I've wanted to eat at the St. Paul landmark, Mickey's Diner, since 1988, before I ever moved to Minnesota. Today was my lucky day.
The kids and I sat at the counter and had a complete diner experience. I had a very nice Mulligan Stew and they had pancakes in the shape of a well known mouse with agressive trademark lawyers.
Food & Drink: April 2006 Archives
At lunch I heard about a service where you can upload a photo and have the photo printed onto a glossy post card and mailed directly to the address of your choosing. That rawks! I wish I had known about that when I was at Disney World. They will even print and mail one for free. Checkout postCards from the post office, via amazing mail.
If I didn't even know what the post office was doing, maybe there were other things you could do with a picture that I don't know about -- help me google. I then found Photo Cupcakes -- hey, that's cool too!
Hmm, cupcakes, I like cupcakes -- this led me to a blog full of cupcake recipes, which led me to 52 Cupcakes, where there is a new cupcake recipe posted every week.
That is where I found the recipe for Magnolia Bakery Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
I didn't sneak into the women's room to snap this photo.
Nope, it's a unisex hand washing area outside the restrom proper - thanks Chino Latino, it was a first for us.
What do you get when you add a dark restaurant and a menu that was painstakingly created to resemble something beaten out of a typewriter that fell off a donkey in darkest Peru -- Chino Latino!
The food was very good, if you can do fusion food like a sushi salmon roll with roasted corn salso on top.
The menu was annoying to read, but the food was fun to eat. I'll be back, hopefully with more people, so I can try more things.
Sebastian Joe's has awesome ice-cream, coffee and wi-fi -- why don't I stop there more often?
I made hummus at home this weekend. I cannot believe how trivial it was to make, I don't think I will be buying hummus at the store any more. I started with this recipe on Epicurious. Now that I've made it once, I can see how I could improve this and tweak it -- adding more garlic for instance.
