Trudy’s and Amy’s Ice Cream | Austin, Texas

November 13, 2011 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

During Halloween weekend, we had some adventures.

Me, Jenny, Tammy, Brian, Richard, Susan, Peter, Michelle, Wilson P., Long, and Steven all went to:

Trudy’s
409 West 30th Street
Austin, TX
(512) 477-2935
www.trudys.com

We had to split up with seating so I sat with Peter, Susan, and Michelle.

It comes with free chips and two different salsa dips. We had already eaten halfway until I realized I had to take a picture. Whoops!

Us four ate at least four times this if not more. It was that good!

Beef Fajita Ala Mexicana [tender beef fajita meat marinated in a soy-ginger spice blend and sautéed with onions, cilantro, jalapenos, tomatoes and lime juice. Garnished with a small salad and sliced avocado. Served with Spanish rice, borracho beans and a choice of tortillas] | $12.50

I got a choice of corn tortillas. Omgosh … I about died. The meat was so juicy and succulent. I was very full. I wasn’t even halfway full. (Maybe it was the chips?) But I made sure to finish ALL the meat. Because it would be a waste if I didn’t.

******************

After we ate, Wilson P., Michelle, Steven, and I were heading back to the apartment and stopped by

Amy’s Ice Creams
1012 West 6th Street
Austin, TX
(512) 480-0673

Irish Crème with a waffle cone and sprinkles | ~$5

I’ve never had ice cream with alcohol before so it was a good experience. I couldn’t taste the alcohol but Wilson P. and Michelle thinks it’s filled with it. Hmm …

This was what sparked my ice cream with sprinkles addiction with the last post I made. It was that good. Sadly Amy’s is the best ice cream place I’ve ever been.

Save the Date!

November 12, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

I changed the tabs up top.

Instead of it saying “my little cookbook.” it’s now simply “food.”

Then there’s a drop down to chose from the cookbook or restaurants I’ve been too.

Check it out!! 🙂

*****************

I’m not sure if you remember me talking about my high school best friend, Alyssa, getting engaged this summer.

I just received her and Greg’s “Save the Date” invitations. (I hope you’re not angry at me posting it up!) I crossed out the important information. Winking smile

I’m not going to lie. I am very jealous of her. She’s already found her one! And those pictures are just lovely.

I stalked the website they have about their wedding. There are even more gorgeous pictures and their background story. It’s so stinking cute!

We are growing up too fast.

Picture Bomb

I finally figured how to get pictures out my phone. I’m slow. Leave me alone.

Here are some random pictures!! They’re all pretty much food except for one. Winking smile

2011-10-29 01.28.56

10.28.11 with Jenny and Richard at the apartment.

My first Negra Modelo. So delicious. So dark.

2011-10-29 12.25.002011-10-29 12.40.13

10.30.11 with Jenny and Richard at Kumori Sushi & Teppanyaki.

L: Hand Grenade. My favorite at Kumori. So dang delicious!

R: I don’t remember what rolls we got but the top is Richard & Jenny’s. The bottom was mine.

Seriously. If you ever go to San Antonio and have a craving for sushi, go here.

2011-10-31 20.03.22

10.31.11 with Trisha at Coldstone.

She needed someone to talk to so we went and got ice cream. This is the first time I’ve ever ordered ice cream in a waffle bowl dipped in chocolate. The ice cream flavor is cinnamon and I got sprinkles mixed in.

I only got cinnamon because the guy that worked there said he liked the cinnamon the best. He was cute so I went with it. Yum! It was so delicious!

11.02.11 alone in the apartment. Sad smile

I hate bread. Okay, not hate but dislike it with a passion. But I love sandwich thins!! They taste so much better!! And I bought my first ever Quorn soy patties. This is in the form of cheese burger. They taste better than they smell.

I also had a side of romaine lettuce. And dipped it in some Annie’s Naturals Organic Cowgirl Ranch. It’s okay. I’m not a big fan of it. I won’t go out and get it again but I’ll definitely try the other flavors.

I’m a college student so sometimes when I’m lazy to wash dishes, I put wax paper, saran wrap, or foil on the plate so I can just take it off and not have to wash. Whoops. Smile with tongue out

2011-11-04 11.22.152011-11-04 11.41.05

11.04.11 alone in the apartment

My first ever, Amy’s Pizza Pesto. The one on the left is the original. I added some mushrooms on it so that I can get fuller. Hence the difference on the right.

I want more!!! It was delicious. (I needed new words describing amazing foods!)

2011-11-05 20.56.08

11.05.11 with Gary and Katrina at Coldstone.

They wanted to hang out and talk about random stuff and they wanted ice cream … so we got ice cream. Now you know why I’m nowhere near to losing weight?

This one’s cake batter with sprinkles rolled in.

2011-11-06 18.59.31

11.06.11 with Tammy at Rudy’s

We had a lot of leftovers. I ate it for another three meals after this.

2011-11-09 14.36.08

11.09.11 alone at the shuttles

Just wanted to end it with not food.

I will be updating some places we went to now that I’ve figured how to get it out my phone!! So keep a look out!!

For The Kids Dance Marathon at UTSA

November 9, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I have great blog friends. I don’t have a lot like others, but it’s not the quantity, but the quality that matters. Winking smile

Last Friday, my organization, For The Kids (FTK) Dance Marathon at UTSA hosted our kick-off event, Fashion Out Cancer Show.

You like the flyer I created?

Fashion Out Cancer Show Flyer Final

Planning and putting together the event was stressful. Thinking everything would go well … think again. Things go wrong.

Things always go wrong.

Though we seemed a little disorganized and frazzled with everything that was going on, the kids and the families had fun. And that is all that mattered.

I love seeing those kids on stage, having fun, just getting to be a kid for once instead of being confined to the hospital walls.

The whole purpose is to help raise awareness about pediatric cancer in South Texas and fundraise money for families in need.

It’s starting to catch on on campus and hopefully the whole community will be aware.

Hopefully one day we can help fund money for pediatric cancer research. Here’s to hoping.

Currently at Starbucks. Sippin’ on an Eggnog Latte. While studying for my Finance test I have tomorrow.

It’s my first one ever and I think it’s so so.

I’m with these cuties!

I’m getting Rudy’s tonight with Tammy and Jenny.

I’m excited. Hopefully it’ll follow through because I want some creamed corn!

Okay. Back to studying.

Hope your weekend is going well! Smile
