The ice cream maker I mentioned here is back in my possession and was immediately put to work. On Sunday afternoon, the Red Head and I whipped up a huge batch of chocolate ice cream, paired it with Oreos and clinked spoons to a successful meal (yes, we ate it for dinner). My ice cream [...]

The Red Head and I found a friend at Goodwill this weekend. A little, gold, goose friend that we named Ralphie. I was leaning towards the name Jeremy, for some reason, but Ralphie prevailed. We also snagged this kitchen display dessert stand thing, that’s the official name. It’s not very tall so perhaps it will [...]

In a stark contrast from last week, the past five days have fluttered right by and I’m so glad it’s the weekend. We’ve got about 24 hours until 20+ of our friends head on over for a holiday soiree. I’m putting on my hostess hat (and my new dress!) and doing my best to crank [...]

For the last four weekends I’ve been sleeping in hotels, hostels, houseboats and couches so this weekend I plan to set up camp in my bed. Any motivation I had for venturing out of the comfort of my blankets and pillows was shot once I heard the forecast of snow this weekend. Welcome to Minnesota! [...]

Guys, I am diving into this weekend headfirst. It’s going to be non-stop productivity. I has to be.

The tour started in Saint Anthony Main where we were greeted by the first Minneapolis Slut Walk, an attraction that [...]

Tonight I’m taking some time away from the computer to catch a show called Cavaila. I’ve seen the big white tents being erected since I got here to Minnesota and I’m anxious to finally see what they hold. All I know about the show is that it’s a hybrid of Cirque du Soleil that uses [...]

Cheers to the weekend, friends! It’s shaping up to be a good one with the Iowa vs. Iowa State game tomorrow and a bunch of other odds and ends scattered throughout. To top it off, the skies are perfectly clear and the temperatures are making one last climb. So rather than sitting here I’m off [...]

Yesterday marked the end of the Minnesota State Fair, also known as the Great Minnesota Get-Together. It was 12 days of food, rides, games, more food and tons of expos. On Sunday I gathered up some friends, some locals and some out-of-towners, to help me with my first visit to a State Fair. We muscled [...]
