Food Adventures

While my sister Emily is living in Africa and literally slaughtering and feathering chickens for dinner (graphic but true), I am having my own food "adventure" here in Austin. No doubt less laborous, and presumebly less humbling an experience, Zac and I are finding some pretty tasty local bites. Simple comfort food was our choice last night (and, no suprise, I added a dessert stop on the way home):

Latest great find - Max's Wine Dive (www.maxswinedive.com/austin), said to be a "Hot 10" Wine Bar in the U.S. by Bon Appetit Magazine. Our choice last night: a burger piled high with brie, pickeled peppers and the biggest slice of tomato you can imagine, paired with a glass of Poema Cava bubbly (for me) and a Stella (for Zac). Local to Texas.

Another favorite find - The Yogurt Spot (http://www.theyogurtspotusa.com/), a do-it-yourself, pay-by-the-ounce place. I love their unique flavors (like green tea) and toppings (like grapefruit pieces). My fave: 1% fat burrr-berry (blueberry) yogurt with fresh strawberry topping. Best of all, you can taste every flavor for free! Local to Texas.
