Sunday, August 21st was a special Barbecue Day! If you follow me, you know I love good BBQ and would spend all of my free time in Central Texas. See my last BBQ adventure HERE "It is better to have burnt and lost, then never to have barbecued at all." ~ William Shakespeare Upon arrival, I had to decide what to start with... See What Jay Eats... Of course my first stop is always Todo Verde for an agua fresca.  Today I had the Naranjada.

They make Hong Kong Egg Waffles over charcoal. Henry suggested that I try the Matcha Green Tea version. Since they make the waffles over charcoal, I noticed that the waffle was crispier than the ones made from an electric waffle iron. Yellow Business was at ...

The Raspado "Orangria" was refreshing on a warm day. Che...

Happy National Ice Cream Day!   Lots of people came out for ice cream and had some special ice cream vendors too. It was probably the busiest day yet... It was nice seeing the Salt & Straw truck,  but look at this line... See What Jay Eats...   The Ice Cream Bonanza brought out a lot of people and many of the vendors ran  out of food. I happened to visit my friends at  Maury's Bagels. Jason said he was out of fish, so he put together an Avocado  Jalapeno Cheddar bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and red onions. Wow, it was a great combination! Before we packed up and headed for home, I was able to get a burrito from  Burritos La Palma . It may not l...
