Week 2: Oh, The Places You’ll Go! [In Austin, TX]

by

White Christmas lights were hanging around the ceiling. You could hear some Italian folk-music playing in the background, drowned out by the lively chatter of adults to small children. Austin has so many great places to see, but my favorite, by far, is Mimi’s Cafe.

To start off with, the food is especially delectable. The salads are crunchy with bittersweet olives, the sodas melt into your mouth with a burning taste in your throat, even the ice-cream sundaes have a rich chocolate-y flavor and is always topped off with extra whipped cream. For the kids, the spicy spaghetti and juicy, tender burgers are a crowd-pleaser. Ugh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

To top it off, the Italian decor is beautiful. As I mentioned earlier, there are festive Christmas lights hanging around the ceiling, and Italian music playing. But, there are also homely photographs of nice customers, and my favorite, elegant chandeliers hanging all over the ceiling. The whole place looks sort-of like a queen’s ballroom and a homely resteraunt combined, a very pretty Italian vibe.

So, if you are ever in need for new foods to try out, or have to take your child to celebrate an award, Mimi’s Cafe is always a crowd-pleaser.

Why Chocolate Should Be A Food Group

by

“Hey, pass me that dark chocolate peanut butter Hershey sea-salt candy bar, will you?”. Ok, so maybe people don’t say that exactly, but there are so many types of chocolate, that I wouldn’t be surprised if a ‘dark chocolate peanut butter Hershey sea-salt candy bar’ actually did exist! You know what? Chocolate should be its very own food group.

Why, you ask? First of all, there are millions of types of chocolate! There are so many types of chocolate that even Willy Wonka would be surprised. There is peanut-butter chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and so much more! If you’re like me, then you can never be content with just one type.

On top of that, chocolate tastes REALLY good, if you have a sweet tooth like me. Whenever I come home from school, I make some hot chocolate, with a mountain of marshmallows, and I eat some chocolate chip ice cream with it! Chocolate is the ambrosia of food-critics everywhere!

Furthermore, say that you were up studying really late for exams or finals. It is scientifically proven that cacao helps your brain work better, and that will get you a better score on the test. Or say that your boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with you. It’s going to take a lot of chocolate (and some Nicholas Sparks movies) to get you to feel better. But, without the chocolate, you wouldn’t be getting happier at all.

So this is why I believe chocolate should be a food group. There are many different types of chocolate, it can be a good part of your diet, and it makes you feel better! Plus, it also tastes good (for the benefit of us, children)! Chocolate fits all the classifications needed to be a food group!
