Austin Food Journal

Well, we might as well check on the tomatoes while we are at it. I am guessing they are maybe a third of the way there.

I came cross this site that reviews different brands of charcoal. It seems a little funny for someone to have such a site, but actually I am pretty jealous. Glad to see they like B&B as much as I do.

I thought I would give you an update on how our Meyer Lemon tree is doing. If you recall, it was just budding a few months ago. Besides great fruit, I was pleased to find out that these trees grow well in our climate. I didn’t realize that it took this long to make Lemon Confit.

I use Café Josie Chipotle Aioli. It’s so good, there is no point in making it myself.

Avocado, diced tomato, lime, salt and white onion. Let it stand an hour or so to mix the flavors. Warming up the chips is a nice touch also.

Iced Mexican beer with salt and lime.
UPDATE: Miller Beer is copying me! Just saw an ad for their new salt/lime beer.
