Lakeline Ranch Reader - March 2012 1 Lakeline Ranch Reader St. Patrick’s Day FACTS • St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was born in Britain, around 385AD. His parents Calpurnius and Conchessa were Roman citizens living in either Scotland or Wales, according to different versions of his story. • As a boy of 14 he was captured and taken to Ireland where he spent six years in slavery herding sheep. He returned to Ireland in his 30s as a missionary among the Celtic pagans. • Legend has it that he used the native shamrock as a symbol of the holy trinity when preaching and brought the Latin alphabet to Ireland. • Miracles attributed to him include the driving of serpents out of Ireland. However, evidence suggests post-glacial Ireland never had any snakes in the first place. • Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer, is said to commemorate St Patrick’s use of the shamrock - although blue was the original colour of his vestments. • St Patrick was said to have proclaimed that everyone should have a drop of the “hard stuff” on his feast day after chastising an innkeeper who served a short measure of whiskey. In the custom known as “drowning the shamrock”, the shamrock that has been worn on a lapel or hat is put in the last drink of the evening. • Popular Irish toasts on St Patrick’s Day, include: may the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends beneath it never fall out. • St. Patrick’s Day was first celebrated in America in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. Around 34 million modern Americans claim Irish ancestry. • It is believed that St Patrick died on March 17 in 461AD. It is a national holiday in Ireland, and on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean, which was founded by Irish refugees. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland. • Dublin has a parade that attracts hundreds of thousands of people, while in Chicago the river is dyed green for a few hours. e biggest parade is normally held in New York, while the largest celebration in the southern hemisphere is in Sydney, Australia. Lakeline Ranch READER March 2012 NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LAKELINE RANCH Volume 4, Issue 3 Hello Lakeline Ranch, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for making LLR such a nice place to live. I notice that the neighborhood always looks clean and beautiful and this is in large part due to the care and pride we all have in our community. Normally crime is not an issue for us in LLR but the fact that we feel so secure can lead to lax attitudes about safety and security concerning our families, homes, and those of our neighbors. Please exercise awareness of what is going on in the neighborhood. Remind your children never to answer the door for a stranger. Note the things that you notice going on in the community that are out of the ordinary and if something seems amiss please call the police. We all have to watch out for each other. Spring will be here soon and I look forward to seeing families over at the pool enjoying themselves or folks out for a walk or bike ride. Be safe out there and thanks again for keeping Lakeline Ranch a great place to live! Happy St. Patrick's Day Lakeline Ranch!

Celebrated Chef Paul Petersen Combines Tradition with

Culinary Mastery at Vivo Lake Creek

As any Texan worth his boots knows, good Tex-Mex fare comes from the

heart, but great Tex-Mex is steeped in tradition. For years, restaurateur

Roger Diaz has been delighting Austinites with his family’s San Antonio-

style Tex-Mex recipes at his inspired Vivo restaurants. But it is the recent

addition of award-winning Executive Chef Paul Petersen that elevated Vivo

Lake Creek from a great Tex-Mex joint featuring the tastiest puffy tacos on

the planet, to a first-rate Tex-Mex gem offering dining experiences as

unique as the restaurant’s sultry and seductive lounge atmosphere.

Long known for his skill in elevating down-home Texas cuisine, Chef

Petersen’s refined culinary methods — combined with a whole lot of

barbecue mastery and some French-inspired panache — lend a sense of superb comfort-food style to the Vivo Lake Creek menu, building on

the restaurant’s already-successful Tex-Mex staples. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Petersen gained critical acclaim

while leading the kitchen at The Gage Hotel’s Café Cenizo in the West Texas desert town of Marathon. But it was his lifelong friendship with

the Diaz family, and a passion for creating new-fashioned Tex-Mex cuisine, that drove Chef Petersen to Vivo Lake Creek. Indeed, he credits

Diaz’s three generations of family cooks with inspiring him to get involved in the culinary world from a young age, and he fondly remembers

urging Diaz’s mother to reveal her family recipes.

“It makes so much sense for me to be at Vivo,” Chef Petersen says. “Roger’s family and I have been friendly my whole life, and he’s

developed a really successful Tex-Mex restaurant unlike anything else out there. Tex-Mex and Southwestern are in my blood, and by bringing

in some barbecue and French influences, we’re elevating the menu even more.”

In the months since Chef Petersen joined Vivo Lake Creek, diners have rekindled their

love affair with the Northwest Austin restaurant. And why not? Amid Vivo’s luxurious leather

booths, vibrant artwork and lush outdoor patio, Chef Petersen serves up new Vivo favorites

that have diners hankering for just one more bite. One of the chef’s favorite ingredients,

brisket, appears as menu specials in a number of iterations, such as mouthwatering slow-

cooked brisket tacos, and appears alongside menu delights like sweet and savory crab

enchiladas, delectable lobster sopapillas, braised pork belly and the occasional deep-fried

fajita chicken and waffles — an irresistible indulgence. Of course, Vivo staples like the

renowned puffy tacos, California nachos and an array of simply divine enchiladas covered in

Vivo’s signature sauces still anchor the menu, but even these Tex-Mex essentials pack more

eloquent flavor when created with the deft culinary skills of Chef Petersen.

Also an accomplished wine virtuoso, Chef Petersen has transformed the wine list at Vivo

Lake Creek into a commendable 40-bottle list comprised of unique selections from

throughout the world, many of which can only be found in Austin at this unexpected Tex-Mex

treasure. Appearing alongside an impressive array of tequilas, margaritas and signature

cocktails, the wine list is one more reason to raise a toast to Austin’s most unique Tex-Mex eatery where traditional family fare meets

passionate culinary finesse: Vivo Lake Creek.
