Bookless

The library was closed yesterday, and the quickest solution was to use my Kindle. The three kid books I have on there won't last long, so more downloads must happen soon. Here come the free classics!

A & W

Burgers, fries, lemonade, and ice cream. Nothing has changed at the good ol' A&W, not even the jukebox. They tasted the root beer again but still aren't convinced.

Day's End

This sunset at the lake was just ducky. Granddaughters are quiet and ready for bed. Me, too. Almost.

Taco Night

Taco night at our resort was a big hit with the girls building their own taco salads and eating two each. They washed them down with kiddie cocktails, and we grandparents had Fat Tire on tap.
Stuffed, we headed to the arcade room next door. One girl spent all of her money and the other spent none. Guess which!
Before leaving, we will stop by the popcorn maker and help ourselves to snacks for munching later at the condo. Maybe we should take a little hike around the gardens before ending the day. Or a long hike.

Walleye Lunch Plus

Start with a lake view, add a bloody mary and chaser, then dig into a walleye on ciabatta bread. We must be on vacation! Again!

Breakfast and More

Here's what remains after I ate a third of a really big slice of sausage and pepperjack cheese quiche. Later!

Gull Lake

Making great time, we are less than an hour from Gull Lake and our condo cabin. The best part is reuniting with family, of course.
The flight yesterday evening was on time, the taxi driver last night made no wrong turns, my key worked in the front door, and we were asleep by 11:00. This morning we were up at 6:00, loaded our things, headed for the local TJ's Coffee, and left there at 7:00 with coffees, a cinnamon-apple scone for Jim, and a slice of sausage-pepperjack cheese quiche for me. (Yummy, but one-third of that huge slice was plenty, rest saved for another time. Also have to save appetite for the walleye sandwich planned for lunch.)
(If anyone reading this wants to know what happened to the rest of the SD posts, I am saving my notes. For someday.)

Aebleskiver

Although I had never eaten any or even seen them, I made them at older daughter's home for family breakfast. We bought the cast iron pan in Tyler MN, home to Danebod and a Danish settlement, much like Danevang where husband grew up. First I seasoned the pan, then made batter from easiest recipe. The trick was finding facsimile to a metal knitting needle for turning them. My most successful choice was a toothpick, but oh so hot over the stove. I used sweet fillings of fruit and later chocolate. Savory attempts were two different cheeses, mild and peppery. I may make these again, but note that comfortable shoes are a necessity for obvious reason. So is the cooler winter season.
