We are the proud new owners of a Magic Chef vintage stove.

There’s this cool dial that you can choose what you’re baking and it tells you for how long.  They even have a “meringue on pies” setting!  (More dessert on my brain…)

Look at this luscious raspberry tart!  This one is from 2008, so even though it looks like I have dessert on my mind only just recently, rest assured that it’s always on my mind!

I’m calling this a gourmet dessert because I was so excited to take the photo, I forgot to see what it was!  Seen in San Antonio at the Pearl Brewery.

Mmmm.  Yummy hot cocoa for those cold winter days.  This is THE best, it’s Vollenweider chocolate and you can only get it in Marfa at The Squeeze.  But so worth it!  So nice of them to put the whipped cream on its own little plate.

They also sell chocolate and it’s the only place in the USA that you can get it. Check it out, The Squeeze in Marfa.

An orderly row of tuna in nice little cube packages.

We checked out a foodie destination in San Antonio, The Monterey.  Just read their menu, it’s full of surprises, odd food combos.  We had a banana-parsley dessert.  Yeah…it was weird and it was good.

We actually got to sit outside on their patio after suffering through one very long hot summer.  Noah had a Qster beer in my honor (that’s one of my nicknames).  And I tried valiantly to get my now very-old iPhone to do food photos, to no avail.  So just picture the yumminess in your head.

Here’s our hangover breakfast after attending a wedding.  Classic diner in Kingston, New York.  Eggs, homefries and two sausages.  Noah had french toast and ham.  Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” came on the radio and the moment was complete.

It’s that time of year for pumpkin spice bread.  Even better, how about baking it in a recycled soup can? An appealing tower of breadness!  The whole business just made me so happy (p.s.  as usual, Noah ate the bread while I watched).

Snack Bar in Austin is a new favorite.  They have gluten free options!  I can order my sunny-runny eggs (how Hitchcock would cringe!) and then wipe it all up with a piece of gf toast.  Yum!

It’s pronounced “Blank-O” and it was definitely stick-to-your-gut, old style Mexican food.  I figure, if I can just add some fresh avocado slices to a taco, plus steal a little bit of refried beans (made with lard, you know it!) of the hubby’s plate, then I’m a happy girl.
