New on the Houston artisan foods market is Pola, a local cheesemaker. While most ‘local’ cheeses are from Texas hill country, Pola Artisan Cheeses are made right here in Houston with milk procured from small dairy farmers in the area. Pola produces a wide range of cheeses using old world methods. Varieties include both raw and pasteurized goat and cow milk cheeses.

Hello everyone and welcome back to H-Town Rock Interviews. This week, we have the pleasure of interviewing Tambersauro, a three-piece art-prog band that just happens to call Houston, TX home.

However, since H-Town Rock is all about the music in our fair city, it would be remiss of us to not discuss all of the excellent music we partook of on Saturday. And please, if any of you would like to share your favorite music from the event, do so down in the comment section. Just because we didn’t see it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!

Houstonist took it on the chin with another late night out on the town. Don't ask. What happens out there stays out there. We missed our alarm. We showed up late for work. The office coffee pot was broken so we headed to Starbucks to get a jump start. Our caffeinated bliss was tainted after we learned about the nine cent price increase that is now in effect. While we agree with Lewis Black...
