The Smithsonian Folklife Festival started yesterday down on the Mall and runs this weekend and next weekend. This year's themes are Bhutan, NASA (NASA has a folklife?) and TEXAS, the Best State Ever. This means lots of dancing to music played by guys in Stetsons and boots, samples of Texas wine (yes, there is such a thing), and best of all, FOOD

It's hard to get good Tex-Mex outside of, well, Texas.

ZOMG KOLACHE!!!!! I haven't had them in ages. My very first job was working in the deli/bakery of a grocery store in Wisconsin, and they had kolaches. I was HOOKED. Deeee-lish. I only ever had the fruit ones, tho...I'm imagining bacon kolache now and drooling.

I think the meat ones are the Texanized version of the original. I'm pretty sure the sausage-jalapeno kind didn't come over from the Old Country.

Its hard for me to imagine a world with no kolaches. Theres like 4 kolache shops around the corner from my apartment.

Treasure them. Take the time to appreciate your pastries. Because you will miss them when they are gone.

Yay! Exciting!
Also, we can go on Sunday with your friendly friend because I can get a ride back to camp with another guy later in the day.
