Fork & Taco

The first Austin restaurant on our list of new places to try was Fork & Taco on Lamar. The neighborhood is fun, and the food was great!

I had the Beer-Braised Brisket taco, and the man had the Jerk-Dusted Chicken. We also shared some guacamole and chips.

The food was wonderful, but the best part about Fork & Taco was the service. We had the man's tired, 1-year-old niece with us, and one of the employees rushed her out some milk and anything else we needed to keep her happy and smiling.

Again, we are horrible at photos, but I'm working on that!

Try it out for yourself!

Austin Monthly Diner's Club

Last week after finding out that I passed the Texas Bar Exam (post to follow), a few friends and I headed out to Nest Modern in downtown Austin for the Austin Monthly Diner's Club.

It was fantastic to really get into the Austin scene. I have been so busy looking for jobs and getting situated, I haven't really had the chance to really do all of the things that make Austin so great.

It was a 50's-themed party featuring food and drinks from some of Austin's hottest new restaurants. I need to get back in the habit of taking pictures, but Austin Monthly took care of that for me too! Check the event out on Austin Monthly's Website.

The man and I have decided that we are going to limit eating out to restaurants that are new-to-us and mostly local Austin spots. Look for reviews to come!

Best,

Amber

Fall Bucket List

In Texas it is usually all about summer bucket lists (because it is summer virtually half of the year), but my favorite season is FALL! I love everything about it - the changing colors, the cooler temperatures, sweaters, pumpkins, Halloween, boots, and darker nail polish hues. Of course the best part is that it is Festival Season in Texas!

Here goes the list:

1) Carve pumpkins

2) Bake pumpkin bread with above pumpkins

3) Enjoy coffee and the news on my porch - Just picked up a new brew in Gonzales, TX this week

4) Enjoy the view above the 360 bridge (Pennybacker Bridge) - Austin

5) Enjoy an outdoor concert - I'm thinking Charlie Mars at Threadgills

6) Go for a hike

7) Go paddle boarding or kayaking before it gets too cold

8) Hit up a few wine festivals - 2014 Texas Fall Wine Festivals

9) Scream at a Haunted House - this one looks good

10) Work hard at Pure Barre 4 times a week - Emily inspired me

Happy Weekend!
