I Didn’t Know Sichuan, China Included Round Rock

This entry is part of a series, Austin Scene»

I often eat lunch at home, but every now and again I find myself “out and about” running errands and such just about the time the alarm goes off. The one in my middle, I mean. Years of working in the chemical industry taught me [...]

Late Lunch at Mandola’s Italian Market; Worth the Wait…

This entry is part of a series, Austin Scene»

Some days you get to travel internationally and never have to leave home…

Sunday Brunch Anniversary Celebration: Moonshine Restaurant Patio Bar and Grill

This entry is part of a series, Austin Scene»

I’m not sure how it is in your life, but sometimes the women in mine cause me no end of grief. Fortunately, this state of affairs seldom lasts longer than the time left until the heat death of the universe more than a short while. [...]

The Long Road Home, and the Great Eatery We Found Along the Way

Saturday morning dawned early, bright and clear, except for the doomed travelers. Seems staying out on Bourbon Street and environs until 4 AM isn’t conducive to being alert and smiling at 7 AM. The same day, I mean. Still, the revelers got a nice nap (unless they also had to pack their gear, which [...]
