Lemon Treats

May 11, 2012

I was meeting up with some friends the other day but showed up early at the destination. I decided to walk down the street to a place called Walton’s here in Austin. I’ve walked by a handful of times and was always drawn to it’s charm but had yet to go inside. I picked out a couple of treats from the counter, a lemon tart because I loveĀ  them, and a lemon macaroon to see why people love them so much. I suppose it was just a lemon treat kind of day. The macaroon was different than expected but I can’t decide if that was a good or a bad thing. The lemon tart was quite good and when I met up with my friend I shared and they agreed.

New Ice Cream Shop! Yes, please!

May 10, 2012

Within the last week I discovered there is a new ice cream shop here in Austin. I get super excited about trying new things and even more excited if they are sweets and then again even more excited when I find out they areĀ  using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. This place ranked high on the list of things for me to try. The day we decided go they had 12 flavors available and there were 4 of us so obviously we all picked 3 flavors so we could try everything. Best idea! After trying all the flavors my favorite was probably fresh mint and chocolate chunk and the least favorite by far was the cilantro and lime (I have that aversion to cilantro where it tastes like soap to me and it’s not all in my head because I had no idea which one was the cilantro flavor but when I did try it I was like eww what is this one?). I was pleased with all the rest. Good job Lick!

The other day Walker and I were at at Yelp party with some of our friends and we all got a little silly. I love how it looks like we might be riding a roller coaster in some of them. So fun!
