Breakfast Sandwich with a View
Cycled over to Lake Harriet for a breakfast sandwich with a view at Bread and Pickle.
Not Norwegian Food
With Dwight in Fargo, visiting his mom, eating Norwegian food, I continued my ramen journey. Zen Box Izakaya, near our home, does a fine tonkotsu ramen, but they only serve al fresco for now. It was magic to select an Asahi draft on my phone, and for it to appear a minute later.
Grateful for a Restaurant Lunch
I no longer take for granted being able walk into a restaurant and order a ramen bowl. Grateful for lunch at moto-i.
Gorp
Stocked up on gorp ingredients to fuel upcoming hikes: cashews, granola, pistachios, Asian rice crackers, sesame sticks, wasabi peas, generic M&M’s, raisins, and dried pineapple.
Beer and Bar Food
Beer and bar food for dinner at Longfellow’s. Life’s good.
Carma Coffee
Pit stop, Carma Coffee.
Mushy Peas
Picked up ethnic foods at Lands End Pasty Company in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis: Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, and, drum roll please, a can of mushy peas. Takes me back to my childhood.
Taro
Spotted taro in an Asian market, but I’ll not be adding it to my repertoire. Traditionally, it’s boiled then mashed to form poi, a purple, viscous liquid. I’ve tried poi a couple times in Hawaii, and found it bland with the texture of wallpaper paste.
European Food Tour
Walked to a store that’s been in business for almost seventy years to load my backpack with locally made, multicultural goodies: pierogi (Poland), lefse (Norway), and bangers (UK/Ireland).
