For those of you who don’t know, I am in MN visiting family and friends for most of August. Last night my friends Ryan and Heather, who just moved out to Minneapolis from WA, my long-time friend Jeanne, and I had an AWESOME dinner at one of my favorite pizza places in the Twin Cities Pizza Luce (Davanni’s takes 2nd). We had their Baked Potato Pizza, The Wrangler, and Idacado Pizza which was one of the specials. It had chipotle cream cheese as a base, then a bed of garlic mashed potatos, then a layer of pico de gallo and finished off with a blend of cheeses, sour cream and an avocado crema! I know they all sound weird, and they are. I promise they were all good though. We felt that the Baked Potato and Idacado tied. Surprisingly the Wrangler came in last. It just goes to show that there can be surprising rewards in the absurd! 

After that, we went to see Ryan and Heather’s new place then decided to drive up Central Ave and ended up exploring the Holy Land Market. After that, Ryan was craving bubble tea and then so was I. So we headed to Dinkytown and went to The Tea Garden to finish off the night. Below are a few pictures I snapped of Ryan and Heather there. 

All in all, it was a fun night. It was great to hang out with friends from Washington and Jeanne from MN. It felt like my two worlds were colliding. I hope that happens more often. I think it will now that Ryan and Heather are living out here. If you are from the area or just interested, check out the church they are planting in the Twin Cities called, The Crux.
