I was just told about your website ...Hello there, <br /><br />I was just told about your website by my daughter and have been browsing all the recipe's etc, then came upon your "San Antonio" riverwalk piece. I live in San Antonio and it's nice to see people enjoying our city. If you ever have a longer time to spend, there is so much more to do and see in the area! For anyone who loves water slides and tubeing, you wouldn't want to miss the Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, just 20 min north of SA on the I35. There is a very large German influence in the San Antonio/New Braunfels/Fredricksburg area so there's a lot of food I don't have to "miss" :-) I'm a mennonite, born and raised in the Wpg MB area. Thanks for your website, very interesting and if any of your readers want to come and enjoy SA, I'd be more than happy to fill you in on anything they may want to see and do :-)msbelcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170327483364148712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-12639859768510513512009-04-16T09:58:00.000-07:002009-04-16T09:58:00.000-07:00Thank you for the lovely description of my adopted...Thank you for the lovely description of my adopted home town.

If I ever get to Texas I hope to include that in the trip. Thanks for sharing the guacamole recipe. I will be making that for sure. <br /><br />To answer your question on my blog - Jarts (aka Lawn Darts) is a game similar to horseshoes except you throw a large dart and aim to have it land in a plastic circle. Landing in the circle is worth 3 pts. and landing within one dart length from the circle is worth 1 pt. The first person or team to reach 21 is the winner. You may not be familiar with it as it was banned from being sold in the USA and Canada in the 80s. Even though the tip of the dart is not sharp apparently there were some injuries to children that resulted in it being pulled from the market.<br />I guess I'm dating myself to tell about playing this game. :-)Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-45489311905817728762009-04-14T10:28:00.000-07:002009-04-14T10:28:00.000-07:00You shared the River Walk in San Antonio.

Thank you for asking for the guacamole recipe -- it seems to have more avocado and less tomato than the one I make so I'd like to try it. It looks like the perfect meal to enjoy on a hot day!<br />Was the dessert a churro? It's a fried cinnamon flavored dough that is usually sold in a twisted stick form, but maybe they also make it flat.

Now, I do want to see the Riverwalk someday. How beautiful! The scenery and the way the city is laid out, is so interesting. It is too near lunch time to be looking at the delicious platters of food that you pictured.

Next to Vancouver, it's my favorite city - both of them for the interesting scenery and for keeping downtown alive (and lively). This is how guacamole should be prepared (do not mash the avocado!). The dessert is a buñuelo with fresh fruit - kind of like a deep-fried tortilla covered with cinnamon sugar and traditionally made for New Years Eve. Very yummy!Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183404267160772530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-52920380850244755622009-04-14T07:11:00.000-07:002009-04-14T07:11:00.000-07:00Both of those dishes look tempting - but I have a ...Both of those dishes look tempting - but I have a weakness for guacamole, so I'll be trying that first. <br />San Antonio is such a pretty city - you were smart to take the river tour!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-27222571091347804112009-04-14T06:54:00.000-07:002009-04-14T06:54:00.000-07:00Hi Judy, this is most interesting.
