Big Bowl and Moving

I first of all have to say I just watched the MN Gophers win an amazing football game, I love watching college football!

Anyways onto fun stuff for everyone else: Last night we went to Big Bowl and here is my hubby with his "girly" drink. He was mad they put his lemonade in a glass lke that, so I had to take a picture!

This is the menu and I usually order off the appetizer side because I can never eat the normal portions at a restaurant!

We started out with steamed pork sandwiches with homemade pickles! My dad makes a version of something like this and we call them steam bun, with homemade dough, BBQ pork and you steam them over a wok in bamboo! The taste is the same we had here! And the pickes were great!

I had beef curry satays and it was SPICY! It was just okay though, not really impressed! My husband had the orange chicken and I had a little, so good!

The morning was moving day for my brother into the University of Minnesota, so while we were waiting for them to get there I ran these stairs 5 times because I was bored and thought I could get in some quick movement this morning! My legs were like jello and my brother says the athletes here at the U run up and down these alot as well!


This is my dad and hubby unloading all my brothers stuff on the side of the dorm. It was so busy and crazy with all the cars and freshman meeting for orientation stuff everywhere!

This is inside his room, he has a roommate this year. Last year he had a single room, so this was a little bigger and they also have to fit a futon in here somewhere!

This is his view: talk about amazing. Minneapolis skyline, Mississippi river and the Washington Ave Bridge, decked out in MN everything!



We then came back to my apartment where my parents took apart our bed to be stored at their house so it doesn't get hurt! And we packed some more. My hubby and Dadwent to Smashburger for lunch and my momto Culvers!
I opted for some plain Chobani with almond butter!


When I went to Whole Foods yesterday they were selling these new granola bars made locally in MN. I picked up the lemon chamomile one and put it on top of my Chobani mixture!


All together and amazing!

I don't know what the rest of the evening will bring, lots of rest and packing probably!
Whats your favorite topping to Chobani or regular yogurt?
