This Friday brings us to a boiling heat as we fast approach temps well over 100 degrees in the Dallas area. It is time to stoke those backyard fires and go silly with your favorite veggies or meat, and soak up some of those intense rays while enjoying your pool, even if it is the child-like blow up style.
You might want to hit the streets later and hunt and gather a good meal, and we have a few fun suggestions to take you into the weekend as we present our Friday’s Five Fabulous Food Finds for this week.
