I know when you’re in Texas you’re supposed to do things like see rodeos, wear cowboy hats and eat bar-b-que. Chip and I managed to do none of these things.
Instead, we spent our Texan time driving as fast as we could across the entire state (no speedin’ Ma!)
creating fun organizational tools to ensure maximum panic mode whenever in the car
and eating the best falafel OF MY LIFE from Kismet Cafe.
Holy hummus, this SANDWICH WAS EPIC. Inside that innocent looking pita was hummus, lettuce, tomato, cukes, onions, black olives, falafel and a little bit of sunshine.
Chip got a gyro, and it was also INSANELY good. Not only were our pitas awesome, they were super cheap too. Like, $5 cheap. When you are trying to travel on $40 a day $5 lunches are cause to dance, stand up and shout, take your clothes off, etc. These sandwiches were so good we kept talking about them later that night as we ate pasta we had cooked two days ago and forgot to eat…(insert womp womp noise here)
Speaking of hummus…
AHHH! We split a side of hummus and pita and it was amazing. Creamy, smooth, lemony and covered in a splash of olive oil, this hummus made my life complete. We licked the last of it off the plate when we ran out of pita.
So, the moral of the story? If you are in Austin, Texas go to Kismet Cafe. You will thank me.
So, even though we didn’t eat any bar-b-que (which I am slightly of ashamed of) I did get all Southern about it and tried some saweet tea. As I drank it I pretended I was on a front porch, in a wicker rocking chair, perhaps in a gingham dress and cowboy boots.
Some things we passed on our Texas drives…
Statesmanship!
Houston!
Murals!
Oh, and did I mention Chip spent most of his time in the passenger seat pretending to eat these and/or throwing them at the windshield and then catching them when they bounced back?
We have a video of this somewhere…
