Dear Friends and Family,
We drove out to Michigan again, this time to see friends. Normally, we combine the dentist and friends into a single trip, but due to some deplorable planning on our part we split it into two separate trips this time around. In the end, we had a fun weekend, so it really doesn't matter.
Friday night, I met up with Mr. mouse to do the drive over. He picked up sushi and takoyaki (little octopus balls) at Mitsuwa for the drive so I wouldn't need to burn points on fast food. We got in a little after midnight and turned in for the night.
Saturday, we headed out early for the Zingerman's Bakehouse tour. Then, we met up with our friends for some lunch at Zingerman's Roadhouse. Fortunately, we just beat the U of M graduation rush. They all had reservations for 1 o'clock. Afterwards, we spent the day in typical Mr. mouse fashion driving from point to point picking up miscellanea at each stop. Four stops and three hours later, we were back to our friends' house to start making dinner for the usual crew. Mr. mouse made a bunch of dishes - honey mustard chicken, lemongrass chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, flank steak, bok choy, green beans, and rice. We topped it off with coffee and a delicious chocolate cake Debbie brought with her. Then, my favorite part of the evening - we broke out the mahjong set and played until almost 4 in the morning.
Sunday, we slept in and then headed out to the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo. We spent most of the day looking at old planes. But, they also had rides for the kids and adults. I'll post links here once Mr. mouse uploads them onto YouTube. After the Air Zoo, we headed home and had dinner on the deck - grilled chicken, semolina bread from our trip to Zingerman's and a salad of mixed greens. We also had a taste off between some 97% fat free hot dogs - will write about those tomorrow in my food post.
Cheers!
