My now-husband and I used to go to a Houston's in Addison, Texas, back in the late 90's/early 2000's. It had the most wonderful dark wood bar area with cozy candlelit booths surrounding it, where you could sit for hours and drink wine, scotch, and martinis and smoke cigarettes. The service was superb. It sadly closed within the last decade, but I was just telling my husband the other night that I have yet to have a salmon that was as delicious as the one they served at that location. They also had the most delicious salads! I believe there is still a Hillstone's in Highland Park, but it lacks the soul of the Addison location. That one was perfect.

So, this has absolutely nothing to do with this particular newsletter but I thought you would enjoy seeing how much someone is selling their copy of Lemons by You on Amazon for!

If you recall, around Thanksgiving last year I reached out in the comments here and asked if anyone was willing to sell me their copy as I love collecting things like this. I haven’t been able to find a copy for a “reasonable” price but I actually found the Short Stack cookbook which included some of your Lemons recipes! So that was exciting! Anyway, here’s the link to how much a single copy of Lemons is going for now. It’s in Canadian dollars but you get the idea!
