first cravings

man, I could go for some Chinese food like dim sum. I was in Fargo yesterday and thought about finding some for dinner but didn't want to go to some place that seemed rather stereotypica/borderline racist towards 'orientals'. oh well...I ate a lot of rice today.

busy

we've been busy this week setting up home. we've been unpacking, organizing and finding new spots for all of our stuff. i disassembled a lot of our furniture for the move here... now i have to put it all back together. so far none of the parts are missing, which is amazing to me.

we've also done a bit of traveling in the area. we went up to fargo to return the truck. we did some shopping. the sam's club up there has kikkoman shoyu, but we didn't find any japanese rice. we bought some long grain rice to see how that is and maybe use to stretch out our 50lbs of japanese rice we brought over...

yesterday we went to watertown. i got the oil changed on the mini-van (btw, i don't trust toyota of kirkland, where i got the mini-van), and it got the once over to make sure it was still doing good after the trip. afterward and after some additional shopping we had dinner at culvers. their food was pretty good. their frozen custard and lemon ice were excellent. the frozen custard was pretty rich... i don't think it was good for my lactose intolerance, though.

today i go to fargo again to drop my mother-in-law off at the airport. i'll have to see what else there is to do in fargo before i head home.
