This past weekend my grandmother made her famous shrimp & lobster sauce. I asked if I could post the recipe but was told only if I wanted to be disowned. But what I can share with you is another family secret...we love North Dallas Antique Mall (formerly known as Destiny's Antiques). It's the closest thing I can find to a NY flea market, only it's indoors. We have found SO many treasures (remember the set of books?). The pale green hand-painted vase below is from there as well as the set of gold fish that held a song about shrimp. But if you do go, please do not buy the ship paintings...I'm still contemplating them. Here are a few more pictures from our lunch.

Time to relax...
