I have a sudden, all-consuming obsession with iced tea. It could be because summer is winding down and I’m holding on to it with everything I have, it could be because I recently read a book where the main character loves southern sweet tea (I’m that easily influenced), it could be because I’ve gone on…

Pepperita & Sweet, Sweet Texas Tea
When a bottle of this arrives on your doorstep, you thank the blogging gods: Treaty Oak Rum When you bring a bottle of this back to Aspen to enjoy a little taste of Texas, you get nostalgic for 100-degree days.

Austin: Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka

Frozen Yogurt is the New Cupcake
It’s bad. It’s the new trend. And I’m totally on the bandwagon.

Hey! Cupcake 2nd Location on Burnet Rd.
While I don’t personally care for Hey! Cupcake’s cupcakes (I MUCH prefer Sugarmama’s), in the interest of keeping up with the cupcake trend I feel obliged to point this out. Hey, Cupcake! opened a second location on Saturday, and this location is in an actual store rather than a silver Airstream on South Congress. But…
