Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Office Outing!

April 28, 2012 by Kristin

One of the things I enjoy most about working in our Austin office is how much everyone genuinely enjoys hanging out with each other.  I think this is largely in part to this office always being a small office.  But nonetheless, I love it!

The last Friday of every month, we do lunch together in the board room.  This month, the office manager suggested we take advantage of amazing weather and take a trip to one of the many food truck lots.  We packed ourselves in two cars and headed down to the Trailer Park Eatery on 1st Avenue.

Half of the group ate at Torchy’s and the other half (the health conscious half) ate at Conscious Cravings (how appropriate!).  We made bets on how many times the Torchy’s crew would tease us about our sandwiches.  I guessed 4, Brian guessed 3, Elizabeth guessed 2.  Brian won!

I ate the blackened tofu wrap and shared some baked rosemary fries with Elizabeth.  If you’re curious to see what I thought of each menu item (or any of the menu items I’ve eaten in Austin), check out my profile on Tasted Menu!

The Fa-Fa-Fantasea

July 16, 2011 by foodfash

I must admit that sunset cruising yesterday, although super touristy, was a fine way to spend a Friday afternoon!  We pulled up to the Publix on St. Pete Beach, which is usually our  go-to spot to pick up beach beers, bought some jalapenos and such, and walked around the corner to the tourist pavilion we have undoubtedly turned our noses up to countless times.

The “FantaSEA”?  Really?  We spent a solid fifteen minutes poking fun at our future ride before taking off.

We were a mere inches away from the dock before plopping jalapenos on the layer dip and digging in.  The layer dip that slid to one side and oozed on our booze.  Does anyone else know how to effectively use plastic wrap?  Ugh…

We noticed immediately how much chattier we were than our touristy boat mates.  We disregarded, killed two bottles of champagne and one fume blanc, and partook in some much needed giggling.  Giggling that became awkward, UNCONTROLLABLE silent laughter when the gent behind us took it upon himself to loudly and publicly flatulate.  True story, kids.

We inched as far as we could to the front of the boat for a group shot and agreed that we all take for granted how beautiful our home is.  Just a regular old Friday for a few Florida girls!

The amazingness of the sunset was masked by some cloudiness, but it was picturesque none the less.
