G.R.i.D. (Get Rich in Dallas)

I’ve always loved mangos but for some reason of late, they’ve found their way onto my weekly grocery list. Maybe because they’ve been fairly cheap as of late. 2 for a dollah make me hollah. Although yesterday’s trip to Kroger’s had them now at $1.99 a pound. Yikes. Back to apples it would seem.

Now the idea of Mango Margaritas pricks up my ears.

Tonight is the Mango Margarita Social at the Clay Pit which will be part of a night of Indian Fashion, Food and Music to benefit North Texas Food Bank. Drinks AND for charity? I may have to reschedule my night. It’s a free event but they are hoping people can RSVP by calling 972-233-0111.

And if you need some insight on the mango, FMPR gives us some history:

Why celebrate the mango? As Dallas’ leading Contemporary Indian restaurant,
Clay Pit appreciates the history, dignity, and juicy goodness of the mango.
Mangos originated in East India, Burma and Andaman Islands. Many Southeast
Asian kings and nobles had their own mango groves, providing nobility and
social standing; hence the custom of sending gifts of the choicest mangos.
The mango tree plays a sacred role in India where it is a symbol of love,
and some believe that the mango tree can grant wishes. In the Hindu
culture, hanging fresh mango leaves outside the front door during certain
holidays is considered a blessing to the house, and mango leaves are used at
weddings to ensure the couple bears plenty of children.

How’s that for some quick history. Maybe I’ll see ya there ’cause I might need a ride home!

Apparently Dallas got its extreme game on last week, according to Mike Orren. If I could only find my skate key to partake in the fun.

If I had known that Tyler’s KYTX-TV had such low standards for their news anchors, I would have applied there a long time ago. For some reason or another, I had in mind that maybe I needed to finish off my broadcasting degree and gain more experience or something like that Apparently not as Fox’s new reality show, Anchorwoman is being filmed at the station with Lauren Jones at the anchor desk, a model/soap actress/WWE host (hence the ambition?). Soon after watching, I immediately detailed plans to rebudget my intended tuition money toward plastic surgery and debated a sex-change operation. 

Is the Double-Wide classified as Deep Ellum or Exposition Park? That has bothered me for the longest time. I give it to Expo Park just so it can have another cool spot but it is on the Ellum side which always seemed to be bordered by that intersection. Anybody?

Whilst among the pondering, tonight’s the night to get your country on, old school style. Mosey on over to the DW for some CW…and cheap beer too.
