  • Trailer Thursday: Cutie Pie Wagon
    There are very few things that could drag most people out of bed at 2:30 a.m. But thankfully, you don’t have to wake up in the wee hours, as Jaynie Buckingham does, to enjoy the benefits of her baking. And, oh, are there benefits. For sweet fiends such as myself, Jaynie’s Cutie Pie Wagon is [...]
  • Texas Wine: The Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail
    A few months ago, we presented an overview of the Hill Country Wine Trail. This month, we turn our attention to the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail. Though you won’t find any bluebonnets this time of year, you will find some beautiful pastoral scenery, some great Texas wines, and a number of fun little stops along the [...]
  • Squeaky Cheese
    We all have those little things that get to us. Nails on a chalkboard, a dentist’s drill—you know the sound that makes it feel as if someone is forcing, oh, somewhere along the lines of 241 small daggers into your temples and twisting them to and fro, just for fun. And I’m willing to bet [...]
  • Trailer Thursday: Chi’Lantro
    Relax, y’all. Sure, there are more Californians stampeding to Texas than surfing the waves off their own coast these days, but there’s an upside, at least for Austinites. Not only are the people of the Golden State migrating this way, so is the latest golden trend: Korean-Mexican fusion. Take Chi’Lantro, Austin’s answer to LA. A [...]
  • Our Boy Bryan Makes It To “Next Iron Chef”
    It was announced yesterday that Bryan Caswell, chef and co-owner of Reef, Stella Sola, and Little Bigs in Houston, has been named a contestant on the next season of Next Iron Chef, the Food Network show. We actually found this out this back before July, when we featured Caswell and several of his seafood recipes, [...]
  • Trailer Thursday: Good Pop
    It’s still hot. And by hot, I mean a scorching 104 degrees. And we’ve got at least another month or two to go. So I thought I’d share with you my favorite recipe for keeping cool in Austin. Just this summer, I finally discovered the secret ingredient: Good Pop, a new mom-and-pop (har, har) paletas [...]
  • Texas Wine of the Month: Spicewood Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, 2008
    In recent years, it seems the typical request for the house Chardonnay has been overshadowed by the spritzy and clean Pinot Grigio and the sometimes-citrusy, sometimes-grassy Sauvignon Blanc. It’s no real surprise with the overpowering buttery qualities a number of low- to mid-range Chardonnays have taken on; often as a result of too much time [...]
  • It’s a Potluck?
    A few weeks ago, an invitation arrived in the mail to a family reunion for my fiance’s side of the family. The invitation was promptly misplaced, only to be dug up again mere moments before we needed to leave for said reunion. I mean, that happens to the best of us, but mostly, it happens [...]
  • Texas Beverages: Deep Eddy Vodka
    Up until now, we’ve had a relatively mild summer. At least by Texas standards. Decent rains. Temperatures hovering in the 90s. And with the exception of a few flash floods, no major weather disasters. But it’s August now, and the dog days of summer are rearing their snarly heads at us. (You didn’t think we’d [...]
  • Trailer Thursday: Austin Daily Press
    How do you improve on a killer grilled pastrami with cheddar and horseradish mayo? Or a gyro sandwich with Israeli salad and Tabasco tzatziki? Austin Daily Press knows how. Wrap the sammy in The Onion newsprint and sell it at a bargain to late-night downtown revelers. Oh, and add a catchy little motto to the side [...]
