Featured Restaurant - "la V" in Austin, TX
I had a quick say in Austin, TX recently and figured I would
share some of the highlights if you ever decided to take a trip there or if you
are currently residing and want to check some other spots out. So one of the
stand out restaurants was “la V”. It honestly reminded me of a few San
Francisco restaurants that I frequent. First, I went during Sunday brunch. The
food was great, but the service was wonderful. Seriously, I had the cutest
waiter and most of the staff appeared to be very ice looking indeed. laV offers a rustic yet
refined cuisine in a welcoming and beautiful setting. Dishes emphasize the
ingredients of the season and are at once simple and soulful. The world class
wine list provides a rich array of options to compliment the ever-changing menu.We
ordered the following (which I would most definitely recommend):
Starter:
kouign-amann, apple thyme jam & cultured jam
cheese plate, seasonal selection with accoutrements
bibb salad, green goddess dressing, garden radishes, pickled
spring onions
Main Entrees:
farm egg frittata, asparagus, melted leeks, ricotta, roasted
mushrooms
buckwheat crepes, scrambled eggs, smoked trout, hollandaise
Drinks:
House-Made Bellini Prosecco, Fresh Peach Purée (perfect)
Breakfast Martini Vodka, Cointreau, Orange Marmalade (on the
strong side for me)
They also had a wonderful Jazz Troupe that played a relaxing
and familiar set. From what I understand, this may be on the pricier side for
Austin, but well worth the experience.

So Sorry I Left You All Hanging **Sad Face**
I just wanted to give out an apology for being away so long.
The last couple of weeks have been life changing for me. I closed a few
chapters in life and began some brand new chapters as well. Hopefully, I won’t
have to ever keep you waiting that long again for my posts. So first, let me catch you all up on my weight
loss. So I am officially down 40 lbs as of last week. Amazing isn’t it. I’ll be
posting before and after photos in aug/sept – which will bring me to my 1 year anniversary
of clean eating and regular exercise (the regular exercise has only been regular
for about a month to be honest). I just want to clarify that I have cheated on
this lifestyle change many, many times. Not to gloat, but just to share some of
my shortcomings. Like this weekend for instance, I had to have some pizza and
chocolate cake. I really felt terrible afterwards (my body doesn’t want the
junk food anymore). But my emotions were craving junk. I’m not perfect and every
day I learn something new about myself and how disciplined I am. When I fall short, I just get back up. I don’t
like to accept defeat in any area of my life. I have another 30 lbs before I
reach my goal weight. I’ve been working out about 5 days a week and I can
really see the difference. Others around me are starting to notice as well. Unfortunately,
I just had oral surgery (on 6/3/2015) (I
had braces installed in April and had to make room so my teeth can move). My
surgeon has advise me to modify to a light workout (like light walking only
after a week or so after surgery). This is so frustrating as I am on a roll and
don’t want to lose the momentum. Well, I’m hopping back on the treadmill today.
It’s been a week and I can’t wait any longer. I no longer feel that burn in my muscles
that I like to feel. Wish me luck today. Hope I don’t bust these stitches, LOL
(no seriously J)
I’ll keep posting random updates for those who are
interested.
