Here are some photos from inside the Capitol today. To give you an idea of my tastes at the Texas Book Festival , below is a list of the panels I attended throughout the day.

Wild Wild West
Drinks and a Movie
International Mystery
Tainted Love
Crime Noir
James Ellroy

There were tons of other discussions, music, food, books for sale, and anything else that belongs at a book festival. You should definitely check it out if you ever get the chance.

Texan Cafe

For lunch today, we headed over to the Texan Cafe in Hutto. My friends got chicken fried steaks and I got the chicken fried chicken with niblet corn, fried okra, and iced tea. As you can see from the menu board, this place is pretty Texas. But the best part is the pies – yes, the pies! What place do you know of that has a pie happy hour? The Texan Cafe has that. From a fully stocked pie case, I chose the Snickers Pie and it was totally yummy. We paid for our food, waddled out of the place and I was unsuccessful in getting a photo of my friends on top of the Hutto Hippo (the town mascot). Next time… 🙂
