Live Music Capital of the World, Hello Austin!

Great food and live music were alive and well in Austin last weekend. It was a spur of the moment trip that will go down in the record books! The day's festivities included exploring in a trendy area on Congress st. featuring unique stores, open market and even one of my new favorites....food trucks! Really, every city should have more food trucks (do I see a potential 2nd career in my future?)

Hey Cupcake! foodtruck

The rest of the foodtruck fleet.

 We also ate at a Frank Hotdogs and Cold Beer. Mom and Dad you guys would have loved this place! Anna and I being from NC had to go with "the Carolina pork it"; a hotdog wrapped in bacon and deep-fried with fresh slaw and pimento cheese, wrapped in a corn pancake style bun. Need I say more?

We finished the night with a late dinner at the Roaring Fork and then hit 6th street for some live music and bar hopping. A longer trip to Austin is already in the works!

Houston Farmers Market

The roomies and I took at trip to the Houston farmers market this past weekend. Here is what we came away with: home made chocolate with bourbon, almonds, and caramel, green tomatoes (so I can bring a little South Carolina to Texas), pickled okra, and some fresh Mediterranean goat cheese. I would say we will be eating well this coming week!
