We’re just getting settled back in from our trip to Austin, College Station and San Antonio. It was a whirlwind trip…lots of sights and family.
I’ll try to catch up on the highlights here, at least when it comes to the food.
A definite high point: Round Rock Donuts, an Austin-area favorite since 1926.
These orangish rings of fried dough are best had when hot, but plenty tasty as they start to cool.
Our brother-in-law surprised us with a Texas-sized donut, just for show. But it looked like to could easily feed a brunch crowd.
And speaking of Round Rock, we had a chance to see the real thing….a roundish rock mid-stream used by Native Americans and early settlers to judge the depth of the creek before forging ahead with animals and livestock.
The area was so well traveled that you can still see the wagon ruts worn through the rocky creek bed.
