Figlio in Uptown

Two posts in one day! I'm just that good.

So I didn't go to Figlio today, but I went last weekend. It wasn't my first time, but every time I go I'm always happy with what I get! Located in uptown, the chic bistro offers some fabulous martinis and yummy food. Happy hours are 4-7 at the bar and weekends 12-7. This includes house wines and beer and a myriad of appetizers.

This past time I went with Lindsay and Susan and ordered Ruby Cosmo and sweet potato fries. SO GOOD. Every martini I've gotten there has been real tasty. Linds also got the artichoke dip which never fails at Figlio. Prices aren't too bad, especially during happy hour!!

Ahoy There!!

Hey all, back for another post.

So last Saturday, myself and some fellow NSACer's (Susan included) went out on Mr. Tsang's boat, Wind Dance. Sail boat to be exact. Last time I went sailing was during a family trip to Door County, WI. Very different experience. It was really cold and cloudy, and no matter how much I willed the sun to come out, it refused.

It was still a fabulous time, and I learned what a "boom" is (spelling?!). It's the thing that holds the sail up and can wack you in the head if you are taller than 5' 4". Luckily I missed the cutoff by about 2 inches.

Lake Minnetonka is really beautiful and odd. The lake is comprised of several smaller ones and it looks like someone just kind of splattered it on the earth. If it was warmer out I might have made the plunge, despite my disgust of lake water. Apparently it is the place to be during Minnesota's summers. I swear, every other person you meet in the state owns a cabin on a lake or a boat.

After galavanting on the lake, we went to Sunsets in Wayzata for an awesome lunch. Best tomato soup and artichoke dip I've had in a while!! Slightly pricey if you are a poor college student, but it was worth it.

Done for now. Back later for more adventures.
