Minneapolis airport was busy but not so much as on a pre-pandemic day. I couldn't resist stopping by Smack Shack, one of the best airport restaurants around. I took my lobster bisque to the gate and enjoyed. Wonderful creamy soup and great lobster flavor. Thanks so much, folks!

A flight showed me that LNK is active and busy. United and Delta are now on the same side of the terminal, something that I'm sure reduces security costs. Food operations both before and after security are humming. And the Lincoln Flyers Club is as comfortable as ever. Thanks, folks, for being there!

I ran some errands and wanted to enjoy my time out of the house. The Coffee House is a nice spot for a treat. I sat outside and enjoyed my iced coffee. Thanks, folks!

I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends at Casa Bovina. An amuse bouche... ...followed by a flavorful, juicy piece of Nebraska beef. And who could pass up this chocolate lava cake? Thanks again, folks!

I enjoy fruit for breakfast. I prefer the subtle sweetness of fruit to the overt sweetness of sugar or syrup in most cases. (The occasional splash of syrup or honey is certainly a treat.) Apples have become my fruit of choice for breakfast given how available they are to me---a wide range of varieties over most of the year. Apples also make a great match to these multi-grain pancakes. I modified the King Arthur recipe by using my sourdough starter. Delicious! I am grateful.

A return home means steak on the grill. Perfect with home fries and brussel sprouts. I am grateful to be home and to have this wonderful food.
