gourdough's

Last weekend's trip to Austin yielded some excellent eateries. One of which was Gourdough's, famously known for their exotic donuts.

The tag line says it all.

The menu provides both savory and sweet donuts.

I tried the Flying Pig (bacon with maple syrup icing) and the Porkey (Canadian bacon, cream cheese and jalepeño jelly).

One last picture of the afternoon indulgence.

flip happy crepes

Yesterday I took a road trip to Austin and went to Flip Happy Crepes where I found delicious hand-made savory and sweet crepes being served out of an Airstream trailer.

A blue tarp stretched between trees provided shade for scores of people at picnic tables playing board games and enjoying the goodness of Flip Happy Crepes.

A line was forming by the chalkboard menu.

After placing your order you could grab a beverage out of the ice box.

I tried the Moroccan Chicken Crepe and the Three Cheese Crepe and wished they had a Flip Happy closer to where I lived.

bootleg cake

A few friends had been getting together on a weekly basis to watch the Band of Brothers mini series directed by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks depicting the story of Easy Company, the 101st Airborne Division in the army during World War II. To commemorate episode seven: The Battle of Bastogne, I baked a cake depicting one of the bloodiest scenes in the entire series. The cake was vanilla flavored with raspberry sauce for the filling. Ummm . . . tasty!
