It’s high time for a sunny, rosy post on things. So here you go.
What a truly fantastic Halloween we had. Folks were out in full effect with some of the most creative (even for Austin) costumes I’ve ever seen. The Zombie Ball was pretty cool and then the evening got even weirder when we headed across the street to Justine’s and ran into Dai Due + Duplechan crew enjoying a post-Cathedral of Junk dinner, dressed as USDA inspectors. I tol’ Tamara it was the best costume idea EVER.
Unfortunately Justine’s was out of duck confit so we ate some cheese and bread. Eh. Then, back outside, we hopped aboard the snake bike and rode down the street, practically to downtown:
Built by Austin Bike Zoo, it was a sight to see. I did not even think first; I just jumped on. It was exhilarating! Did you know that I’ve not been on a bike in earnest since I was 15? (Bad accident, broken bones, long story). Austin Bike Zoo inspired me to “get back on the bike” – literally.
Lastly: I am SO nomming on The Rebeccamendations – another fab Austin blog – behold the truffles I’ll be making like an elf (though not Keebler!) throughout the holidays.
Thanks so much for your mention of my Truffles post! Please share photos and endulger reactions after you make them!!
