In Austin and Eating up a Storm

Austin is amazing, I'm so proud to be from such a cool city.

Here are some of my recent food adventures in Austin:

Franklin BBQ (new food stand)

pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork!!!! :D

Really, really good! I loved the sauces, three types... all really different. One was spicy, one vinegary and the other thick and sweet with espresso!

Good quality meats. The pulled pork was delicious and the brisket was juicy without being too fatty. Oh, and we had the lemon buttermilk pie... more lemon than buttermilk. Loved it.

Whip-In

Pulled pork Naan panini with feta

really good, though I would have liked the pork to have more body..

It was a bit mushed with the bbq sauce

Asti

Creme Brulee with macerated cherries.

Good, though I wasn't crazy about the cherries,

would have like them better had they been fresh.

Pizza with summer squash, ricotta and pesto! :D

Light as far as pizza goes. Really loved it.

My salmon with roasted cauliflower,

really good except for the olive tapenade

(I don't like olives...so that makes sense)

More adventures to come!

Bear With Me

I'm going home to Austin in a couple days. So happy. I'm tired and I need a break, school drains me. Hopefully I'll get some great pictures while in Texas...One thing it does not lack is intriguing photo opportunities. I'll be cooking for the family as well, so maybe some sexy food pics? I don't know...I hardly ever make pretty food though. However, I LOVE the holiday season and I'll be savoring ever moment!

Bear with me, these images are random...just like me and my life. So I guess you could say they all represent who I am in some shape or form. Enjoy! Happy Holidays!
