Four weddings and a funeral?

No fear! Not on this, my last weekend in Austin - rather "Two Delicious Dinners and One Luscious Lunch"!

Friday 16 September 2011

Dinner at the Rio Grande (restaurant, not river!) with Kathia and Robert.

Turns out - it serves "Monster Margs" and "Major Mexican Martinis".. who knew?


Kathia went into full "chores to do at the weekend" mode - methinks Robert wasn't too pleased to see the growing list on the napkin, but Kathia was soon distracted by "trying on" a new dress!
 
I met my first "Red-headed margarita" (the drink, not the girl - modelled here by a friendly local) and helped a Mexican chappie to celebrate his Independence Day!

Dinner at Waterloo Icehouse which was a trip down memory lane, driving down 360 en route to VTEL(not) .  Chilled evening and good ol' burger dinner followed with Robyn and Ken...who were CLEARLY delighted with their small gift of homemade Bianca's Banana Bread!

Today I enjoyed a really lovely Sunday lunch with the family at Meli's partner's home.  Just a regular lunch, if you count Albert Roux Don as family.  Wow - the boy dun good!

It would take a 53 page PowerPoint presentation to explain the complexities of the "in-laws", "steps" etc, but suffice to say I really enjoyed meeting all the various "extentions" to Kathia's family.  A perfect ending to a fabulous weekend!
