look i am not saying every austin stereotype is true

but sometimes SOMETIMES

when a cashier asks you how you're doing and you respond "i'm fine, how are you?"

the answer is an unironic "alright, alright, alright"

Texas Wine Is Better Than Ever. Why Is It So Hard to Find? For some of the most exciting bottles in the state, you have to go directly to the source.

This Boozy Margarita Pie Is Almost as Good as an Ice-Cold Cocktail Perfect for a summer party, this recipe requires very little actual baking, and its tart, creamy filling will cool you down.

actually i also have this, which would be pretty easy to shape into more like a bar cookie
