Texadelphia, Austin, TX.


Cheesesteak with Texadelphia's super-yum creamy mustard sauce. P and I shared one for a late lunch. Yummy, but I might like Bruchi's back home a bit more.


Amy's Ice Cream, Austin, TX.

Amy's is a big local chain in Austin that does Cold Stone style mix-ins.


I got a coffee flavor ice cream with Junior Mints and Whoppers as my mix-ins. I love Whoppers with ice cream and love Junior Mints, but not with ice cream. I had a feeling the Junior Mints might taste a bit funny--I think it was the texture of the minty cream center. ;) The ice cream itself is a little "gummy" for lack of a better word. P doesn't like it, but I liked it just fine.

Trudy's Tex-Mex, Austin, TX.

Apparently their "green salsa" is famous. And it was reaaaally very good.

Taco salad with chicken and cilantro dressing. I'm HUGE on taco salads WITH dressing. Underdogs' (the new Nick's Crispy Tacos) is my favorite, but this comes in second. The dressing was nice and the chicken was cooked perfectly!


Whataburger, Austin, TX.

Oooooh man. On our way to the lake we stopped at Chick-fil-A, and on our way back to Austin we stopped at Whataburger--another chain that I'd never seen before. Well, it wasn't amazing.. It didn't make me say "What a burger!".. Haha. I think I can only handle so much meat and it was definitely a long weekend of meat. ;)


Shin ramyun (신라면), Lake Travis, TX.

YAAAAAY!!!! After all of that crazy (good) food, I needed something Korean! My family usually has Shin ramyun on trips so this was perfect! Thank goodness P's uncle brought some. It was divine. :)

Grilled corn, Lake Travis, SF.

That's a whole lotta corn.

Yum.

Fishing and feasting, Lake Travis, TX.

P's catch! The fish is blending into the dock a little, but it's there! Haha.

Freeeesh fish.

Grilled.

Well, this was the first time I remember catching and eating fish, but I had a little bit. ;)

Shishkabobs, Lake Travis, SF.

We had marinated beef and chicken, shrimp, red onion, cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers and mushrooms. Yum!

Waffles, Lake Travis, SF.

P's sisters made waffles for breaky! Fruit was gone by the time we got there, but they were yummy with just syrup, too.

Lakeside s'mores, Lake Travis, TX.

We cheated and used the grill to toast the marshmallows.

Perfectly toasted marshmallow, if I do say so myself! :) The chocolate was frozen so it didn't melt so well, but it was still a scruuumptious s'more. Mmmmm mmmmm mmmm!
