Stupid things faster, with more energy

  • My pointless yammering

    • I'm at Matt's Bar (3500 Cedar Ave S, Twin Cities) w/ 2 others. http://bit.ly/1TeO0L 22 hours ago
    • Made dan dan noodles for dinner and Zoe's eating them. Pretty sure I wouldn't have liked them at her age. 3 days ago
    • Great Divide Hercules Double IPA, Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout and the new Prisoner. Not a bad way to spend an evening. 6 days ago
    • #minnebar Best Buy Remix seems like an interesting possibility, but I can't quite see it. Google App Engine session next 1 week ago
    • #minnebar Came in late to a session and am playing a rousing game of "what the heck are we talking about?" 1 week ago

A roundup of things

Posted by chrisgwinn on July 27, 2008

The big news in my world is that Zoe needs eye surgery. Ann summarized the details better than I would.  I was freaking out for much of Friday, but I think I’m good now.

Previous to that excitement, we had a great vacation trip to Bluefin Bay (up near Grand Marais).  Combine that with the trip Dad and I took to the Iola Old Car Show and you’ve got more time in the car than I’ve had in a long time.  Ann put some pictures up.  Food highlights – World’s Best Donuts in Grand Marais is surprisingly good, as is fresh Lake Trout.  We brought back some smoked Lake Superior whitefish and ate it in a salad with some fennel from the farm share.  Yum.

Zoe’s changed her mind on sichuan peppers and will now gladly snarf down dan-dan noodles from Tea House.  Which is good, since I ended up with some leftovers from the long-delayed four51 holiday party.
