The Priebes: April 2005

Cappuccino

It took me awhile to finally have a morning where I wasn't running late so late as to not feel I had time to make coffee. The cappuccino maker is actually quite fast—it takes about the same amount of time to eat a bowl of cereal as to make the coffee once you turn it on. I was very pleased with the results. Being able to steam the milk (which I obviously could not do with my cuban coffee maker before) was very nice too.

Thanks for getting it for me Mom. Maryruth hasn't had a chance to try her serger yet but she is very happy to have it (we picked these two items up after Uncle Art & Auntie Margee brought them into Calgary when they were in for Jaeger's [sic] birthday part).

Oh yeah, and excuse the dirty, crowded counter in the picture.

Mini-golfing in the wind.

As you can see, it wasn't really the greatest day for mini-golfing, or even being outside for that matter. However, as mini-golfing was our plan, that is what we did. It wasn't really that bad. +8 and windy or something like that. Just not really nice enough to want to be outside if you're a Priebe.

It actually got nicer during the day (after we had finished). We drove to Canmore (nearer the mountains, approx. 45 min. away) for supper at a Vegetarian restaurant that Heather had found: The Sunfood Cafe. The food was actually very very good. They don't show the menu but the had some fantastic home-made pasta. I thought about the Wild Mushroom stuffed Ravioli but opted for the Fresh Cheese Tortellini in Pesto.

We drove back into Calgary after supper and watched a movie (Spanglish) on the "big screen" (project it on the wall). We had chocolate soufflé, that Pam made, for dessert. Also very good.
