Adventure Begins in the Kitchen
Hi friends! A little heads up about how I’ll be hosting a giveaway with Cooking Planit for this spice set (including 26 spices!) that will begin on Monday, March 11th. The Spice Giveaway is unique in that 49 other bloggers are also participating over the next month. This means, there is a serious opportunity (50 chances, to be exact) to win an awesome prize and an even bigger opportunity to meet some new blogging friends. Hope this giveaway is as exciting to you as it is to me!
You know… I promised myself I wasn’t going to involve Excel in my SXSW happenings this year. But for the same reasons that I can’t handle the surprise of gift receiving, I couldn’t help it. The unknown is scary for me, even when it comes to tunes. Besides, I didn’t even open Excel. Google Docs… Completely different.

I never, not for one moment, forget how wonderful Austin is and how lucky I am to be here. But days like the Zilker Kite Festival, when there are no less than 20,000 people gathered under the sunshine and a clear blue sky… Gosh, you can’t help but wonder how a place like this even exists.
Matt, Snoop, and I flew our lady bug and Ninja Turtle kites, respectively, without a hitch. We were even able to let out all the string, which I had never been able to accomplish before. And Snoop, oh Snoop, was a sneaky little pup and stole a shrimp from our picnicking neighbors. We all won a little bit during kite festival day!
Who knew an almost 30 year old could have this much fun flying a kite!

This past weekend, I invited the boys behind Dickie Boards over for some homemade pizza and nerd Q&A. I prepped my go-to pizza dough recipe (the original) and went shopping for classic toppings while the dough was doubling in size.
Pizza 1: Pepperoni with Red Peppers. Pizza 2: 1/2 Carmelized Onion, 1/2 Plain Ol’ Pepperoni
We worked on graphics, listened to old recordings of the Rolling Stones playing with Muddy Waters, drank leftover Cheer Beer (does beer go bad??), and devoured all of that pizza. Scratch that, Brett and Dickie devoured all of that pizza. Bottomless pits, I tell ya!
Be sure to show Dickie Boards some love in the virtual world! You can follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep up with the latest #enjoytheride happenings on the lake.
