It just occurred to me that we began daylight savings time today. No wonder I’m tired!
The weekend brought about excellent opportunities to get out and visit unique places in Minneapolis.
First, the new sushi bar Seven, located one floor above R. Norman’s (a newly opened, high-end restaurant focused on great steak). In the time we sat [...]

There’s 1,000 calories I no longer have to burn out of my system any more. Seems Krispy Kreme donuts pulled out of Minnesota. First, the store in the famed Mall of America was shuttered. Next came the Eden Prairie location. Those both closed in 2007.
Then, suddenly, the first location to ever open in Minnesota was [...]

I had dinner at Ike’s in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday night. Good conversation, good beer and a fantastic plate of garlic mashed potatoes and fish kabobs including white fish and shrimp. Very good indeed.
While Ike’s just opened a scant five years ago, it feels like it’s been in town since forever. The bar is legendary, [...]

Not long ago, a lawmaker in the great State of Mississippi, decided in all his wisdom that the best way to fight obesity in the state would be to give restaurants the ability to decline service to patrons who were, in fact, clearly obese. The story appeared in USA Today on Feb. 5. Clearly, the [...]

The kids and I will celebrate Christmas on Sunday (they’ll be with their mom and her family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). By special request, we will dessert on apple pie.
Looks good, yes?

Here at the office, there are many meetings and many conference rooms. These meetings frequently start as early as 7 a.m. and may last all day. Meeting coordinators will pre-order breakfast and lunch to be delivered to the conference room. This way, the only reason attendees need to leave the meeting is to use [...]

In my bank of childhood memories, the Thanksgiving holiday stands out big time. My very-middle-class roots found me living in a five-bedroom house - we had a formal dining room, a front entry that seemed gynormous, and lots of space to entertain. With grandparents living just three houses away and a Dad who owned a [...]

Who on the planet pulled a parsnip from the ground and thought, “Hmm. This looks good. Let’s eat!”?
Perhaps one of the ugliest of all root vegetables, parsnips are downright unappealing as a potential food item. No wonder all recommendations are to cube these suckers into small bits and cook them to death!
While they [...]

Today was the last day of the Great Minnesota Get Together. My son and I ventured out to the fair for a few hours. You can view the photographic results here…
Since part of my last name is included in this sign from a Midway exhibit at the state fair, I was compelled to include it. [...]

The Great Minnesota Get Together starts on Thursday and runs through Sept. 3. This year I’ll find myself at the fair. Last time I strolled the Fairgrounds along Snelling Avenue in St. Paul was 2005 and my head wasn’t in the game, so to speak. I’ve always liked a good fair. The sights and sounds [...]
