First SeaSalt of the Season

Spring was in the air. The sun was shining and the air was only a bit cool…so we decided to head to Minnehaha Falls to eat at SeaSalt.
I love this place. It’s a complete package, with everything from a casual vibe to the freshest of seafood (from Coastal Seafoods, no less!). Located at the [...]

My Perfect Cup of Coffee

A weekend of total relaxation with gourmet dinners, hikes in the woods, reading a great book and sleeping in. All shared with perfect companionship.
While reflecting back on the weekend on the final morning, I drank this cup of coffee. Perfection.

Breakfast Greens

The topic of breakfast greens has been discussed a time or two among a certain group of my friends. This discussion is heavily centered around one question, “Breakfast greens: are they a do or are they a don’t?”

Sooooo, why am I writing about this again? I’ll tell you why. Kyle and I went for a late dinner tonight and decided that [...]

Gardens of Salonica

I met some girlfriends at Gardens of Salonica for a Saturday lunch a couple weeks ago. This was a recommendation from a friend of a friend and I have to admit that when I was told the destination for our lunch, I was perplexed. It’s not as though I think I’m familiar with all restaurants [...]

My Brother Tim

This is my brother Tim. It’s his birthday today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIM!

Wig and Pen - Iowa City, IA

This is a bold statement, but I’m a bold kind of person…I believe there is no pizza better than the Flying Tomato at the Wig and Pen in Iowa City, IA.
Last weekend took Kyle and I to our alma mater, the University of Iowa. When in school, we could not get enough Wig and Pen [...]

New Camera High

I finally did it…after months of longing to make the plunge, I bought my new camera. Thanks to Aaron for your suggestion, I did buy the camera you suggested and I love it!
To try it out, I took pictures of what I thought would be the last snowfall in Minneapolis of the season. [...]
