Yes, I am a chocoholic! I LOVE chocolate! My daughter knows me well, she greeted me on my birthday walking in the door with a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles! It came from Hey Cupcake! and it was delicious, I highly recommend it!

We had a lovely dinner at my friend’s house on Christmas Eve, to celebrate Christmas, and to celebrate her birthday. We had these amazing steaks that my husband helped prepare (I helped some…but someone had to take pictures! )

I finally went to Walton’s Fancy & Staple here in Austin, Tx. I had a cup of coffee and tried their Honey Bee Cake. It was delicious! Cool place too!

While I was hanging out with my daughter at her work the other day I took a photo of their Fruit Tart. Doesn’t it look delicious?

My friend Kay Hughes had the reception for her encaustic “Black & White and Vintage Cars Art Exhibit” yesterday at Fair Bean Coffee on S. 1st St..

Here’s a couple of photos from the reception.

My friend Kathi and I decided to try the Quattro Gatti Ristorante tonight. It’s located on 908 Congress Ave, Austin, which happens to be the space we had an art show a couple of years ago. We enjoyed it very much! Everyone was super nice and friendly, and our Montanara Pizza was wonderful. We had a glass of wine with it and Tiramisu for dessert. We had a wonderful time. Here are a few photos of the place.

My tomato finally turned red!!! It’s huge! We are very impressed that this grew in a pot on our patio!!
Finally!
We went to Central Market today for the Opening Ceremony for the “Passport Argentina” event. Very cool! I am so excited they have alfajores! (Yummmm) They had some music, wine and food from Argentina. They will be doing this through Sunday May 23rd. Here’s a couple of photos from tonight.

We tried out Red’s Porch on South Lamar tonight and we liked it! The view is great, the Margaritas were pretty good (I personally tried them ), and the food was pretty good. We tried the Fried Stuffed Olives, which were pretty darn good! Stuffed with Bleu Cheese & Beer Battered. Yum! This was the view from there.
