Red River Lodging

Last year, on our back porch at Cooper King Lodge.

This is not a paid advertisement.

This is not even a compensated advertisement.

I'm doing it because we love where we stay.

Yesterday's post about Red River and the food made me think about where we lodge.

It's called Cooper King Lodge.

It's on the river.

At the end of the street.

The staff is fantastic! I'm not even kidding!

Clay and Michelle are the owners, and they are great!

The cleaning staff is friendly and efficient!

Our two favorite units to stay in are #11 or #14.

That's just our preference!

Here's some things we like about Cooper King:

Clean, clean, clean.
Self-contained units: linens, all-but-the-food in the kitchen, t.v., etc.
Non-smoking rooms and no pets. As in, the entire lodge.
Hot tub.
BBQ grills available.
Walk to everything in town.

Red River is cool! Literally! It's July 5 and I just looked at the current weather at 9:30 in the morning, and it's 50 degrees!

50 degrees!!!

Why do you want to stay in the Summer heat when you can go there . . .

. . .and stay here! At Cooper King Lodge!

Here's the link to their website. You can look at photos, check out the rates, and make a reservation!

The deer just roam in and out of town . . . this deer was by
our back porch last year. My cherubs followed it all around
the lodge taking pictures and trying to pet it.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken; cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
