Safety First!


McGee has a new accessory...he finally has a seat belt for the car. He doesn't seem to hate it, which is a plus. Here is him riding to Wisconsin in the car.

What a cute little face!!

Pine Chalet


Matt and I finally got away from the city for a short vacation. Last weekend we stayed at a log cabin called the Pine Chalet in Wisconsin. We go there every February with our friends Chad and Susan. This year they brought their dogs, Jack & Jill, and we brought our dog, McGee.

We introduced Chad and Susan to our Valentine's Day tradition of basing our meals around a different country every year. This year...Thailand. We attempted to create Thai meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast and lunch were more fusion than true Thai meals. We shared parfaits for breakfast with fruits native to Thailand. For lunch we made fusion Thai Tacos. Dinner was the main event with Thai Green Curry Shrimp & Scallops over Noodles, Thai Stir Fried Vegetables, and Thai Coconut Tapioca Pudding with Cayenne-Spiced Mango.

It was nice enough this year to actually take a couple walks outside. We are planning on going back this August for another mini-vacation.

"Just Give us the F-ing Point"

Ahh leave it to foodie night for some laughs. Last night we went to The Chatterbox Pub's new location in Linden Hills. Nine of us crammed into a corner of the restaurant.

Overall the food was mediocre...but that was not the focus of the night. We played an INTENSE game of Scattergories. There were many heated arguments/debates...I'll let you be the judge on some of these topics.

1) Who is a hero...Eragon or Aragon?
2) Would you purchase Envelopes as a souvinier?
3) Is an Eel black or silver?
4) Is "the Eel" a dance?
5) Is Egg Beaters a dairy product?
6) Part 1 - Is Jarring a word?
6) Part 2 - If yes, don't you mean canning?
6) Part 3 - Finally, is Jarring/Canning a chore or a hobby?
7) Are Jumper Cables considered a weapon?
8) Could Etheopia be considered a tropical location?
9) Is Elephant Man in the Guinness Book of World Records

Oh and by the way...thanks for giving us the point on Exercycle for a vehicle, which is actually a stationary bike.

See you next month!
