Get in the Belly!

By -
This past week was a week of REALLY GOOD FOOD!!!
I just got done reading, My Life in France by Julia Child... So right now I'm a little obsessed with food.
I went out to Senor Wong in St. Paul and had delightful morsels of Pollo al Pastor, Duck Bun Bao and Sweet Potato Fries.
The Duck Bun Bao reminded me of the Peking Duck I had while spending my summer in China 7 years ago. So very tasty!
Then the next night I went to my new favorite Thai restaurant, Sen Yai Sen Lek and OF COURSE I ordered the Pad Thai! My one and only love of my gastric life.
I am a self proclaimed Pad Thai snob. I love love love it... and I have found another place to indulge in my passion!
The following night i went to the MN State Fair. Pretty much the only reason I go is to... EAT!
This is going to sound like little Miss Piggy-ish but here is a list of all the things I ate:
Corn Dog
Mini-Doughnuts
Cheese Curds
Buffalo Jerky
French Fries in a (h)UGE cup
Chocolate Covered Bacon! aka CHACON, dubbed by Kristina P.
I didn't have the belly room or fortitude to eat my other favorite things... corn on the cob, Sweet Martha's cookies, GIANT turkey drumstick. next time.

My good\healthy\organic\often boring eating habits will resume this week. Wii Fit hates me and I have to make amends.
But it's good to indulge every now and again.


Live each season as it passes,
breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself
to the influences of each.
~Henry David Thoreau

I had NO idea that you live in Minnesota. My dad was born there and we spent vacations there when I was a child. I still have family there, in fact! I hope you had a fantastic time at the fair!

I think you HAVE to indulge every now and then; otherwise you'll go crazy!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
