DATELINE: Austin, TX
While in Austin I dragged Adale around my old neighborhood. One highlight was going to La Mexicana Bakery on S. 1st.
They've got all the typical pretty but tasteless cookies that Mexican bakeries have, all sorts of cartoon-inspired birthday cakes, as well as new additions of breakfast & lunch tacos, a booth selling car insurance and wiring money to Latin America, and a small number of imported grocery items.
The most important part of any trip to La Mexicana is the pinkcake. I just asked Adale to describe it and she looked puzzled, saying it's just sheet cake with pink icing...nothing special. She's wrong. It's totally awesome.
The bakery is only a few blocks from where I used to live and I loved to stop by for some pinkcake on my way home from running errands . The cake is really soft, exceedingly sweet, and moist on the bottom.
Just look how happy I am. Pinkcake is the best!

For a second there I thought this was a picture of Greg receiving the Host at some new age church.
You go, Greg! Down that body of Christ!
What a showdown: our savior vs. The Man. (I figure Greg would win the early rounds, but Christ's patented "resurrection surprise" would be tough to beat.)
