beautiful day part 2

okay, so if you read yesterday's blog you know that my friend caroline and i went to central market and were going to make something great with our finds. she's a vegetarian so instead of burgers & steaks we opted for something a little healthier....

a grilled veggie sandwich!

but first, here's arty vandalay whilst we grill...he was busy reading magazines and chatting with the girls...



i grilled zucchini, onion, a portabello mushroom and roasted a red pepper. we got some fresh pita bread from phoenicia bakery here in austin which is amazing. i took some simple goat cheese and added fresh garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, onion powder, red chili flakes and salt & pepper for our spread. we built the sandwiches with spread first, i added avocado, the roasted red pepper, mushroom, onion, tomato and mesclun greens. WOW! what flavor! so here is the sandwich in all its glory:



cheers!

blog a day blunder

thanks blogger for not posting my blog yesterday! argh! so here it is...posted a day later since the "scheduler" wasn't working....

i'd like to introduce to you arty vandalay. he's a little guy with a big personality. while caroline is here we will be following arty on his many adventures.

here we are at chuy's in austin enjoying a frozen margarita and some yummy tex-mex food. arty loved this place and you would too!



arty is very excited to be in austin and is looking forward to sharing his shenanigans with all of you.

cheers!
