Deja Vu

Let them eat cake

Neiman Marcus - Mermaid Bar

My favorite - a grilled cheese

While shopping in Dallas for holiday items, I spent a small fortune at Neiman Marcus - ouch!  They have started sending out rewards cards that give you free money to spend in the store on items like alterations, valet, gift wrapping, etc. so I decided to use the bulk of my gift card at The Mermaid Bar to have lunch with my man.  It's the perfect place to see and be seen, and the food is actually pretty darn good.  Some of my favorites are the grilled cheese with a side of home-made chips, and David loves the chicken salad sandwich with tortilla soup, and I can't forget a slice of decadent cake.  Just like the cab rides in New York with their repetitive tv commercials, I found myself back in the store eating the same food and using the same gift card (but of course in a different outfit).  This last time, I found a pair of shoes that will be going home with me for Christmas so I'm starting to worry that this kind of Sunday leisurely lunching is starting to break the bank!
