the
Cork Club, luncheon at Sonny Look’s steak house and picking up groceries at
Jamail’s on the maid’s day off. Funny, that with all the fashion, furnishings
and emotions of this book, I’m recalling all the food references.
Igloo
Road
Ever
drive past 777 Igloo Road in Katy? There’s a giant Igloo Playmate at the welcome
gate. It’s an office/gateway, of sorts, to guide you to the company store,
which is packed with lunch bags, coolers and drink holders. If you didn’t know
about this little place, it’s a fun adventure. Visit Igloocoolers.com for more
information.
