A Mama Fu’s Surprise
I have to preface talking about my experience at Mama Fu’s last night by letting you in on my bias: the other day, my parents and I drove by a Mama Fu’s and my parents started talking about how they had just gone last week and loved it. I looked at them puzzled and said,…
Britney Is Back. In Houston. And Dallas.
I feel like I’m an open book, but sometimes people say things like, “I NEVER would have guessed [x] about you!” That I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS is one of those things. People, I stood by her when she popped out two kids, married K-Fed (I even LIKED K-Fed!), shaved her head, hit a papazo (isn’t…

A new restaurant from the Lambert’s team called La Condesa (Mexican food?) is scheduled to open in February ’09, directly across from Lambert’s at the corner of Guadalupe and 2nd Street. Chef Rene Ortiz of New York’s La Esquina (the corner, haha) will lead the restaurant and Lambert’s Executive Chef Larry McGuire will assist in…
Iron Cactus Brunch
My friends and I are finally jumping on the brunch bandwagon socialites have been riding for years: what better way to rehash the night before than over hashbrowns and mimosas? Hair of the dog … So we went to Moonshine awhile ago and loved it. Yesterday we hit a spot most of us didn’t even…

It’s so worthless from a work standpoint–you’ve got four times the amount of email you normally do, everyone wants to chat about their holiday, and you’d really just rather be running off the pies you ate than sitting at a desk. Did you participate in Black…
Reusable bags are all the rage …
… yes, but the problem with all these silly canvas totes is what to do with produce? You still get a bazillion of those little cheap baggies that you can’t even use as trash can liners (what I do with store plastic bags). Enter Austin company Blue Avocado (why?) with their Grocery Packs, including resuable…
3 Ms: New Bars I Haven’t Checked Out
In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving break, I’m rounding up three new bars I haven’t been to yet, but would love to check out if I had the time. I hear the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a great night for partying–less if you’re driving to Houston the next day (me), but still … Malaia –…
Four Seasons Tree Lighting
I love the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, with their incredible popovers and see-and-be-seen lobby bar. Tonight, they’ll be lighting their tree and unveiling their crazy-cool Gingerbread Village and everyone is invited! 5:30pm in the lobby. Complimentary treats and refreshments will be served. I went last year and had a great time–the gingerbread village really is…
