While Houston has a few great late night options, the new Yelapa hours will provide a slightly more sophisticated option for satisying [...]

It’s that time of the month again.  Ok, not *that* time.  Like I would blog about that…  Eiw.
It’s (almost) time for me to go to some more conferences!  SCaLE was February, SXSWi was March, and April is all about Texas Linux Fest and DrupalCon.

Tonight I got my second shot at Kata Robata’s Ensui Uni sashimi, and it was well worth the $14 for a wee bowl of the jiggly goodness.
I sampled a bit of this yellow-orange treasure a couple of weeks ago at Kata Robata, my favorite local Japanese restaurant.  Chef Hori introduced the uni, which is apparently [...]

I made chili for dinner tonight.  I know, I lead a very exciting life.
I don’t normally get so excited about my own cooking (ok, except for the tenderloin, but I digress), but this chili was SO good I have to share.
I found the recipe on this random Texas Chili site, but made a [...]
