Women Operate The Cities: Business Office I

Last weekend I went to watch a swain blogger, Lisa, who lives inwards Minneapolis. We had a neat fourth dimension walking only about the city, over the bridges, dorsum over the bridges, nether the bridges, over the river together with through the woods.

I knew I would similar Lisa (as if I had had whatever doubts) when she asked if I wanted an apple. When I said yes, she said, "let me catch the apple tree slicer". I was thinking, "Apple slicer? Isn't that called a KNIFE?" (this daughter is batty, people) And then.... VOILA!

Awesome. The daughter has gadgets. Everyone needs i of these! 

P.S. This is a Honeycrisp apple, which is native to MN. 

 Lisa, who had a fighting of a cold, was withal an awesome host. She took me all over the city. First nosotros went to the Guthrie for a sentiment of the Stone Arch Bridge. Good name, huh? I gauge somebody only called it similar they saw it!

Here nosotros are. Yes nosotros coloring coordinated on purpose! If y'all ever demand person who knows how to position the self timer on the photographic tv set camera together with larn a photograph of practically nothing, I am your man. The rock arch pair is somewhere behind that bannister.

We went to the farmers market, where they had lots of fun veggies. We also got to encounter a cooking demonstration spell sitting inwards the Sun (it was a chilly 44ish when nosotros were outside) drinking coffee. Now THAT is my sort of day.

I had to larn a scone from the best house inwards MN to purchase pastries. This was what Lisa said many people had told her, but she didn't know firsthand, since she can't induce got gluten. Yum! I could induce got had i of each of these pastries!

And together with then nosotros went together with bought some bratwurst for luncheon from Kramarczuk's.  We picked a jalapeno together with cheese brat together with a wild rice (MN specialty) brat. We cooked those upwardly together with served them amongst a salad together with rosemary potatoes. Lisa made certain I didn't larn hungry spell staying amongst her.

I wanted to produce this, which is to ride only about the metropolis drinking together with pedaling. But nosotros had other things to do. 

Like...take a walk adjacent to the river. 

And swallow Gelato.

We also spent fourth dimension walking over the Stone Arch Bridge, taking photos, walking only about downtown, drinking coffee, eating guacamole together with browsing the bookstore. 

So yes, equally y'all tin see, nosotros did the things I honey most: walking, taking inwards the sights and, most importantly... EATING. Lisa must induce got named some other one-half dozen restaurants that I volition demand to larn to adjacent fourth dimension I come upwardly to visit. But in that place is ever likewise piffling fourth dimension together with likewise much to do!

Lisa was a neat host together with nosotros had a neat time. Now I'm trying to convince her (and anyone else who wants) to come upwardly to San Francisco therefore I tin supply the favor. It certain is fun going to watch people together with it's overnice to induce got a local to exhibit y'all around! 

I wasn't only in that place to materials my aspect upwardly though. Tune inwards on Fri when I verbalize well-nigh the 10 mile race that nosotros ran on Sunday!
