Thank goodness for tailgating! You wouldn’t really know it’s fall in Austin without hordes of burnt-orange-clad revelers crowding the streets of campus. Three of my top picks (two are recurring, one is this weekend only): La Condesa’s awesome tailgate 17th & Congress from 12 pm – 6 pm for all home games FREE Grilled Mexican Street Corn and…
Aspen: Oktoberfest. In September. Whatever.
Maybe it’s a smidge odd that the Second Annual Oktoberfest in Aspen is being celebrated at the end of September … but nonetheless, the Wienerstube celebrates German traditions with live music, authentic Austrian and Bavarian food, and, naturally, beer! wienerstube.com, 970.925.3357
Buck Furpees, and oh, there’s some foliage!
This 100 Day Challenge sometimes annoys the crap out of me. Like, I’ve already gone to yoga, played 2 hours of sand volleyball, and I have to do 37 burpees? Some days, it’s my saving grace. Like, it’s 10pm, I’ve been working since 9am with no break, and it’s the only thing I could possibly…
My Generation (Fall TV)
Tonight, ABC will premiere My Generation – a new scripted drama set in Austin, Texas. And filmed at my high school! Maybe not a lot of awesome has come out of that school (except me, and my bro) but this show actually has made quite a splash with pre-reviewers. It’s kind of expected to be…
Aspen: Only 63 days ’til ski season … The Meeting

Eggplant sweet potato lasagna
I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…

Austin: Finally, Uchiko “I even ate one of those little buggers”
A confession, y’all. I’ve eaten at Uchiko twice now, and not blogged about it. I KNOW it’s the It restaurant, I know everyone wants to know how it is, but I just had a terrible, no good, very bad experience during their soft opening and I could not get over it. The food was delicious.…
