Come to my new site:  http://mangolanegirl.blogspot.com

Our Saturday started out at Davanni’s for a lunch of Italian pizza and green iced tea.

It was such a beautiful sunny day with a high of 84 F that we decided to forget about the movies and embrace the outdoors at Cedar Lake, where lots of people were swimming, canoeing, sunbathing, and fishing.

After hours of [...]

My MA studies is taking up much of my sunshine time.  I am quite resentful, but I’m trying to manage my ill-feelings towards it.  Today I did some research for one of my MA papers at the children’s section of the Minneapolis Library.  I was too shy to sit on the tiny chairs. I was [...]

Drove 20 minutes to Minnetonka two Sundays back.  Then walked along the beach with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.  Mango sorbet for me.  Strawberry cream for him.

Here are some fruit and flowers that we bought from Nicollet’s Thursday Market.  They are fresh and organic.

It has been months since we last dined at the  nearby Irish pub and resto, Kieran’s. They have well-prepared food, all kinds of drinks, and live Irish music.  After some hedging on my part, we finally decided to have our Saturday dinner there.  He had his Sheperd’s Pie while I had my fish n’ chips.  [...]

I have noticed that many of my Minneapolis posts are weather-related.  Having lived a decade in all-sunny Bangkok prior to Minneapolis, I never bothered with the latest Farenheit or Celsius updates.  But in Minneapolis, every dip and rise of the temperature matters.  I actually check the weather before going out.
It is officially summer!  The past [...]

Guests of CNN’s Larry King are talking about David Carradine’s mysterious death in Bangkok, Thailand.  The manager, family and friends insist suicide should be ruled out. They suspect foul play.  However, Thailand’s respected forensic expert says (source: Bangkok Post) he might have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Very very sad end to the formidable antagonist in Kill [...]

I met up with my hubby near his office for  lunch at Eddington’s Soup and Salad Restaurant. We each had soup.  I had Wild Rice in a bowl; the hubby had Chicken Tortilla in unlimited serving.   We had our soup with their hot and yummy bread sticks.
And I finally wore my latest chiffon outside [...]

One of the clothing fabrics that I feel suit my body type and personal style is chiffon.  It is lightweight, flowing, layerable in winter and just perfect for warmer weather.  A chiffon top provides just the right amount of see-thru for my shy-but-wanna-be-sexy moments.  Chiffon blouses don’t bulge or widen your body. However, I have to treat them [...]
