I typically choose the chicken salad sandwhich on yummy pretzel bread, served with a side of my favorite pickled beets. Yes, you read that right, pickled beets are my favorite!

I never leave this place without a slice of homemade cake. This particular day we could choose from red velvet, chocolate or lemon rosemary. I went for the unusual and I’m so glad I did–it was amazing!

what i found in muenster, TX

From the golf course to the antique malls and around town, Muenster is a real adventure! One of my favorite things to witness is the little clock at the top of Fischer’s Market grocery that plays music and rotates a little mechanical German scene every hour.

    That’s one place I would love to go. I saw a few things that caught my eye. The main one was that typewriter. Was that only $5? It may be wishful thinking but I really liked it.

  2. Thank you for recognizing my home town! Not only is the town beautiful and enchanting, there are wonderful people who live here, too! Glad you enjoyed your visits to Muenster, Texas! Next time you stop in, have someone direct you to the vineyards on the bluffs of Red River that are north of Muenster. Please come again any time!
