Amy's Ice Cream

Austin, TX local favorite

This was the maple walnut flavor. Sweet and already pre-mixed with nuts. Noms.

Lakeline Mall food court in Austin, TX.

Step away for a few years, and this seems pretty cool. Sadly they took out the hot air balloon though.

Cajun seafood platter

From Mulate's in New Orleans, LA

Clockwise from the 12 o'clock - Cheddar mashed potato, stuffed crab, coleslaw, calamari, fried oysters, grilled catfish atop grilled crawfish, grilled shrimp.

The catfish, shrimp, and potatoes were superb. Stuffed crab was pretty good too. The calamari was terrible. The unpictured fried catfish appetizers were pretty tasty though.

Force Awakens movie posters

Star Wars The Force Awakens

Good movie. Way more satisfying than the prequels. And dare I say, Rey is a badass.

Sadly, these were not very good... but the rest of the dishes we ordered were very tasty.
