Barney and Friends Birthday Cake on May 30, 2012 in Cake Decorating I was going through the list of posts on this blog’s dashboard and found a draft for an entry, which I attempted to write in March. It was about a cake that I made in September 2011. That’s just so flake-y, if you ask me! Hee hee. I don...
No-Bake Cupcake Favors on May 14, 2012 in Inedibles My daughter had her First Holy Communion over a week ago. I was not able to make a cake to commemorate the special day. I did, however, make “no-bake cupcakes” as token gifts for her friends who celebrated with us. So they’re inedib...
Twin Peaks on Apr 3, 2012 in Restaurants In a very recent lunch date, hubby and I went to a mountain lodge that offered scenic views practically anywhere and everywhere we looked. The really cool thing was, we didn’t have to drive more than 20 minutes away from where we live. So whe...
Sap’s Fine Thai Cuisine on Mar 27, 2012 in Restaurants Fans of Madam Mam’s Noodle(s) and More on West Gate Blvd. are all probably already aware by now of the name change to Sap’s Fine Thai Cuisine. You’ll find the reason for the said change at the very end of this Austin Chronicle artic...
Chompin’ on Chips on Mar 25, 2012 in Discounts Guilty Pleasures For a change, I was an eager spectator at a race yesterday, the Austin Statesman Capitol 10K. I was cheering, first and foremost, for my favorite runner in the whole wide world – hubby. *wink* I also cheered for a good friend and practically ev...
Airbrush Basics on Mar 23, 2012 in Cookware & Gadgets If there was one color rendering technique that always intimidated me as a student of architecture, it was airbrushing. So I stayed far far away from it, embarrassing as it is to admit. I don’t even recall ever touching an airbrush gun and a co...
Pink and Purple Garden Cake on Mar 22, 2012 in Cake Decorating Here’s another cake entry out of my treasure chest. Majority of the cakes I’ve made for little girls have the same color motif – pink and purple. I have to admit, I love those colors myself. When a friend requested me to make her da...
Happy Hour at Kona Grill on Mar 22, 2012 in Restaurants Sushi I love happy hour, not for the drinks but for the half-priced bar chow. True, choices are limited, but that’s something I can live with. To be honest, I really couldn’t care less about the drinks. I’m an eater more than a drinker. I...
Sweet Treats from Le Madeleine on Mar 19, 2012 in Desserts/Goodies I have a confession to make. Hubby and I have never hired a sitter. And neither have most, if not all, of our closest friends. Don’t judge because that’s just how we are, tragic as it might sound to some. Hee hee. However, our little circ...
Asia Cafe on Mar 18, 2012 in Uncategorized Who doesn’t love generous servings of good food at reasonably good prices? For dinner yesterday, we had just that exactly, generous servings of authentic Asian fare at under $10 per order at a place called Asia Cafe. At Asia Cafe, you are you...
