We are in our third home. We have been to Houston four times in the last 10 months. We decided to do something fun between visits to the doc. Here are some photos of our guided walking tour of the downtown Houston food scene.

Me: “what did you think?”
Karen: “Best mexican food ever.”
Included in our 4 mole sampler was a little caviar of ant larvae
Escamoles ‘ant’ and molli ‘puree’ known colloquially as Mexican caviar or insect caviar, are the edible larvae and pupae of ants of the species Liometopum
So good…
And I discovered, along with a few pounds and larger waistline, one of my favorite poems etched on a sidewalk!
Cheers!
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean —
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down —
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Bespoke 
WOW. The food is so unique, as is your favorite poem. Karen is smiling so adoringly. Love you both.
