My second film festival viewing was of this awesome documentary. Doris Payne is over 80 years old now, and she’s been a jewelry thief for most of her life. I was fascinated by her and completely entertained till the end.

Eating: Foreign & Domestic
We finally made it to dinner to try the new fall dishes at F&D! This kale salad was insanely good. The pumpkin soup, the short ribs, and the quail were equally delicious.

Drinking: The Tigress
Pam treated us to drinks tonight! We had a Modern #2 (Sloe Gin, Scotch, dashes of Absinthe, orange bitters and homemade Grenadine) and a Green Drink (green chartreuse and lots of green herbs). Lovely.

Watching: Philomena
Tonight was the first night of the Austin Film Festival, one of our favorite times of the year. We started with Philomena, a fantastic film based on a true story of a woman whose child was taken from her by the church when she was a teenager, and her quest to find that child fifty years later. Of course it was amazing because JUDI DENCH. She’s my fairy godmother.
