I recently returned from a lightening trip to Minnesota! I was there for exactly 7 days, and in that span of time I managed to travel to all edges of the state. I flew into Minneapolis and ate at an outrageous organic raw foods restaurant, attended a funeral for my great-uncle Lyle in Hawley, re-visited my University in Morris, interviewed for an Ambassadorial Scholarship with Rotary International in Duluth (and I've just received confirmation that I've been selected for one!), spent a night on the Iron Range in Aurora with good friends T.R. and L.R., and I had 2 whole days in my hometown: Little Falls. The highlights include making homemade pizza in Mo-town, rollerblading along the Mississippi, playing morning basketball with my papa, and jamming on the guitar with my brother Andrew!
Tomorrow Toyama H.S. will resume normal classes so I celebrated my last day of summer break with baking biscuits and biking to Asamushi beach for an impromptu sand volleyball tourney! Then, tonight I met friends at my favorite Korean BBQ restaurant "Gyu Kaku" and had some delicious "bibimba" --which is steamed rice topped with marinated bean sprouts and other vegetables and served in a hot stone bowl. For those who often read my rambles, do you notice a common theme? Somehow food always works it's way into my life...I love to write about it, read about it, make it, and most definitely eat it!
