Texas Book Festival

This past weekend I went to the Texas Book Festival with Babs & Devi. We had an awesome time. "I would totally go back next year and next time I want to take a picnic to eat on the capitol grounds," said Devi.  There were tons of book vendors, a Central Market food tent, and live music. Barbara bought four books for $20 and I made this wonderful list below of books I would like to get from the library over break. Have y'all read any of these? Or have you ever been to the festival? Let me know below-xoxo darling, Hayden.

So surprise, surprise, this does not in fact have chicken in it. I was eating, wondering if it was all at the bottom, and low and behold it does not contain the yard bird. Now it was okay, because I was starving at that point and the "chicken rice" was sustenance. I am not sure if it a real chicken taste, but it was pretty good. There is not enough of this to make it a whole meal, I had to have two sides to make myself full, but it is an interesting thing if you are on the go. 

Chanel

Chanel just came out with a new movie directed by Baz Luhrmann. It features Gisele Bundchen surfing, driving an old car, crying, and so much more. But mainly it is beautiful. Plus I am now obsessed with the song {see below}. Now that I have seen that I have done some serious research and am now a huge fan of Karl Lagerfeld's cinematography {there are only a few things I like about him}. All of the movies are wonderful, and I would highly suggest you take some time and watch them below. 

Week Re-Cap

I had such an awesome week with some awesome people! On Thursday I attended Devi's family's Diwali celebration. I was able to help prepare some of the delicious food and then ate, possibly more than my weight, in Indian food. A special thanks goes out to the Jadejas for having me in their beautiful home and treating me to a special dinner {also, thank you for the onesie!}. Friday Devi and I redid our cork board and we had a movie night with Babs in which we watched Bend It Like Beckham a favorite of Devi and I's. Saturday was one of the best days I have had in a while, we all went to the Texas Book Festival {a post is coming later} and then Babs and I went to SoCo and looked around {posts coming later}. We had so much fun discovering new places to eat and it was very relaxing. Sunday I laid around, caught up on magazines I had fallen behind on and watched Chanel films {post coming later}. Other than that I have been drinking a lot of coffee and doing a lot of studying. Hopefully this weekend will be one for the books: Halloween parties, Franklin BBQ, UT football, and Longhorn Halloween. Let's do this-xoxo darling, Hayden.

If you have not seen this video, then clearly you have not been stalking someone on Facebook. It has gone viral and I think it is so funny. It gets the message across in one of the best manners possible, humor. Devi & I want to buy the t-shirts because we are all about the cause. Check it out here, it talks about super important feminist facts-xoxo darling, Hayden.

Pineapples:

As I was making this, my mouth was watering {and so was Devi's}. It smelled so good! The sauce is a little strange looking and a little sweet for my taste, but if you mix up the vegetables, rice, and chicken it turns out pretty yummy. The vegetables were relatively fresh, the rice was a little dry, but it was good! I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, however, make sure you bring a snack after you eat this because in about 1.5/2 hours you will be hungry again.
