House Coffee Bar. Welcome.

The purpose of this post is to add to the other announcements being made about the new coffee bar in downtown Fort Worth , House Coffee Bar. I have been now twice and have Jake to thank for bringing it to my attention via Twitter.

House Coffee Bar is in one part of a beautifully renovated building that also houses a recording studio and a Church. You'll have to ask them how it's all connected. The coffee is good, the people are very hospitable, and the coffee shop itself is comfortable, inviting, and a showpiece in downtown renovation.

The House website, takes you to their Facebook page, linked here. From their Facebook page:
The idea of a coffee bar is simple, people drink coffee, so we should make some! What's with the name? We call it 'The House' because we want it to be just that, your house! We want you to feel at home, welcomed and relaxed as you enjoy great music and great coffee.

Steak-Out



I was asked to pass on this Valentine Day's offer from Steak-Out, the new steak-dinner delivery company on West Berry. I have not tried it, but I have to say, I like the idea. From their website:
Since the first day we fired up our grill, we've always held our food to the highest standards possible. That's why it's always prepared fresh daily. And why it's always fire-grilled with our special seasonings just the way you like it.
Sometimes the last thing you want to do after a long day is cook. So why do it? Give Steak-Out a call instead and we'll fire up whatever you and your family have a hankering for. You can just sit back and relax while we deliver a hot, complete meal right to your door.
I wish any new business well, especially one that's giving Fort Worth more food choices. Let us know if you have tried it, I will be soon.

More Dieting Wisdom.

My typical weight loss cycle:
  1. Stand on scales, look in the mirror, or notice waist buttons popping.
  2. Decide to lose some weight.
  3. Start eating correctly, start exercise regimen.
  4. Continue for a whole two days.
  5. Weigh myself, again.
  6. Get mad that I have gained weight.
  7. Say, the hell with it.
  8. Have a bowl of ice cream with granola sprinkles.
