And I so 'cited! Woo-hoo!

She arrives tomorrow and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be busy,
busy, busy! I have Nancy's Hungarian Short Ribs made, defatted best I
could, and in the fridge. I've chicken for Eva Kende's Chicken Paprika.
I may make that tomorrow morning for Friday's evening meal.

I think we'll visit our country place west of the cities and see how
autumn approaches there; I'm betting the mum gardens will be loookin'
good. We'll hit the Minneapolis Farmers Market on Saturday morning.
Friday may be our foray to St. Paul. I'm thinking that Thursday will
be The Schaller Tour of Minneapolis day ‹ gotta figure out how to get to
the Walker Art Center sculpture garden for a good look at the Standing
Glass Fish and the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. A stop at Northland Native
American Products for wild rice, maybe a cuppa at Kramarczuk's or
somewhere else on East Hennepin. Trader Joe's is a must do.

We'll hook up with a couple folks for dinner at Shuang Cheng in
Dinkytown on Saturday. Their seafood is reputed to be excellent.

We're gonna have us a good time!

We did not go for grapes. I thought about it and decided that if we did
and found some I'd then be obligated to do something with them and
IBePooped.

Yesterday we tripped around Mpls a bit and endeared ourselves to TJ.
Today we went to Stillwater (about 45 minutes from here; east of St.
Paul on the St. Croix River border between MN & WI. Had entirely too
much fun in the Chef's Gallery (http://thechefsgallery.com/), a couple
antique shops (I bought four TaB glasses -- woo-woo!!), and lunch at
Marx Wine Bar & Grill (http://www.marxwbg.com/index.php) where we had
miserable table service and some pretty tasty eats. We shared a white
pizza and a very interesting dish of linguine with roasted pork
tenderloin in coconut milk sauce with ginger, tomato, cilantro, and
cumin. Gloria's going to figure out how to recreate it in her kitchen.
Then she's going to tell me. :-)

On the way home we stopped at Wuollet's on Grand Ave in St. Paul for
three pieces of Princess Torte for dessert (yikes! they were $4.35
each) ‹ Gloria had never tasted it.

Dinner at home was a simple green bean soup (I've posted it here a few
times) with a baguette from Wuollet's and some cheese (mushroom brie
from TJ).

Tomorrow at half past oh-dark-omigod we're going to the Minneapolis
Farmers Market. If I time this well, we'll hit Kramarczuk's on the way
home and maybe Al's for breakfast, too.

It's really fun having Gloria visit.
