AIRPORT BLUES

Posted on February 24, 2005

We used to think that travel was exciting. We were wrong! Airplane seats are made for Protestant back sides and not Mediterranean tushes. Leg room is non existent. The air in the plane is stale. And the airports are sterile, boring, and uncomfortable. But worst of all, try to find anything of substance that is Continue Reading »

Because of the show that goes on at Esther’s Follies in downtown Austin. The place is a dive! Inside the main room, Continue Reading »

AUSTIN’S KOSHER STORE

Posted on February 18, 2005

We have written about the kosher store within a store in one of the H E B stores in Austin. Over time, we are happy to say, the fresh sandwiches served at the deli there have remained excellent. Although we still find it a tad odd to see deli served with bean sprouts, alfalfa and Continue Reading »

TARGET- NO MATTER HOW YOU SAY IT

Posted on February 17, 2005

We went to the super Target in Austin, Texas. Wowzers! What an eye opener that was! Target has apparently decided to give Walmart a run for their money in the Kosher foods department.
