CoCo's

As far as we can remember, we found this through an article in the Austin weekly rag. It was our very first stop this trip to Austin - even before checking into the hotel.


The appetizer is an onion pie - a taiwanese style dish Nerdstar ate while living in Taiwan. I give her a hard time that she can't cook these for us at home!
The drink was actually a to g0 thing - it's coconut milk with tapioca pearls. Just one of dozens of flavors.

This dish will make tears of joy come to Nerdstar's eyes - literally. Just looking at this picture is about to make her cry... It's spicy beef noodle soup - taiwanese style.


This is a simple fried chicken and rice dish - but whatever sauce they pour over it is amazing. This is what I always get.

Just a simple little cafe. But they have several locations around Austin.

Breakfast

I can't tell you how much I miss breakfast tacos. And no, McD's attempt at them isn't even close.

It might not look like much - but it sure is tasty!

Nerdstar had the egg/chicken breafkast fajitas.

Whataburger

Every time we fly into Dallas, the very first stop we make is at Whataburger. You might think you've had a better burger, but you'd be wrong.

Nerdstar had the chicken strips - with good ole county gravy.
Done.

Shoes

Happy 4th!!!

I hope you don't end up with fireworks coming out of your butt today!!

(This is from the Hello Kitty calendar I got for Nerdstar.)

Baltimore

We learned how just one turn down one street can land you somewhere really odd! We weren't that far from the harbor we were heading to, but this one little block had all these adult clubs. It was really interesting!

And of course, of course, we loved Gay St!!
