Spanish Oaks.

Last week Dave played at Spanish Oaks Golf Club's happy hour. This place is gorgeous and if you are a golf fan who has some extra money to spend I highly recommend making a stop here if you're ever in Austin. I've heard their course is supposed to be one of the best...

If you ask me though I thought the food was the highlight of the evening (besides the fabulous music), but then again I'm no golfer.













As you can see it is a beautiful property nestled in the hills of Austin. I loved all the little details of it. The food was on another level though and we really appreciated the complimentary food since Dave played that night. Plus it is all organic and hormone free, perfection.

I mentioned before that this was the best portobello burger I've ever had and it's no lie. As a vegetarian I've had plenty of portobello burgers in my time, but none like this. The fresh mozzarella cheese and the bun really set this one off.

The rest of the food was amazing as well. We got the dip appetizer that was part of the happy hour special and all of the dips were great. The hummus was my favorite and it had a unique taste of any other hummus I've tried. Dave got the steak tacos and my burger came with a yummy Mediterranean salad.

BalconyTV

As I said yesterday, last night Dave recorded a segment with BalconyTV. It should air next week, I'll let you guys know of course, but maybe if you're lucky I'll have a sneak peak video that I shot. ;)

Not only was it exciting for Dave to be doing an interview with BalconyTV, but it was fun to check out Joe's Crab Shack (it was shot on their patio). I haven't been to one since my Dad took my brother and I on one of our vacations to Florida, probably in middle school...






 We got there a little early so we had time to relax and watch the band before Dave and order some drinks...I got the twisted cherry limeade in a mason jar and I highly recommend it. Made me want to stop by Sonic for happy hour.





Dave did his performance and interview and it went wonderful, as always. I loved that it was right on the lake, it's so relaxing out there!




Then we were able to sit back and enjoy our drinks and the atmosphere as another band played. I will say the one downside to being out by the beautiful water was it was 95 degrees last night...and we didn't get much breeze back there. But we made the best of it and still had a great time...


Before we left we ordered one of their big platters and an appetizer to-go. We don't usually eat this kind of food, but we thought we'd go big or go home. Now, I'm not usually one to complain about my food, but we were pretty disappointed when we got home and saw that this (picture above) is all we got for a $16 "big platter". It was supposed to come with fish and chips, shrimp, scallops, and coleslaw...as you can see there was one piece of fish, a few shrimp and scallops, and the tiniest little cup of coleslaw. Womp womp.

Overall it was a great night and I can't wait to see their video!

Happenings.

This week is a little crazy since Dave is out of classes for the week and we're preparing to go to Dallas this weekend for him to play some shows. There has been a lot going on and if you follow me on twitter and instagram (what are you waiting for?) then you might have already seen some of these, but I just had to share...

Above you will see:

-The beginnings of a tofu/veggie/rice bowl that Dave threw together...it was amazing, as always.
-My mornings, green tea and taking notes.
-Headed out for a girls night!

-Smart tea.
-The inside of the card I made my Mom for Mother's Day :)
-So much rain here in Austin...I have a love/hate relationship with it.

-A great idea that I had to mix a packet of Papa John's seasoning and a bit of light sour cream...perfect veggie dip, yum!
-Loving my new headphones from Velodyne, can't wait to tell you guys all about them.
-Blogger Happy Hour! I had so much fun with Shanna, Jessica, Brittany, and Jenni :)

What have you all been up to? Anything exciting that I've missed (besides the Bachelorette premier)?
