Troy and I had an awesome day of surprises that I arranged. We began the day with a Farmer's Market Tour with Supatra from Sawatdee, then we had a cooking class with her at the restaurant with our fresh newly purchased produce. I would really suggest taking a class with her if you like Thai food. We made catfish with bitter melon and red coconut curry, lettuce wraps with scallops, beef, and shrimp that we cooked ourselves on the griddle, tamarind sauce, and ate some tapioca pearls with sweet corn and coconut milk. We also learned a lot, and I drank two thai coffees. I love thai coffee!
After that we went to Sponsel's Apple Orchard in Jordan, MN. There we rode a hay wagon to apple trees, picked apples, and discovered the U of M bred apple, MN 1606. It's the best, and I've been eating lots of them lately. They are really firm and tangy.
Then...we went to Margarita's Pizza in Oakdale and had sun-dried tomato pizza with artichokes, cheese bread, and fried ice cream on a double date with some of our friends. Following the meal we saw the movie Wimbledon. It was funny, and sweet, and had suspenseful tennis match scenes. I'd recommend it.
I have also been knitting a lot on Troy's sweater. His b-day's coming up so I am very motivated to keep working. Plus it's fun to see the different colors of the stripes knit. Tonight I get to work on it at Stitch n' Bitch. Speaking of which, their new book "Stitch n' Bitch Nation" is coming out in October. I pre-ordered it at Bound to be Read and hope it comes out soon!
Last night was class, and I've been slow in blogging as of late since I was writing a paper from last month's long weekend class, Psychodyanmics of Psychopathology part I, from an Adlerian perspective. Whew. Is it nice to be done with my paper of the month- for now. Until the next two are due for this class.
