Hot Sauce Fest & Last Symphony On The Green

We went to the 18th Annual Austin Hot Sauce Festival on Sunday. While the weather put up a strong bid to win top prize for overall hottest, there were lots of sauces to choose from. Our favorite entry was from Gourmet Country Farm and was called Koki's Green Garlic Salsa. They hydroponically grow green garlic, which looks more like grass or chives, and they use the bulbs and the greens in the salsa. Very original and very excellent.

In the evening, we went to the last Symphony On The Green performance of the year. We have enjoyed this weekly event since we've been here and will miss it. Hopefully it will return to the lawn next year. It is a great location with both an aweome skyline view and a great sunset view. Oh yeah, and there's really good music by really good musicians also.
