after a glass of wine, browsing the artwork, purchasing a original print and chatting with all the ladies, we were starving for lunch.
carolyn took us too
la gloria at the
pearl brewery. i had grilled fish tacos which were delish. if you happen to be dining at la gloria i definitely would recommend the grilled fish tacos (pescado zarandeado on the
menu). the location was perfect too, the restaurant was next to the river walk and the sun had come out and it was warm. just right for eating outside.
once we had eaten it was time to run errands for the birthday party - flowers and groceries - which was a lot of fun actually!
trying to stay healthy (didn't last after the first day),
anjelica and i made stir-fry for dinner. we didn't use a recipe, just bought some veggies and tofu, chopped it up, threw it in the wok and a few minutes later had a yummy dinner.
ingredients:
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 yellow squash
1 chayote
1 package snap peas
1/2 cup chopped green onion (picked from carolyns yard)
3 cloves garlic
1 package firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
add garlic, sauté for 1-2 mins. add chopped veggies, cook till the chayote & squash have reached desired softness. top with hoisin sauce & sriracha.
finally, here is what i wore on my first day in texas:
