My breakfast at Blackbird Cafe, yum.
Admiring the tulips at the Arboretum.
Wow, what a weekend!
On Saturday, to celebrate Mother's Day early, we went out to breakfast at the Blackbird Cafe in Minneapolis. This is a top-notch breakfast/brunch joint, definitely one of my favorites in the Twin Cities. I enjoyed the pancakes with fried banana and toasted walnuts, while Corey indulged in their french toast. Sula had fun distracting everyone else in the restaurant from eating their meal, she just loves getting people's attention. After breakfast, I received a sweet gift from Corey and Sula, a new All Clad french skillet. Later that night I fried up some asparagus in olive oil to go with dinner so that I could try out my new skillet. Thank you Corey (and Sula)!
Then on Sunday, we went to the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to enjoy spring in full bloom. It was cold and breezy out, even with a forecast of 61 degrees. There are tell-tale signs throughout the gardens that the plants endured a tough winter. Most of the boxwoods and other shrubs looked stunted and had a lot of dead growth.
