This week was great. I got to hang out with a friend who I haven’t seen in a while and try out some new restaurants. Also…your girl is back in her reading bag. I am averaging about a book a week. It has been such a great way to relax from work and social media. So these are some of things I have been up to.
1. New Restaurant: Edge of the Lake Vineyard
Address: 920 Co Rd 231, Valley View, TX 76272
My friend and I visited Edge of the Lake Vineyard located right outside of Denton. My friend is very into wine and I just like the ambiance of a nice winery so we had to go after learning about this place on TikTok. A fun fact is this vineyard is black-owned so you know I had to support. As we were driving to the vineyard you could see the scenery turn from city to more rural which was my vibe since I am from the country. This place is located right beside a lake and surrounded by so much land. If you are looking for somewhere to decompress and relax then this is the place.
2. Italia Roscato Wine
I tried a new wine this week and it was perfect. I prefer sweet wines over dry wine and one of the grocery store employees mentioned this one was the most popular so I had to have it. After trying it, I can’t complain because it was delicious. The alcohol content is 7% so it’s not the highest, but it works for me. I am planning to buy it again.
3. New Read: The Davenports
I am still reading this book, but so far I am enjoying it. This book is based in post-segregation days following the lives of 4 African American girls coming of age and their lives being surrounded by the affluent. It takes you through a whirlwind of emotions as they battle between family expectations and love.
4. Restaurant Favorite: Pho One
Pho One has become one of my favorite places to get Pho. I recently tried their chicken pho and it’s so tasty. The broth for the chicken and beef pho is always well seasoned compared to the last place I got pho. This has definitely become a go-to of mines.
5. New restuarant: Postino Wine Bar
My co-worker and I visited Postino for a mid-week hang. This was my first time going to the restaurant and having a sit-down experience. Since this is a wine bar, I had to try something from their selection so I ordered a Rose. I am going to be honest it wasn’t that memorable, but all is not lost. The true star of the show was the chicken skewers. They were delicioso. They were perfectly seasoned, moist, and paired with the creamiest sauce. If you ever visit, you have to get them.
Ultimately, this week was awesome sauce. I am enjoying the time I have with friends and uncovering different interests of mine.
What have you all been up to?
