La Condesa ~ Just Do it!

One word....DELICIOUS! Merritt and I went to La Condesa for "date night" and we were pleasantly surprised by all of the yummy food. We started out with their great happy hour. I got a fabulous watermelon martini and crab topped corn cake (called a huarache). The drink specials are excellent and I also recommend the grilled corn, tostadas, and taquitos, you can't go wrong.

The ribs were incredible: guava-glazed pork ribs & sweet plantains and we also got the three-day mole duck dish with sesame seeds and just for fun we added the potato poblano gratin. There was not a morsel of food left! It was finger-lickin good ;)

Great ambiance, wonderful food, and quality time with the hubby.... equals one happy lady!

Allandale 4th of July Parade

Allandale came out in full force yesterday for it's annual 4th of July parade. Having a little one is unpredictable so Siena and I ended up catching the end of the parade at Gullett Elementary School. The parade was complete with classic cars, men in uniform (1800's style), and tons of kiddos on bikes and in strollers.

Gullett is the perfect place to have this gathering with a shaded playground and covered area as well. Because even at 9am it is HOT in July in Austin. So after the local band and all of the parade arrived, we sang the star spangled banner and then Kathy Tovo and the police chief spoke giving updates on city and neighborhood info.

Other nice items.....HEB donated cold bottled water, yes! The Amy's Ice cream Van was a hit as usual, the line was HUGE, we might need two vans next year. There were also breakfast tacos from TacoDeli, lots of great local food. Allandale T-shirts were available and the whole area was bustling with red, white, and blue!

Siena enjoyed her first 4th of July Parade!!

Add color to your home - Miguel Imports

~Miguel Imports~

Miguel Imports is located on Burnet Road in the Allandale/Crestview neighborhood. This place has some amazing pottery. For Mother's Day, my husband picked out some beautiful planters and vases. They have every color, shape, and size. A lot of cool Mexican style pottery lines the walls and the outdoor area goes on and on. Miguel Imports also sells herbs and some plants too!

If you're looking to stage a vacant home or add color before putting your place on the market, this is an excellent spot to shop.
