Dear Friends and Family,
Wow! It feels weird to post a "normal" entry after a week off followed by a week recapping our trip. I'm writing tonight because I have work I need to do tomorrow morning.
Mr. mouse and I had a full weekend. We drove out to Detroit on Saturday for our dentist appointment. After lunch we had dim sum at Great Lake (review to come) followed by some shopping. We walked through State Street and Main Street before hitting the delicatessen mecca of Michigan, Zingerman's. I got a pot of tea and Mr. mouse got some coffee. We grabbed some empty chairs to enjoy our drinks. While we were reading through some random brochures, we came upon a leaflet for a free t-shirt if we complete the Zingerman's tour in a single day... They have a creamery and a bakeshop in addition to the deli. Both were closed the last time we were here. Looks like they have weekend hours now. So, we finished our drinks and headed to the creamery.
The creamery specializes in cheeses, butters and gelato. Tours on Sunday at noon. We each got a gelato before heading over to the bakeshop. All sorts of breads, cakes, pies, cookies and other goodies in the bakeshop. Tours on Saturday for $5. Looks like we'll be back another weekend to do the tours. We bought some chocolate chunk sourdough rolls, a baguette and some farm bread before heading to the Roadhouse for dinner (review to come). After dinner, we picked up our free t-shirts and drove home.
Sunday morning we woke bright and early and headed over to the bar to watch the F1 race at Bahrain. No such luck. Closed. We came back home. Mr. mouse headed back to bed. I spent the morning cleaning and organizing the kitchen. Got two of the four surfaces cleared and clean. The clutter is gone and I feel so much better for it. I napped in the afternoon while Mr. mouse did laundry and went grocery shopping. We grilled for dinner - pork chops, asparagus, zucchini and portobello mushrooms with the last of the baguette. Mr. mouse is napping in front of the TV. I'm going to do my two food reviews before heading to bed.
Cheers!
