Goin’ Down To Texas

September 1, 2010

So, today I’m flying to Austin, Texas!

I’m super excited because I’ve while never been to Austin before, I’ve always had this strange obsession with the state of Texas as a whole. Maybe it’s because my dad is from there…or because my grandpa got kicked out of A&M for punching a guy in the nose in the forties–I just don’t know.

Actually, it’s probably just because I love sweet tea and pulled pork with my heart and soul. Yep, that’s it.

Hi dad! I heart you.

Anyways, the reason I’m going is pure vacation! Almanzo is from there and we are visiting his family, his college and his old stomping grounds. If you see me looking awkward and sweating profusely in an Aggie shirt at the game on Saturday, please say a friendly hello.

Oh, and tonight I’m hosting my first blog event at a popular bar downtown. I couldn’t believe when so many people actually said they really wanted to come!!! We are going to drink cocktails, eat tacos and talk about life as we know it. I’m psyched and naturally used that excuse to buy a new Anthropologie dress. Priorities, people…priorities.

Almanzo has (semi) agreed to be official camera man for the event so I’ll be back with fun photos of my first night in the Lonestar State—stay tuned!

Mmmmm barbecue. We will meet again in Texas. I will find you!!!

My Ode To Dessert

August 30, 2010

Because I’ve been so keen on fixing up my recipe section lately and posted my Top Five favorite meals of all time last week, I thought this afternoon I’d post my Top Five desserts. It’s obviously no secret that I love dessert. I mean, I went to pastry school and once, worked as a pastry [...]

Bye, Bye Summer

August 30, 2010

Can you even believe that we are approaching Labor Day weekend?!?! Like, where did summer go? Where did 2010 go? Where did my youth go? I’m almost twenty five and a half for crying out loud. It’s a good thing I’m so mature and all. Anyways, I wanted to sort of “recap the summer” in [...]
