So I started to blog

Ok, so I know, a blog about everything seems impossible and yet I can't blog about nothing since that's already being done, I have an interest in a lot of things, so one simple subject just doesn't cut it...so it brings me to everything. For instance, I'm watching curling and I have no earthly clue what is going on. So far it looks like someone slides a stone across the ice trying to get it into the goal and the sweepers help it along and yet there is strategy in trying to get rid of the opponent's stones...and a lot of yelling. Somehow I can't look away from the screen. I'm going to guess that this sport has a very loyal fan base and consider myself one of the few people in the world that just doesn't quite get it. I will leave it to those passionate about it.

So why would anyone choose to read this blog? Beats me...I'm writing this purely for my own entertainment, I have lots of thoughts on lots of subjects...and sometimes some insights that other people may find helpful. For example, my husband and I went out to dinner on Friday night in St. Paul, Minnesota. We visited an establishment my husband frequents quite often but I had only eaten there once...Ruam Mit Thai http://www.ruam-mit-thai.net/ and I can honestly say, the Pad Thai was once of the best I've had and they offered Thai Iced Tea (yum!). The service was great, the atmosphere was bright and clean, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying out Thai food while they're in the Twin Cities. I can also say that up until about seven years ago I had never tried Thai food...or Vietnamese...or Indian food because...well I was afraid. I had no idea what to order...I was afraid of getting something too spicy. I think my sister finally introduced me to Pad Thai...and then Curry...and now I have a deep appreciation for a whole world of cuisine I was denying myself out of fear. So I encourage other people who haven't stepped outside of their cuisine comfort zone, to give it a shot...a wondrous world of food awaits.
