Ok, so there is a lot of food talk on this blog recently. It's the baby's fault. I seriously have the appetite of a 13 year old boy right now.
A couple of months ago, my friend Minda introduced me to a Mexican bakery here in Austin called Chuy's. (Not the Tex-Mex restaurant) She took me to have tortas for lunch. This was good because she ordered in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish. The tortas were divine. THEN I discovered the bakery on the other side of the restaurant. Oh. My. Heavens. Delightful.
Just this Saturday I took Ben there to buy bread bowls for the potato soup. Once he laid eyes on the baked goods laid out before him, he had to give them a try. We bought a churro, a sausage kolache, three bread bowls and a pound cake muffin thingey.
It cost us $4.50.
Angels sang.
I wept.
No one needed to speak Spanish.
Baked goods are a universal language.

So imagine my lack of surprise when this morning Ben asked me if I was going back to Chuy's today. Needless to say we did. We got a strawberry empanada (HEAVEN), yellow cake with coconut frosting, another churro and two more pound cake muffin thingeys. Ben didn't want to share the pound cake this time. All of this for a measly $3.50.
We did not eat it all. In fact, we just ate the empanada and the cake. I think Ben would have ate the muffin too.
Anyway, here is their yelp page.
If you are ever in Austin to see us, remind me to take you there.
