"The Nook" Restaurant

There is a tiny restaurant in St. Paul called The Nook. It was a featured spot on "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives" two years ago for there awesome burgers. So off we went to try it!


The place was packed since it was just on TV. We waited 45 minutes to be seated, but the food was so good it was worth the wait! This is January 2008


This is January 2010, back to see if they still had the best burgers in town. It was packed again!


All the way down there nobody would believe me that Barbara Streisand had been there. Wouldn't you know it, we were seated at a table right by her autographed picture!


They never said they had good service. (but they really do)



Kara seemed to get along with our server!


YES IT IS!

Rolf thinks it was worth the wait!
A "Got To Have" souvenir! :) If your ever looking for a great place to eat I'll take you there!

Ice Fishing 2010

Ok, It's been a while since I've posted anything but the ice fishing just has not produced the trophey fish I was hoping to blog about. My first trip out was a disaster when i dropped my cell phone down the hole in 22' of water. (David Rains tells the "STORY" much better than I can!)
This is the contraption consisting of conduit, under water camera and ice scooper held together with electrical tape (should have used DUCT TAPE) used to try to fish for cell phone UNSUCCESSFULLY!


Philip and his friend Nat went to Mille Lacs for two days

Good thing the pesky perch kept them busy because the walleyes didn't!
