“Taco Nite” Cedar Park, 2025

Tonight was taco night at our house, and it was a good one. We had al pastor and barbacoa to choose from, plus two kinds of salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, serranos, avocado, onion, cilantro, cojita & oaxaca cheeses, and plenty of lime. I ate so many tacos that I honestly lost count.

We warmed the corn tortillas on our comal before tucking them into the tortilla basket, and it made a huge difference. They came out soft, warm, and full of flavor. Definitely the right way to do taco night. 🌮

Our youngest son wrapped up his last class of the semester today, so we celebrated the best way we know how, with homemade takoyaki. It was absolutely delicious!

“Bacalhau” Austin, 2025

We visited with our friends tonight and they prepared an amazing meal. The first course was a dish called bacalhau, which is a dish made with dried cod, potato, and other spices. There are many variations, but our hosts described the one we had as coming from Spain. It was delicious! I definitely want to eat more!

“CF Moto” Waco, 2025

Today a friend and I took a trip up to Waco to check out the motorcycles at Barger’s All Sports. There were so many cool machines, but one tiny bike completely stole the show. The CF Moto Papio looked like something straight out of Mario Kart. I could not stop thinking about how fun it would be to race around on those little bikes.

After that, we headed over to Health Camp for burgers. I ordered the Double Health Burger and wow, it was incredible. It easily landed a spot in my top ten burgers of all time.

From there we stopped by Ride Now Powersports in Georgetown for a little more browsing before heading back home. The weather was sunny and warm, so I took my beloved motorcycle out for a ride to Sunset Deck. The view out there is always beautiful, and the stretch of gravel road on the way makes the ride even more fun.
