Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m way behind the times. Phil’s Icehouse caused quite a stir when it came on the Burnet Road scene (at the very beginning of a Burnet Road scene even existing) because of its mini burgers, funky decor, shared space with Amy’s Ice Creams, and playscape out front. Today I shared lunch there…

Two To Try: Silhouette Sushi and Tacodeli
Tried two new restaurants last night and for lunch today, and both were stellar! Silhouette Sushi: a hidden gem, “cheap eats ’08” by citysearch.com Chances are you’ve walked past Silhouette and not noticed it, or you’ve seen it and never known what it was.

The Cleanse
I am not one for fad diets or Master Cleansing–drinking only lemonade for 10 days?! You must be joking. But among other things I never thought I’d be into, I’m going to an awesome acupuncturist (merrittacupuncture.com) and she suggested a Cleanse. By Standard Products, this Cleanse isn’t as restricting as others, so I thought I…
