Dear Bluebonnets,

You’re pretttttty.

Dear Husband,

Thank you for taking me out for walks and picnics and cappuccinos and chili-cheese fries and movies and snow cones and fun. All my base are belong to you.

Dear Family,

Thanks for a wonderful weekend and yummy food and old jewelry and owl presents. You made me feel so welcome, even though I surprised you by showing up at your house out of the blue. Also, I hope you’ve finished the 84 bags of chips I brought you.

Dear God,

Thank you for wildflowers and spring breezes and nice people and courage and safe travels and cacao beans and wonderful husbands and great friends. Also, thank you for only making me have to go to the Drivers License Office once every 10 years or so.

Dear Bed,

Why are you so uncomfortable when I try to fall asleep, and so very comfortable when I try to wake up? Can we reverse this?

Hope you all are having a great week!♥

Drink.Well.

Posted on March 27th, 2012

One of our new favorite spots in town is Drink.Well. It’s a cute little bar on North Loop that serves excellent cocktails and awesome snacks. Last time we visited, I had the Dead Man’s Party (right) – a tiki-like drink made with three types of whiskey instead of rum. It’s so freakin’ delicious. The Boston Cocktail (left) was a special on St. Patrick’s Day – Justin drank that one, so I don’t remember what was in it, but I do remember it was tasty. I like that the bar also serves food – especially little salty bits to go with your drinks. The snack mix, cheese plate, chips and dip have all been yummy. We’re so proud of Jessica and Mike – congratulations on…

SXSW Inspiration

Posted on March 21st, 2012

So SXSW is over – this year it seemed to go by really quickly! We usually stay away from the crowds for most of the week, but we try to walk downtown at least once during the madness to check things out, and this year we almost missed it. It’s such a different feeling – it feels as though our city has been taken over by another. It’s crowded and everyone is excited and hopeful. I will admit that it’s not fun to try to get to your favorite spots during this time. We stayed away from our downtown office all week – microphone checks, screaming girls, traffic. The crowds also meant all downtown restaurants were off limits. We didn’t see any films this…

Beans & Eggs

beans-on-toast

Last night I had this for dinner, and now it’s my favorite thing. Toasted bread topped with white beans (olive oil, garlic, canned cannelini beans, tarragon) and an egg fried in duck fat. I think I’ll have it for lunch today, too.

Have a great weekend, everyone!♥
