weekend fun

i know this is so late with the approaching weekend, but i want to do a recap from last weekend.  it was a good one.

after working a 15 hour day friday and a half-day saturday i made my way to the airport for my quick flight to missouri.  it didn't end up being quick in any form of the word, but i arrived.  i just don't seem to have luck flying lately.  i told my grandma the story and she even commented on how it seems to be a trend lately (for me).

we had all sorts of changes in our plans, but mom, dad, karen & i ended up at Winslow's Home, in U-City.  it's a farm-to-table restaurant so i was a big fan and i had a delicious Torta Rustica.  yum!

while i was looking up ideas of places to go in st. louis it was nice to see farm-to-table restaurants are taking on the scene.



sunday we checked out Duff's in Central West End, which took awhile to get our food, but was delicious.  we had a lovely walk around the neighborhood because it was too nice not to.

karen & i went to her bday cards game sunday night.  we stopped at joe buck's on the way and although we were left out of the promotion (because we're over 15) it was a great game.  craig pinch hit so i was happy to see him back with a cards uniform.

i felt pretty spoiled at the end of the trip because i picked everywhere we ate, took a bunch of goodies from mom and grandma home, enjoyed a lovely cardinals game.  and then i felt bad because the weekend was supposed to be about karen.  woops.  sorry.



coming up this weekend is the big air and water show at north beach.  they've been setting up since monday (i saw them unload the ketchup for one... whew... that was a lot of ketchup).  i started hearing practicing last night and today during my lunch i went outside and got a little pre-show.  but those planes breaking the sound barrier make it difficult to concentrate on my book...

and the cards take on the cubs here at wrigley field.

tonight i kicked off the weekend at adler after dark.  i only stayed long enough to fulfill my food duties and take a couple runs across oobleck like this
except adults instead of kids
you can see some of my co-workers setting it up here
i did ok
not great
but ok

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
