Dried Fettucine

The hardest part about the morning is the cold because I don't like getting out of the warm bed. The best invention is the heater for the shower room. I'm so glad I don't have anything to shovel before I hit the road. On the drive in I noticed the grass looks more like dried fettuccine than lawn.

30 / Love

Tennis

Time off during the holidays has to be my favorite part of Christmas. The weather here is ideal for outdoor activities in the winter. After I had my arse handed to me on the court I called a rematch next week. Racquetball is more my thing and I knew I was being setup.

Stocked Up on Firewood

Yesterday, we had blustery weather arrive and by nightfall heaters were cranked on. When the weather dips to 32 at night I'm not going to miss my chance to get firewood. Christmas trees can wait but I was in need of logs, pronto!

Legendary Stubb's

Stubb's

This is one of my favorite places in Austin, Texas. If you're not into music, Austin will convince you you should be. Stubb's has the right mix of BBQ along with some of the finest world class music. What I like about this town is you cannot put a label on the music. Stubb's hosts all types of bands and does not discriminate based on genre. This is my belief in music as well.

Mission BBQ

BBQ and biscuits

I'm looking for the best BBQ in Austin, TX. Just thinking about the many choices has me salivating. Along with my meat of choice I am always floored at how mouth watering the sides are, like the biscuits I had at Jim and Nick's in Atlanta. Please help me with the best places to indulge in by leaving a comment on tips for my visit to Austin. Other than airport layovers, I've never been to Texas before and I look forward to the experience.

The Best Burger in Town

Nature's Pride Bakery

The Foodbuzz Tastemaker program sent me an assortment of breads to try for the summer grilling season. The all natural buns and rolls were the perfect addition to my BBQ. Each loaf is 100% organic bread. The whole wheat bakery buns rocked my world with flavor and texture and when I toasted them slightly on the grill the scent was heaven. I grill out often and now I will go out of my way to select these buns.

Carmenere and BBQ

Carmenere

I dream in BBQ. With the summer cookout season in full swing, I wanted to share one of my top wines I like to drink with BBQ. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I seek out red wine from Spain and Argentina. Theses wines are often unknowns and I like trying new flavors. Argentinians eat a lot meat and make bold wines to stand up the these dishes.

The other item to keep on hand for the BBQ is your sauce. Make it right and it will be talked about for decades, standing on its own or supporting the wine being served.
