More House Pictures

A few additional shots of the house as unpacking progresses.

First home-cooked meal


Some local food items we picked up at the local H.E.B. to stock the new fridge.
Clockwise from top:

• Blue Bell Ice Cream -- apparently once called "the best ice cream in the world" by Time Magazine.
• Sweat Leaf Tea -- much better than Snapple, and available at most Whole Foods stores (also an Austin institution).
• Smoked sausage courtesy of Opa's Smoked Meats in nearby Fredericksburg.
• Shiner Dunkelweizen, one of the many Shiner beers brewed by Spoetzl Brewery.
