It’s been almost a month since my last post. So, where in the world am I? I’m in the states, about half way through my time here and OMG has time just flown by. I can’t believe it’s only 14 days until I’m back in Thailand. What have I been up to? Well, I did spend a week and a half in Chiang Mai with friends. I had a blast and made… Read More
Finally made it down to Apple Valley, to check out this new concept food hall, The Misfits Collective. It’s all dark colors and cleans lines. A modern, cave-y sort of feel, but not like it’s a cave at all. There are 4 “stalls”. The first you enter upon is Eighth Fire, which is the fine dining option. Straight ahead from the main door is Curiouser Coffee, the cafe place. Ratio is to… Read More
I could try to remember the last time I went to restaurant week, but I’m not sure I can even recall. I think it must’ve been 2019. This time, I just happened to be up in Minnesota during their summer restaurant week. There wasn’t a ton of restaurants on the list, but there were a few I did want to check out. To be exact, I went to three. 1. Baldamar –… Read More
As I write this up, I’m officially announcing that Baramee Birthday Month is officially over. It was not the typical Baramee Birthday Month, but how could it be as this is 2020 and there are so many things going on in the external world (BLM, COVID-19, Pride Month, etc). But, in true Baramee fashion, I will still celebrate Birthday Month (I started a little late, but better late than never and went… Read More
Day Two…how you really do the MN State Fair…with a sh*t ton of people. The math: more people + more money = more foods and drinks. Also, to enjoy the fair in a less-congested manner, we get there as it is opening at 8:00AM (I really want to shouty-caps the time, but it’s really hard to shouty-caps time (in the manner in which I wrote it out…above, so thus, we will just… Read More
I’ve got to say, the fair is fun in and of itself, but it’s even more fun to bring someone that has never been or hasn’t been or done it in the right manner. You really need a strategy going into it. Otherwise, it’s not very fun and gets very overwhelming way too fast. Personally, I like to do the fair over the span of a couple days (usually not in a… Read More
So what’s the first thing I did when I hit the city limits? Go to dinner, of course. Yeah baby, get into town at 4:15pm and dinner reservations at 5:00pm. This girl doesn’t play around when it comes to awesome food. Going to Travail is not just going for their food, though it’s awesome. I’m going for the experience. They (the chefs) make it interactive and entertaining. The food is pretty and… Read More
