So apparently it's my day today! Ask away!

If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be? Why?

Oh man, that's so hard! I very easily get caught up in learning more about different historical figures. I'm all over the place. One week it's Houdini, the next it's Shakespeare, then I'm on to Roman emperors or some of the great classical composers.

I think, right this second, I would say Shakespeare. I would love to pick his brain about his writing process, how he came up with so many turns of phrase that we use today, seeing his plays performed. So much to learn from him!

What is the strangest food combination/meal you've ever had?

What's your dream car?

I'm so picky about my food, so I really don't eat any strange combinations. Well, okay, on the rare occasions that I go to Sonic/Whataburger/Dairy Queen (can you tell that I'm a Texas girl??), and I'm eating something that comes with gravy like chicken strips, I always use both ketchup and gravy. Dip in the ketchup, dip in the gravy, eat. My dad always did that, so I started doing it, too, when I was young.

My dream car right this second is either a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Nissan Pathfinder. But my ultimate dream car would probably be... hmm... I love the Audi TT, so probably that.

That's mine too!

What's your favorite breakfast food?

We live in the same town and both love Longhorns, books, wine, and our dogs - how come I don't know you IRL?

Seriously important question time - what is your top choice for the best Mexican food in town? Do you belong north of the river or south? Do you like to drink on the east side or Rainey?

Also, what is the best thing you've read lately?

All excellent questions! Austin G2G FTW!

Best Mexican food in town depends on what you're looking for. Fajitas? Go to Lupe Tortilla. Breakfast tacos? I'm a sucker for Casa Garcia's tortillas. The Texican is near and dear to my heart because my family has been going there since it opened. I also love many hole-in-the-wall places. Now I must know your go-to places!

My heart is in south Austin, since that's where I was born and raised. But now I live north, and it's been a huge adjustment.

I prefer to drink wine in the comfort of my own home in my PJs

Girl on the Train was pretty dang good. I'm in the middle of The Book Thief -- also really good.

Breakfast. Tacos.

Also, waffles. Never together in one meal, though.

Wait what?!? I keep forgetting these aren't a thing elsewhere. bluebird44, help!

So basically a typica breakfast taco has eggs and/or breakfast potatoes mixed with a breakfast meat like bacon or sausage. Top that with cheese and wrap in a warm, freshly made tortilla, and voila! You have a breakfast taco! You can put lots of other things in them, too, but bacon or sausage, egg, and cheese is pretty standard.

Trust me. Introduce yourself to these. You won't regret it.

Yes!  We need an Austin GTG.  I'm jealous of all the others being planned right now.

I love the fish fajitas at Polvo's, and I agree with you about Lupe Tortilla too.  I also eat at Maudie's a lot, and Curra's is good too, especially for breakfast.

South Austin 4 lyfe!

Loved The Book Thief, and I will add Girl on the Train to my list.  Thanks! 

Let's get this planned ASAP!

That sounds amazing. Breakfast and tacos are two of my favorite things. I'm definitely giving it a try!

We definitely don't have those in PA!

The top one is the Migas taco from Torchy's, and the bottom is the bacon egg and cheese from El Tacorrido, which is a little drive through place at South 1st and Oltorf.  Best tacos ever from that little place.  OMG, I want one now.  Sorry to derail your AMA with all the breakfast tacos!

Really? Puh-lease, the tacos just make it amazing.

Also, I will need to try out El Tacorrido. I do love me some Torchy's.

#sorrynotsorry is my go-to because that's usually how I feel!

I relate to Hermione the most, probably. But I have always loved Sirius. I know he's just a big kid who never turned into an adult. But he really loves Harry, and he's the connection to his family that he needed in the middle of the series. I love love love Sirius.
