Austin, Texas

You know you’re hearing the liberal beat in the heart of a conservative state when you consider that this city’s rallying cry is “Keep Austin Weird.” Equal parts college campus, state capital, high-tech boom town, and possibly the live music center of the universe, Austin dishes up all manner of world cuisine. But face it: you’re in the middle of Texas. Eat the barbecue (with sauce on the side if you know what’s good for you) or revel in a regional food fusion that makes expats as nostalgic about Austin’s Tex-Mex as a certain Frenchman was about madeleines. Walk it off with a stroll over Congress Avenue Bridge, where the country’s largest bat colony takes flight at dusk—or up Sixth Street, where the club scene rocks the night.

Sweet and Sour Chicken I

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2009 by Angie S. 
This is so good! I think the batter could be used for many different chicken recipes. It's a very delicious batter. The sauce is also very good. Not too sweet.

Easy Cheese Ball II

Reviewed on Dec. 1, 2009 by Red 
I LOVE this cheese ball. Who needs anything more involved when this tastes this good? Try to find the low sodium dry ranch mix if you can!

Parmesan Tomatoes

Reviewed on Dec. 1, 2009 by Red 
I just halved the tomatoes and pulled out the pulp. Used light mayo, used all dried herbs and added basil. Also, I just put them under the broiler instead of baking. The next time I might add some bread crumbs to the top along with the mozz
