Yes, I was enjoying the food. Perhaps a little too much? Yesterday I felt debil –meaning I was bedridden with a debilitating tiredness, stemming probably from dehydration (a factor of the nine hours spent on a bus Sunday … didn’t want to have to pee!). I slept most of yesterday, thought the worst was over, but…

Food and Fashion in Ecuador
I met someone right before I left who said, “Oh, the food in Ecuador is wonderful!” Now, people say that about Spain and I wholeheartedly disagree (I don´t like jamon, so I´m sort of screwed), but here the food is pretty delicious. Right now we´re on the coast, so we´re chowing down on super fresh,…

Update to Restaurant Week
The other restaurant week, not the one that just ended. So confusing, I know, we had no restaurant week and now we have two?! For the “official” Austin Restaurant Week, over 50 restaurants will provide $25 and $35 three-course prix fixe menus to diners for eight nights. A list of participating restaurants will be released…
Report: Nike Human Race Training Run
So last night I finally made it to Guero’s for the Nike Human Race training run! It was packed in the Guero’s annex, and the line was long to register. They say the run starts at 7:00, but we didn’t get going til 7:15 or so. I should preface the story I’m about to tell…
Tuesdays? + a full Wednesday
Last Tuesday, I ran into a friend and frequent reader of this blog at Bikram Yoga Davenport (love it!) and she asked what was going on that night. “A Tuesday night? I don’t know, I’m at yoga!” Aside from Bikram Yoga classes and the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s (can’t wait to check that…
I <3 Sabia
There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
Vintage Mecca
I read in Melanie Spencer’s statesman.com blog today that La Luz Home and Fashion and Prototype Vintage are planning to merge into one vintage mega-store. The two will combine at Prototype’s South Congress Avenue location in August, with both stores offering sales all this month. Don’t forget that tomorrow is First Thursday, so if you’re out for the…
Coffeeshop: Dominican Joe’s
So I checked out another new coffeeshop this week: Dominican Joe’s. It sprouted up on South Congress and Riverside about a year or two ago, and I hadn’t been yet, so when I was looking for a new coffeeshop to try and their website promised me empanadas, I was sold. Unfortunately, the empanadas were beyond…
Sittin’ in Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse
Driving over here, I realized why people love Starbucks so much. I was nervous. Nervous to go to a freakin’ coffeeshop! But I didn’t want to look like the newbie. Regulars are nestled into their fave tables with their laptops and “the usual,” and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. I…
