This is for my out of state friends who find out I'm in Minnesota and ask, "oh my god, how cold is it there!?" in July... 😂

Guess who is the birthday girl today! It's VIVIAN PICKLES! She's 5 today!

Here she is at 6 weeks, then on Gotcha Day, last week after Spa Day.

She's a sweetie. Even tho she barks like mad when people come to the house, the squirrels eat the peanuts that I put out for the crows, or the wind blows.

I'm confused. Is this a "To Go" order?

We ate at Nong's again this week. I snapped a pic of the amazing egg rolls. But I was so hungry and excited to eat, that I forgot to snap the green curry and the seafood curry we ordered. Both delicious!

My shadow.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah* to all who celebrate, from The Pickle and the rest of the crew.
*and anything else you are feeling festive about today!

Popped out to Salut in Edina after a stop at the hospital pharmacy (srsly, are people shopping at the hospital? It was madness!)
I had the Croque Madam (half size is plenty) and the server suggested I add mushrooms. Best idea ever! It was delicious!
Greg had the mussels. Creature of habit.

Tried a new place for lunch today! Tibetan Corner in Hopkins. It was delicious! A couple of dishes came out slightly not-what-we-ordered but they were all delicious. The guy working (I assume owner) was very friendly and funny.

After our appearance on MyTalk (more on that later) my co-host and I stopped at Blue Door pub for a 'Blucy' their version of a Jucy Lucy. This was the special, inspired by Swedish Meatballs. The accompanying gravy was a highlight!

If anyone in my life gives me shit about what I 'missed' or "didn't catch" in whatever show I was supposed to be watching... Just know that this is what I'm dealing with. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I can't save every dog. But I vow that every dog who lives with me will be treated like royalty.

I had lunch this past weekend at Tavern Grill in Ridgedale. First time here. French Onion Soup. French Dip and Rings, Build-your-own Burger. Everything was delicious!

The chicken wings at JJ's sometimes look like old men from cartoons. I think this guy would have worn a bow tie.

Went to our favorite pho place, Quang yesterday. I had the Pho Ga (chicken) and it was delicious. But I filled up on egg rolls so I had leftovers. Warmed up today with a jammy egg. Delicious! #pho

Another thing you'll see is pics of my dogs. Here's Vivian Pickles. This is fresh off her spa day!

Hi all! If you follow me you'll probably see lots of food pics. Mostly noodle dishes.
This is from Ichiddo Ramen in Minnetonka, MN. Delicious!
