I mean, if you make bread pudding and keep it warm and put some ice cream on top, I think anyone will like it unless they're retarded.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Those are my thoughts. If you want Cajun, definitely go check this place out because I'm not sure where else to go in Austin! I've heard of the opening of Shuck Shack on E. Cesar Chavez, but have yet to hear much else about it! I'm excited to try it out when I get back from maple leaf land.<br /><br />x,<br /><br />Franny<br /></div></div>franceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16362469290383711614noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364880351423083391.post-54202101374024089082009-08-11T20:36:00.000-07:002009-08-11T20:40:30.456-07:00Boots, Studs, and Denim on the EtsyMore updates to the Etsy: <a href="http://charlievintage.etsy.com/">charlievintage.etsy.com</a>. <br>Does anyone want to help be my model or help me take pictures?

Turns out Jon, the owner, is Karinne's friend and he treated us to some pleasingly fresh dishes. I forget how good fresh fruit and veggies are. Why?!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/3803138410_67e6a188dc_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/3803138410_67e6a188dc_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Karinne ordered this Pear, Walnut, and Blue Cheese salad ... I had a few nibbles and wow. First of all, all the salad is definitely a bang for your buck. Second of all, the pairing of all the flavors topped with balsalmic vinaigrette (probably my favorite salad dressing) was awesome. I don't think of salads as healthy options. I think of them as real deal meals cuz they are darn good!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3803138348_405fd489fa_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3803138348_405fd489fa_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I ordered the Tuna Tataki with Avocado, Cucumber, and Seaweed Salad. Wow! Do you see that red sliver of sauce? Yeah, that's right ... it's Sriracha. And as all humans should know, Sriracha is an ingredient that should be integrated into everyone's diet. Why? Because it makes everything taste that much better, seriously. But anyway, the seaweed salad was just right. The cucumbers added a nice crunch to the softness of the fresh tuna. And the avocado was a nice textural balance as well ... kind of like sushi without the rice and seaweed paper ... and much bigger. Ha.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3802322839_4919b0c600_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/3802322839_4919b0c600_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />And finally, a non grape sangria! It's watermelon grapefruit sangria! Yeah, dude. This is gold. I think they make different fresh fruit juices/sangrias/concoctions every now and then ... and I'm not sure if they are on the menu or if they are free or if they are just ... secret? But yeah, definitely ask and see if they have this when you go!<br /><br />Anyway, We Fuse is open generally for lunch. He said it gets packed in there, so I'd go early and snag a seat as the place isn't that big. It's located downtown at 2nd and Brazos. Get it.<br /><br />--<br /><br />PLEASE listen to this. It's amazing.

I guess that's why people love and hate these cameras, because you never know how the picture will turn out. I especially like the one of my wet hair and the one of my cat. It looks like his head is coming out of his mouth.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3575/3691536468_cf3baa59bd_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3575/3691536468_cf3baa59bd_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/3690728753_7e17dbf64c_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/3690728753_7e17dbf64c_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3662271696_78735dd7a9_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3662271696_78735dd7a9_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/3690728797_7cb960c18b_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/3690728797_7cb960c18b_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2482/3691536350_cd8cb17669_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2482/3691536350_cd8cb17669_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3690728571_beed2549cc_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3690728571_beed2549cc_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3416/3661471759_a68253337c_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 788px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3416/3661471759_a68253337c_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />x,<br /><br />frannyfranceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16362469290383711614noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364880351423083391.post-88867173007687730222009-06-28T20:32:00.000-07:002009-06-28T20:46:05.755-07:00Blast from the Past: Hairbows<br></br><br />I found some amazing hairbows this weekend that I'm sticking in my <a href="http://charlievintage.etsy.com/">etsy</a> store I just started, named after my kitty.

I pretty much found all the restaurants we planned to eat at through Yelp, which is based in San Francisco. I think working for Yelp would be an ideal job for me ... hm ...

But to be honest, what swept me off my feet was the biscuit! It was so fluffy/flaky/buttery/crumblinginyourfingers/meltinginyourmouth ... perfection of a biscuit. We were very pleased. :)<br /><br />We decided to be touristy and go to Fisherman's Wharf ... which was actually kind of fun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2468/3652418735_93481b3a56_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2468/3652418735_93481b3a56_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Anyone who knows me well knows I have a fascination with pigeons/seagulls/dead birds.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2439/3652418709_8ce685f32e_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2439/3652418709_8ce685f32e_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Mmm, fresh calamari.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3357/3652418845_7208af3221_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3357/3652418845_7208af3221_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Sea lions.

Someone described them as having the best migas in town ... and I had to go see for myself. Besides that, they have super super super super cheap breakfast tacos. I mean $.85 a taco. And they get them out fast.<br /><br />So alas, my migas...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3630677116_cd6c8de19d_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 600px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3630677116_cd6c8de19d_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3630677156_d9fff87fbd_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 600px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3630677156_d9fff87fbd_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I call them Recession Migas because they came with 3 tortillas, and after making 3 migas tacos out of that, my plate still looked like the above pictures. I barely made a dent and I was stuffed. At first they weren't my favorite because they were a little soupy ... and I like my migas drier. I also prefer black beans to refried beans ... but those were still good. And the potatoes were nice and peppery. But after eating them as leftovers, I decided they tasted a lot better than I remembered ... not that they ever tasted bad. Maybe I was just hungrier? Or maybe it was just too hot outside? Or maybe I was just too shocked by the gargantuous amount of migas handed to me the first time around. Anyway, they are recommended. Still not my favorite ... but a great cheap filling brunch for sure.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/3630677188_2df736a5f3_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 600px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/3630677188_2df736a5f3_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">To make the experience sweeter, this guy came up and gave Kathryn a cupcake ... thanking her for her beauty, hahaha.

I snapped a few pictures along the way ... nothing too special. I wish I could have gotten closer to those windmills... and I really wanted a badass picture of a cactus, but every time I saw a good one we drove by it too fast and it was gone. Sigh! I read today in Elle magazine on the plane about families who live in "food deserts" ... and that is exactly what the roadtrip was. Low income families ... such as those who live in these ghost towns along I-10 ... can't afford to buy healthier food ... especially since there really is nothing else there besides KFC and Taco Bell. What is one to do!? Plant your own garden in the desert?<br /><br />In regard to locally produced food, I got some yummy pesto at the farmers market in LA ... it's called Goober Pesto and it's good and spicy. I made spicy chicken pesto pasta tonight and it was so yum. Much better than KFC. And if anyone knows, I hate Taco Bell. Taco Bueno is more bueno, duh.<br /><br />Anyway, first day of my internship with the Statesman tomorrow!
