TMfood: HOUSTON. We can't get enough of Brennan's Tabasco pecan brittle, on the three-apple salad. It's sweet, hot, a little crunchy but not too.

She wore a dress made out of newspaper, got into a "sticky" situation with double-sided tape and earned a spread in the February issue of Marie Claire. Now that Kalyn Hemphill has cat-walked her way to the winner's circle on Lifetime's Models of the Runway: Season One, the model/actress/singer is moving her focus from the runway to Broadway. The triple threat started out performing local theater in her hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas and quickly progressed to larger stages in Houston. There, she took on chorus roles such as Rizzo from Grease, Cinderella, and her personal favorite, a "dancing plate" in the "Be Our Guest" scene of Beauty and the Beast."If you had asked me five years ago what my life would be like right now, I would have never guessed I would be on the path that I am on and that I would have'...

As bookstores go, the Waldenbooks at Rolling Oaks Mall in northeast San Antonio was nothing special. It wasn't lined with cozy, overstuffed leather armchairs and it wasn't filled with piped-in Frank Sinatra tunes, covered by the trendiest up-and-comers. It didn't sell movies or music or newspapers and it wasn't designed for all-day cram sessions, fueled by frappuccinos and pound cake from the adjoining coffee shop franchise. This Waldenbooks location, as with most of the stores in the chain, was designed to do one thing'sell books.The shop was a remnant of a bygone era, a small reminder of a time before big box stores like Borders and Barnes ' Noble became the interchangeable Wal-Mart and K-Mart of the bookselling industry. Then, as now, there were two primary competitors in the bookstore battle; in one corner of the ring (or shopping mall) there was Waldenbooks, in the other, B. Dalton'...

I'm looking for meaning. I need an explanation for what my life has been and I want road maps for the future so I pay attention to dreams and whatever messages come through other sources. I want it all wrapped up neatly, complete with instructions, no loose ends. I'm looking for signs from God, coincidences that have meaning, messages in tea leaves. Would someone please just tell me what to do? I need to know what to expect. Just give me some stock tips, lottery numbers, reliable career guidance. I can't waste any more time.I keep telling God that if He's sending me a message, I'm not getting it. He's going to need to kick me harder. But I wonder if I'm asking for really, really big trouble asking God to kick me harder. He packs quite a wallop.Can I consider Uncle Billy's experience as a'...

1. The Mustard Seed Antiques Route 66, which once bisected the Panhandle, is no longer a vital thoroughfare. But shoppers still travel the historic byway looking for one-of-a-kind alternatives to the generic retail giants along Interstate 40. Among the homegrown businesses is Pat Bowers Fincher's antiques boutique, which takes up six thousand square feet and just reopened after a month-long renovation. It's stockpiled with finds old (vintage wrought-iron bed frames), new (organic cotton dresses by Trinity), and handmade (lamp shades stripped down to their frames and dripping with crystals). 3323 SW Sixth Ave., 806-376-9209 2. Nest interiors Amarillo native Kasey Robinson has an interior design degree from the Art Institute of Dallas, a passion for "retail with a cause," and the most charmingly whimsical home decor and knickknack shop in town. The creative window and floor displays rival Anthropologie's, and green-minded must-haves abound, like Smock greeting cards (made'...
