Worn out after La Dolce Vita? Maybe thinking about just taking this weekend off? Sure, that sounds nice. Chances are, though, you are going to find yourself standing in front of a church, covered in feta and pine nuts, laughing like the mad Greek you are.

Tour de Cheese
Bicycle Bottle Rocket
Two of my favorite things: bicycles, beer and food. OK, you got me, three. New Belgium is showing Bottle Rocket tonight at the Triangle. Beer is flowing by 7 p.m. or before. Shows start at dusk. Free admission, but $2 suggested donation. Beer is $3. Food from the Flying Saucer. All proceeds to benefit the LOBV. Don’t forget a chair or blanket.
Parmesan Crown
Now that it is frightening cold (and still humid) in Austin, I thought I would make some meatballs. A quick sauce of San Marzano tomatoes, red wine, dried oregano and honey. And if that wasn’t enough, I made a funny hat to go on top. Restaurants sometimes do this to turn a nine dollar entree into a fourteen dollar one.
