Satisfied my craving at lunch.

Fried Eggplant
Local eggplant from the farmers market is the best at this time of year. I first microwaved slices (8 minutes at 60% in our oven). For breading, I use Japanese panko crumbs. Simple food, served with a dollop of yogurt with mint.
Wednesday Lunch Tradition
My Wednesday lunch tradition at the Minneapolis American Indian Center after a morning of tutoring: bison melt on wild rice bread that’s baked in-house. The salad has a light, citrusy dressing.
Convenient Ice Cream
It’s a little too convenient living one block from an excellent ice cream store. “Existential Crunch” (dark brown sugar, Jameson whiskey, creme fraiche, praline pecan, and cashew brittle) topped with a small scoop of “Umeshu Chocolate” (dark chocolate and Japanese plum wine).
Local Splurge-Eats
Bacon brats from the farmers market for dinner. Ice cream from Izzy’s later. Local splurge-eats.
Minnehaha Scoop
Cooled off at an ice cream shop I’d never noticed before in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Breakfast with a View
Stopped for breakfast beside Lake Harriet.
Ramen During a Storm
The video screen showed stunning rainfall on the island of Kyushu, southern Japan, a place I love, while I quietly slurped ramen.
After-Dinner Jumps and Spins
Immediately after a most satisfying seafood dinner, the boys did jumps and spins on trampolines. Meanwhile, we watched while finishing our drinks in the restaurant.
Bimbo
Our nephews enjoy this for breakfast, white bread with no crust. The product name hurts my eyes.
