Although this post does not include a recipe, I hope that it inspires you to take a little trip south of the Red River to Austin, Texas and see what it has to offer!
The purpose of the trip was for Annie to run in a half-marathon: GO ANNIE!!! But it also included some wonderful culinary delights. Some of these places we went, we have been before because they were THAT GOOD. Last time Annie and I went to Austin was for a job fair in the Spring of 2008... which needless to say.. those jobs did not work out, but when we were there we discovered some delicious treats!
1st off: Guero's Taco Bar. Now, this place has been around forever and for good reason. They have amazing tacos, 3 different types of salsa, and refreshing margaritas. If I had to pic my favorite part of the meal, it would have to be the black beans... AMAZING.
2nd: Amy's Ice Creams. There are many locations of this place around town, but the one we visited was on South Congress. Soooo good. It's kind of a coldstone-ish type place where they do the mix-ins. I had dark chocolate with junior mints, and Annie's was unbelievable with Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream, hot fudge, and prailine sauce. WOW.
Finally: We ended our trip with an outing to Whole Foods. We were here for quite awhile.. So many things to look at!!! Some of the things we ended up with was hand ground almond butter, bulk spices, lentils and pecarino-romano cheese. We could have done more damage, but due to the lack of refrigeration on our 6 hour car ride, we decided against it. When will OKC get one of these!!!??!!
Overall, it was a great trip! Shout out to Hannah King for letting us crash at her house!
