Two Minnesota Kids: What? It's almost May?!

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-its-almost-may.html

Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Sorry for another long lapse between posts. Facebook and Twitter are easier and faster for sharing bits of information about life. I've been thinking about giving up the blog entirely but I come back to it every now and then because I miss the journaling or chronicling aspect. Here are a couple of pics from Troy's birthday (now more than a month ago). We were lucky to have friends from Minnesota visiting us. They loved the Virginia scenery and beer as much as we do!

Two Minnesota Kids: Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2012/03/maybe-you-can-teach-old-dog-new-tricks.html

Sunday, March 18, 2012. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. I don't have the best memory but I distinctly remember dreading having to run the mile during the Presidential Fitness Tests back in grade school. I was definitely one of the slowest kids. That was embarrassing in and of itself. But I also remember simply having a hard time completing the task. It truly felt torturous. To me, running doesn't carry a fun. March 20, 2012 at 9:48 AM.

Two Minnesota Kids: May 2012

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I've been picking black raspberries from the yard already. I think it must be the earliest I've ever picked berries in my life. And they say climate change is a myth. In any case, they are delicious. I haven't had a chance to cook with them yet but I've been enjoying them with vanilla yogurt and in cereal. Anybody have some good recipe suggestions? Baking some type of pie is probably in order. Monday, May 7, 2012. Source: Uploaded by user. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Picture Wind...

Two Minnesota Kids: November 2011

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, despite the fact that my mom always hated having to help come up with costume ideas for us. As a child, I was a clown, a gypsy or a hobo for many years in a row because those were easy costumes. This year, I went as Pippi Longstocking (no wig needed! And Troy went as Pierre the Pantsless Voyageur. Of Two Harbors, MN. A picture of Pierre during BradFest. Pierre the Pantsless Voyageur. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Place We&#...

Two Minnesota Kids: Egg muffins!

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2012/05/egg-muffins.html

Monday, May 7, 2012. Source: Uploaded by user. I'm a big fan of breakfast. I think the first dish I ever cooked by myself was scrambled eggs. I'm always looking for delicious new ways to prepare eggs and so I was excited about a new recipe. I may make them for dinner! May 7, 2012 at 2:36 PM. May 22, 2012 at 11:45 AM. Aww thats super sweet Liz. We loved hosting you and getting a chance to visit! Congrats again on getting over that final hurdle! Mary, did you try the recipe? May 22, 2012 at 11:50 AM.

Two Minnesota Kids: March 2012

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Beer is for birthdays. For Troy's birthday this year I treated him to a five-course meal complete with beer pairings at our favorite brewery. It was a decadent and delicious treat and an interesting experience since we sat with a table full of strangers. Unfortunately, I was too busy eating and drinking (and making small talk with our neighbors) to take many photos. But I did manage to capture the start and finish of the meal.

Two Minnesota Kids: December 2011

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 15, 2011. We were really sorry to see another good friend move away last week. We've known Liz since we arrived in Charlottesville in 2005. Troy and I got to know Liz well when we lived in the apartment above hers for a couple of years. We threw some really memorable joint parties. Liz is a beautiful, stylish, funny and incredibly smart woman, not to mention a kind and considerate friend. We will miss her dearly. Sunday, December 11, 2011. We had all the traditional trimmings.

Two Minnesota Kids: October 2011

http://twomnkids.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 27, 2011. Last weekend we had some surprise visitors- some friends from Minnesota's Iron Range. Kevin and Sela were taking a road trip (which we discovered via Facebook) and just happened to be traveling through, so we invited them to stay with us on Saturday night. But the results were still beautiful and tasty. Contest and test (tasting) pie! Ready to hit the road after a pie breakfast and packing some Robot Roast Coffee. Unfortunately, Troy's pie didn't win. He received some seri...
