+ I wish I could say the sushi I had for lunch yesterday was good, but it wasn’t. That’s what happens when you buy at the grocery store (but it was Kowalskis!).
+ I am finally finished with my paper. It’s due today, and although I think it could be better, I am satisfied with it.
+ Mike’s mom seems to be doing better than last week. Happy to hear that. And thanks everyone for the kind words. We really appreciate it.
+ The grand opening for the new Crate&Barrel is tomorrow, so we’ll be there for sure. I’ve already seen most of their stuff on their website & catalogs, but it’s something different when you see in person. I am seriously thinking about getting a very pt job there just to get the employee discount.
+ Last week, met up Maysee at True Thai on E Franklin and she treated us to their lunch buffet. Although they didn’t have any curry, their chicken wings were really good, and I especially liked their rice noodle stir fry with broccoli. I absolutely love Lao/Thai food so much more than Chinese.
+ Had breakfast with Mitsy yesterday at the Sunnyside Up Cafe on Lyndale. Mitsy recommended their Santa Fe French toast, so that’s what I had. They coat the French toast with some sort of crumbly, corn flake-like bits, so it has a lovely crusty texture when you bite into it.
+ Since I won’t have class for another 2 weeks, I am using my free time to plan Max’s 3rd birthday party. This year I decided to not throw a big party. It’ll just be our families, and a couple of very close friends. And no $100 cake this time either. A lot less stress & planning, so it’ll be a nice.
what a lovely photo!! good news about your MIL :)
have fun at the C&B opening! we have so many stores out here, but i hardly ever go.
Oh Minna, you’re so sweet. Here, let me give you a cyber *hug*. You totally understand the food/foodie thing and have inspired me to continue the path.
I was the one who contacted Hmong Times (they pretty much take in anyone who has a pulse to write a story so long as it’s newsworthy but thankfully they were open to the idea of an ongoing column), so let’s see where this thing goes.
…Lol, I always tell myself never to buy grocery store sushi, but once in a while I give in. Take Care =)
oh, i hope you enjoy CnB! i love the CnB tidbits, somtimes its overwhelming. good luck on max’s bday plans!
i can’t believe Max is going to be 3 already :-). Glad to hear your MIL is doing better.
We’re planning to keep it low key also this year for Roan’s b-day, which is sad, because he so loves birthday parties.
I do that too, get the grocery store sushi, even though I know it’s going to not be so good, just for the convenience.
P.S. At least the picture looks good! :)
