The [written] word is out! The 2nd Annual Literary Libations Week returns August 14-18 to a number of our favorite watering holes across Texas! Each spot that participates will craft a specialty cocktail inspired by classic literary works, or new novels they love. We have recipes representing Austin, Houston and San Antonio!

| Blackberry Buttermilk Cake |
You'll taste subtle accents from abroad in Chef Greg Martin's Blackberry Buttermilk Cake, available now on the dessert menu at Bistro Menil. Its miniature size is an homage to the French financier (a small, rectangular almond cake) baked with fresh blackberries and topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream! |
| A Night of Parisian Revelry! |
The San Antonio Public Library Foundation hosts a really cool fall fundraiser - now in its 7th year - Nuit Blanche Saint Antoine, or "A Night of Parisian Revelry" at the Landa Library gardens. Don all-white attire for this posh picnic on Thursday, September 21. Seating IS limited -- and always sells out! Get your table or tickets now!

Next Tuesday, August 15, help celebrate a happy 105 years of Julia Child with birthday specials all day at Bistro Provence! They'll be offering a few of her favorite French dishes, among them -- Vichyssoise (cold potato-leek soup) and Coq au vin (chicken braised with wine), the latter of which is shown above!
