365- Saturday April 14

We had some leftover carrots, so I thought I would make some healthy (ummmm yeah) carrot cake out of it. This was my first endeavor into cakes for a while.


I guess I should have let the pan cool before I attempted to extract the cake. Oops.

Later that night my friend A and I had a little girls night out. We headed to the new Restaurant Miami in Uptown. The place was a sea of neon and blasting 80s music. The vibe was fun. Here is A in the "VIP" section we were seated in.


Love the cheesy background.

365 Friday April 13th

DJ and I headed out to the Bulldog Bar and Restaurant in Northeast. Had a damn tasty burger.


DJ was annoyed with me because I was trying to get a pic in dim light and had to take about 20 of them in order to get one that wasn't blurry.

Goodtimes.

365 Thrusday April 12th

Woke up this morning, looked out the window and saw that rabbits had attacked our yard overnight. Their little paw prints were everywhere.


Later that evening, made a turkey tetrazzini. It ended up being pretty tasty.


Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog.

365 Wednesday April 11th

Snow. On April 11th. Fun times


That is my little daffodil. Poor daffodil was confused with the 80 degree weather. Like the rest of us she popped her face to the sun, ready to greet the spring.

Sorry little daffodil, mother nature decided to dump a bunch of snow on you. I agree...it sucks.

In better news, DJ and I attended the Twins game this evening:



Great game! They beat the Yankees 5-1.

Something a little fun

365 Sunday April 8th

DJ and I had his Dad and non-girlfriend over for a deep fried turkey in honor of the holiday. I made some tasty deviled eggs (thanks Tina!).


DJ did a great job with the massacre of the turkey


Hope you all had a great Easter.

365 Friday April 6th

We had bookclub on Friday night. We read Jule and Julia by Julie Powell. The idea was to prepare a French dish in honor of the book.

I made a chocolate terrine.


It was rich, but quite tasty.

Later that evening we headed to the Kitty Kat Club for some acoustic music by Brian Larson.


It was a good set. I snagged a free CD out of the deal also.

365 Tuesday April 3rd

DJ and I attended the Timberwolves game:


They played Cleveland and basically sucked. They were trailing by 20 points by the end of the 3rd period.

Overall a pretty boring game.

365 Monday April 2nd, aka, oops I have slipped off the wagon

First thing. I completely slipped off the 365 wagon and neglected to take pictures over the past couple of weeks.

Why? I really don't know. I think I have been in a kind of funk lately. I haven't been in the mood to do anything.

You know that feeling like you have been just going through your days, just performing the motions? That's how I have felt. This isn't unusual and hits at the end of the winter season. It's when I know I've had it. I am completely over the snow and cold.

We had some taunting of spring over the past few weeks, but this week it's cold and cloudy again. ARGH.

Only a few short weeks until spring. I can hold out until then. This is my last winter here after all.

In the meantime, I am resolved again to work on 365. Here is my sorry pic for being so negligent.

365 Thursday March 22nd

My co-worker K, dropped his computer down a stairwell.


Check out the right side of his screen.

You think he fucked it up?

Sad thing it, he hasn't reported it broken yet. He's afraid that they will either charge him for it, or he won't get a replacement for a while and have to go without a computer.

He's been working with it like that for over a week now.

Kinda funny.

365 Wednesday March 21st

A completely uninspired, boring pic as I was driving home that evening.

365 Sunday March 18th

DJ and I visited the Mill City Museum. This is the view of the Mississippi from the top floor.


Kinda cool.

If you have never been, the Mill City is a worthwhile visit. There are walking paths down by the river so you can see the old ruins as well.

365 Saturday March 17th

It was a great day outside so I took a walk around Lake Calhoun


That is the city, viewed from the southeast corner of the lake. I love walking the lake and miss it in the wintertime.

It was starting to look like spring.

365-Thursday March 15

I made a lovely curry fried rice. It was spicy, but tasty.


Sorry for the blurry pic
