Cowboys


I've done some amazing things this month- and have been really busy- so forgive me for not updating you sooner. About three weeks ago I went to Salt Lick BBQ, here in Austin, TX, and Scott Roberts, the owner, gave me some lessons in Texan BBQ. It is such a great restaurant with a real American history. Scott's parents started the restaurant forty years ago, with no electricity, no building, and just a smoker on the side of the road. Today Salt Lick serves about half a million people every year.

I learned to cook ribs, brisket, sausage, potato salad, coleslaw...I'm no expert, but I learned a lot. Right after finishing with Scott we headed to West Texas where I met a couple of cowboys and went on a round up. What an experience. Here are some photos from the week, I think they capture my time better than words can:
