Hailing from the Ozarks, Addie Broyles expanded her cooking (and eating) skills on the West Coast and Spain before settling in Austin, mainly for the aguas frescas at the taco stand down the street from her house where she, husband Ian and son Julian are now attempting to grow their own food in the backyard. They recently welcomed another baby boy and two chickens to the family.
Relishing food is about taking time to enjoy what has become the often hurried and mundane task of nourishing our bodies. Relish Austin is Addie's search for things that make her go "mmmm." High brow, low brow. Fast food, slow food. In Central Texas. On the Web. On the streets. In your garden and in your kids' lunch box. In your refrigerator and on your dinner table.
Relish Austin is also the name of Addie's print column that appears in the Austin American-Statesman a few times a month.

We’ve really lucked out with neighbors in our six years in Austin.
Kristen Skelly is one of them. She moved in our ‘hood last year when she had a baby belly as big as me. Her son was born just a few weeks after mine, and it’s been nice to have a fellow new mama nearby. We can get the kids together for some baby wrestling and fawning over how cute the other’s baby is. It’s what moms do. (Did I mention she’s a massage therapist, too? Everyone needs a neighbor with a massage table.)
Kristen used to work as a national park service employee and science teacher, and she just started Austin Outdoor Explorers, where she leads hands-on science adventures and nature walks for birthday parties, home-schoolers or just about any other group of curious youngsters who want to learn about the environment.
She’s always adding turtles, fish, snails and frogs to the cleanest aquariums I’ve ever seen and didn’t bat an eye when I asked if I could feature her fridge for today’s Fridge Friday.
What three things are always in your fridge? Diet Dr Pepper ( I refuse to drink Dr Pepper Ten [the company’s new low-calorie soda] because the ad campaign is so offensive to women), Swiss cheese and lettuce (spring mix)
What’s your favorite condiment? Gulden’s spicy mustard. I have three bottles of them on hand at any time.
What’s your go-to late night snack? Triscuits and Laughing Cow cheese.
