The good thing about just coming back from a packed weekend is that I have photos to blog without really haven’t to use my spent brain. Today, I bring you photos from a high school reunion I had last weekend in Houston. I saw Hillary and Alex for the first time in a while. We’re [...]
1115 E 11th St Austin, TX 78702 (512) 542-9542 http://www.bluedahliabistro.com/ I love the holidays because it tends to bring old faraway friends back home.

I usually have a very broad wish when I blow out candles but this time, I specifically wished for something. My actual birthday is Tuesday (Brandi just likes to [...]
While visiting Houston last weekend, Kim and I had the pleasure of trying out Feast. We were on our way to have our first experience of real grasshoppers at Hugo’s but unfortunately, it was around 7:30 and the next available reservation was 8:45.
