Sinda and Jesse's house

This is a couple that proves you do NOT have to go out to have amazing food. Jesse's birthday was on June 19th (HAPPY BIRTHDAY) and they had a party this Saturday. Food included an amazing pork tenderloin (marinated by Kris and perfectly grilled by Jesse), grilled vegetable sandwiches and one of my favs - figs with goat cheese wrapped in proscuitto by Lisa.

I had a great time, ate way too much and learned a new card game - which I lost against more experienced players, but c'est la vie.

Lambert's

Lambert's on 2nd street in Downtown Austin on Friday night...what else can I say but YUM!!! Lisa, Sinda and I had girls night out and ate exclusively from the Bar Menu (not so coincidentally at the bar). We had oysters, shrimp, an endive and apple salad with gorgonzola and my favorite the (I will probably kill the spelling of this) charcuterie plate that included fois gras (glad it's not banned in Austin), brie, Pure Luck goat cheese, rabbit and quail egg pate, bread, and fresh honey (among other things). My second favorite was the oysters which were broiled with some apple smoked bacon, tomato and pesto butter. NOTHING was anything short of amazing though.
