Sorry, this entry is several weeks behind! We have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to keep the blog up to date. We actually just got back to Texas after a trip home to the Midwest for Thanksgiving. I will blog a separate entry for that.One of the best things about living in Texas is all of the exciting food festivals that San Antonio hosts. We actually missed a pretty large one, Wurstfest, two weeks ago but made up for it by visiting one of the biggest events in the state. On Sunday November 15th the Atkinsons and the Williams visited the final event in the San Antonio Food and Wine festival series: The Totally Tejas Festival at Rio Cibolo Ranch. Rio Cibolo Ranch in Marion, Texas (http://www.riociboloranch.com/) is about 20 minutes from our apartment and is a popular site for cooking lessons, wine tasting, horseback riding, weddings etc...
The Totally Tejas event was WAY larger than any of us ever expected! There was over 100 different wines to taste, food to sample from San Antonio's best restaurants, gourmet meats and cheeses, live entertainment, a barbeque cook-off...gosh! It was all so overwhelming. We managed to make it to each booth and fill our bellies with all kinds of yummy samples. Samara was a trooper and didn't cry the entire day. Clearly, she's a very cultured baby. Mary Jacqueline and I answered a trivia question correctly and won Glee (the fabulous sitcom on Fox) t-shirts! The non-food highlights of the day included MJ and I taking an imaginary ride in a Porsche Cayenne and being lassoed by a real live cowboy! We will definitely be visiting this event annually as it was more than entertaining.
Samara, who didn't get to eat any cool food or drink any wine, was pretty darn happy at the end of the day:)
