Cookie at Tiff's Treats

This is the best cookie you will ever put in your mouth. And even better--they deliver! You can always go by and pick up a couple at the store. You can even order them ahead and pick them up on your way to visit someone special. No matter how you get your hands on this cookie, I can honestly say I have never had one that was not warm. It is amazing. I don't know how they do it. The cookies are always perfectly cooked and warm. My pic is of the white chocolate chip and almond, but ALL the flavors are equally incredible. I like the oatmeal raisin best, my wife likes chocolate chip... snickerdoodles are good too... see what I mean? Order some of these soft, almost-gooey, warm gems and have them delivered tonight.

Screaming Orgasm at Tomo Sushi

4101 W Parmer Ln Ste E, Austin, TX, 78727
(512) 821-9472

If an orgasm screams in a strip-mall in North Austin with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound? The answer to this riddle is unequivocally yes!! This little mountain of tantalizingness is the perfect way to start out your meal at Tomo. As embyorg pointed out, the pleasure and the value are well worth your time and money. If you haven't been to Tomo, go now neophyte, unless it is a Sunday, because it is closed.

Mexican Torta at Zocalo

1110 W Lynn St, Austin, TX, 78703

I have to agree with both the Hamburgler and SilentMeow and disagree with Sam49cooks and Swayze. Being from Mexico I can safely say that Zocalo and this Torta are most definitely an interpretation on the original and not authentic. ...this is much like the Swedish inspired Ikea decor at Zocalo, which is far from Mexican. The corn tortillas are actually fantastic at Zocalo, but not exactly like the ones at home. I would give this Torta a 10 for effort, but since I am rating this dish based on my enjoyment I must give it a 6. I am not sure I would order the Torta again, but would definitely eat more of Zocalo's fine dishes. BTW, Sam49cooks, it is a bolillo, not a bolilla.
