Birthday weekend
Friday started with snacks on the patio with our neighbors. Then J and I walked to Clark’s for oysters and a burger. On Saturday morning, we hopped into Aimee & Josh’s car with their cute llamas. We headed to Sweet Berry Farm near Marble Falls to pick strawberries! We got to pet the donkeys and […]

Lately
This week our Chef de Cuisine, Anthony, left us to go back to his hometown of NYC. I miss him already. Incidentally, this is what happens when you take one too many photos of a chef at work. One benefit of working in a restaurant is this: every now and then (rarely, unfortunately), there is […]

Life in photos
I got a new phone! Well, my old phone was broken, and the little power button wouldn’t work, and also it wouldn’t hold a charge for very long, and hey! I got a new phone! And it comes with this nifty 8-megapixel camera, which makes me happy. I haven’t been lugging around my dSLR lately, […]

Derby Day!
Every year, we look forward to Derby Day. We get dolled up in our finest and spend the day at a farm drinking mint juleps and cheering on random horses (whichever has the best name) and generally having a great time. This is all thanks to our wonderful friends David and Joe, who host the […]

DK Sushi
I’ve been falling in love with restaurants left and right. Justin and I had dinner at DK Sushi (north location), and I LOVED it. The outside is pretty divey. Inside it’s casual, comfy, welcoming…just a few tables and a sushi bar on one side, and grocery aisles with sushi ingredients on the other. Sushi bar […]

Ambrosia
People. Do you like veggies? Do you like cute? Do you like yum? Go to Ambrosia (facebook page here). I live mere blocks away from this place and I had never been there before… tragedy! A friend and I went for lunch this week, and I fell in love with it. Everything is vegan, raw, […]

Uchiko
So I finally took my camera with me to Uchiko for dinner. We’ve eaten at Uchi and Uchiko plenty of times, but I’ve never photographed anything. I’m not really sure why. Anyway, here’s how our evening went! I had the pan am, a cocktail made with sake, watermelon agua fresca, and granny smith apples. Justin […]
