Sandra Bullock moved to Austin right after I did.
In my heart, I was hoping she was following me, but was shy. That's why she's never come over for pizza and a movie. (The invitation is still open, Sandra, if you interested. :wink: )
Hey, I can dream can't I?

The way one speaks Texan is just to say they love Blue Bonnet ice cream. c.i.

I nearly forgot to mention the whole reason I moved to Austin!
DoubleDave's Pepperoni Rolls. This would also be a good place to meet. Lots of space. Relaxed atmosphere. Pool tables.
They're a little expensive, but their food makes my knees buckle. Next to Krispy Kreme, this is the second biggest threat to my diet.

They don't sound familar. Of course, my problem is that when I find something I love, I tend to stick with it. Only rarely do I experiment.
BTW - Do they have something similar to pepperoni rolls? DoubleDave's pizza is okay, but I ALWAYS get the pepperoni rolls. For pizza, and I know I'll get smacked for this, I usually get Dominos.
