So for those of you thinking this would be a blog about tequila, alas, you would be wrong. This is a post about a place in Chelsea called Tequila Chito’s. It’s a dive of a Mexican place that is, honestly, my go-to when it comes to going out. And the person I usually go to … Continue reading Yo Quiero Tequila!
I know that I have already written a post on Stout extolling the virtues of its sauce, but since it’s Jonas’s birthday today–I feel like reminiscing about the first time we went to Stout. As previously mentioned, Stout is the place where the Texas Exes meet. This means that on game day it’s a bit…well…crazy. A sea … Continue reading The National Beer of Texas!
Java. Joe. Espresso. Brewed. Latte. Cappuccino. Mocha. Drip. French press. Melitta. Black. Breve. Cream. Sugar. Light & Sweet. No matter how you serve it, coffee is definitely something I could NOT dream of living without. With reckless abandon, I ignore any medical advice telling me to cut back. I tried that once, with disastrous results … Continue reading Serefe, Coffee!
Dearest Mal, as requested a (hopefully) funny Australia story–Happy Birthday!! Show of hands of how many people NOT from Australia who like Vegemite? Or have even tried Vegemite? Or even heard of Vegemite in a setting other than a Men At Work song? Vegemite is a yeast extract paste that exceptionally high in B-vitamins. Here’s what Vegemite … Continue reading A Toast to Vegemite!
Continuing on my birthday week adventures, today’s post is in honor of Wendy’s birthday. Wendy lived (until she got crazy and moved to Chicago) in Galveston three blocks from the beach. For all you out there living under a rock or (gasp!) are unfamiliar with geography of The Great State of Texas, Galveston is an … Continue reading The Ruff Life of a Beach Dog
According to my BFF, the only reason we are friends is because of our mutual love for Guinness. Of course, the first time she brought this up I tried to vehemently argue with her…until about 2.5 seconds into the argument when I realized that she was completely right. Since then, we have shared a love … Continue reading Come to The Dark Side, We Have Guinness
Tucked away in the basement of Vaudeville is their bistro. Originally when I began writing this post (about 3 seconds after I tasted my cappuccino), it was going to be about this treasure I had found with, quite simply, THE best cappuccino I have indulged in west of the Atlantic and east of the Pacific. … Continue reading Bad Service Trumps Good Food Every Time
Anyone who’s actually made pie, knows that it’s not easy. Unless, of course, your idea of making pie includes buying it from the store, in which case, let me recommend: The Fredericksburg Pie Co. First of all, they have an amazing selection…providing you get there before about 3pm. If not, your selection will be dramatically … Continue reading Easy as Pie
My favorite morning while I was at home started the night before with my nieces coming home with Momma and me. Unfortunately for Momma, she had to go to work the next morning, but it allowed me some quality time with the girls. Being the fabulous Auntie that I am, I let them sleep in … Continue reading Cooking with the Kidlets
Before I show you the delicious, amazingness that was my bacon, avocado blue cheeseburger (yeah, it was…wow…just simply wow), I have a little story to tell you about the last time I was home. About 16 miles from Fredericksburg is a slightly-hard-to-find-but-oh-so-worth-it restaurant called Alamo Springs Cafe. Their burgers and onion rings are quite simply … Continue reading STOP! Burger Time!
