Torchy’s Tacos speaks for itself. Delicious! Any location, any time. If you live in Austin and you haven’t eaten at Torchy’s, shame on you. You’re missin out.
My staple, the Green Chile Pork Taco.
Slow roasted pork carnitas simmered with green chiles and topped with queso fresco, cilantro, onions(- the onions on mine) and a wedge of lime. Served with tasty tomatillo sauce.
Coming in at a VERY close second, the Fried Avocado Taco.
Hand-battered fresh avocados fried and served with vegetarian refried beans, topped with pico, lettuce and cheese. Served with poblano sauce.
Their tag line is SO right. Their tacos are always…

What’s that? Snow in Austin! Um yeah! I know the weatherman had said all week that we would get snow on Friday but it was one of those “Oh I’ll believe it, when I see it” kind of things. Well I see it and I believe it! I’m so excited!! Earlier this week I was feeling a little homesick/jealous of all the people in Fort Worth getting to enjoy the snow and have time off work but now…I’m in their boat. Snow on the ground and work delayed for at least a few hours. Time to post up on the couch with some hot chocolate and a good movie.
About froze my finger off writing in the snow….
Happy Snow Day ATX!!
Mmmm homemade bruschetta. Please note, I have no true recipe…I just kind of throw things together so flavor to taste 🙂
You will need:
Tomatoes
Fresh Chopped Basil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil(EVOO)
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Salt
Crostnins
Mozzarella Cheese(Shredded or Shaved)
To get things going you’ll need to wash and dice the tomatoes. Then add the tomatoes to a bowl with EVOO, S & P and basil. Stir and flavor to taste(I like a lot of EVOO). Then cover and place the mixture in the fridge to chill. While the tomatoes are marinating, it’s time to take care of the crostinis.
Preheat the broiler to whatever setting you are most comfortable using. Place the crostinis on a baking sheet and lightly brush each with EVOO. Then sprinkle with garlic salt and a little shredded mozzarella. Place the baking sheet on the top rack and wait ummm a couple of minutes? I don’t know exactly how long, I just watch them. Once the edges turn brown and the cheese is bubbling they are ready to go. Remove the crostinis and place them on a plate to cool. When the crostinis are back to room temperature you can bust out the tomatoes!!
Simply spoon the tomato mixture on top of the crostinis, drizzle with a little EVOO, top with mozzarella and voilà! You’re now a World Class Chef! Ok, maybe not World Class but you definitely feel fancy, huh?
So on a recent SoCo adventure I came across an unusual sight. I found this guy chillin in a front yard just down the street. His name is Nik. He is 5 years old and likes to eat bamboo and french fries. You might be asking yourself…how does she know his name? did she make that up? The answer, there is a sign hanging on the fence. Guess they got tired of people asking. Either way, that can’t be legal. They must have a permit or something. Only in Austin…
One Sunday after church my friend said he had something to show me. Little did I know I would soon be crossing the 360 Bridge and climbing up the side of a cliff in a dress and flats! Although ill prepared, I made it to the top without a scratch. The short climb was totally worth it. The view was incredible! The cliff was overlooking the 360 Bridge with Lake Austin leading the view up to the skyline in the distance. Took my breath away.
* The 360 Bridge is also known as the Pennybacker Bridge.
* Constructed from late 1979 – July 1982
* Opened for traffic on December 3, 1982
* Made with 600,000,000 pounds of steel from Japan
* The bridge is 1,150 feet long with not part touching the water below. Amazing.
