Weekend

We had a nice weekend with lots going on. On Friday evening, we stayed in but left on Saturday morning for Austin's sister's baby shower. It was a couples event that basically involved a nice lunch, gift opening, and visiting. We gave the growing family a baby bath center and when we pulled it out of the car, someone thought it was a baby carrier. Apparently guests came to the window to see the Mystery LundeRoy Baby. Ha!

After that, we ran to test drive a car that I was interested in. It was a cool Tiburon with a sports package and it looked great but driving it was another story. The clutch was awful, it was nearly undrivable. It was very near the neighborhood where I had my first apartment after college so our test drive took us past the good ol' Riverview Apartments on Blake Road in Hopkins.

We had a few other quick errands and then met some friends for dinner at the King and I downtown Mpls. The food was outstanding (I had been there once before but couldn't remember anything notable about the food). I had a yellow curry dish with shrimp and Austin did the classic pad thai. Our friends shared some sort of veggie dish in a rich peanut sauce, so good that Austin is hoping to recreate it at home sometime.

We came back home late on Saturday night and thus had the luxury of waking up in our own bed on Sunday, having a leisurely morning, then running lots of errands and cleaning. It was about 80 degrees out and we were going to grill some salmon but then it started to rain. We ended up baking the salmon, rubbing it with a brown sugar-soy mixture, and we also roasted some asparagus. We had a clean house and a nice dinner, the perfect end to the weekend.
