I have been following the story of the "Merc" since the inception. I love how they took their time
and did everything with lots of love and respect for the old building. They also have purchased the building across the street, another oldie with history. This second building will be use as a warehouse for the Merc. They bought all used shelving which came in in several colors. She has really good stories about the buildings in her "Confessions" link. I rarely make any of her recipes, but the ones I have made are always good. I have to admire Ree who admits to being a vegetarian when she married and had to change her way of cooking and eating, No way was she going to change the cowboys, they need the calories....her husband and children have no weight issues. Her girls are rail thin. She has made a gold mine out of her life!
