Told ya!

See...I told you. I'm really bad a keeping up with posts. It's almost a year since my last (and first) post. Maybe the second time will be a charm.

So nothing exciting has actually happened in a year...it's the same old Sioux Falls experience, but I'm going to try and go out there and see if there are any gems. For me, I tend to do the same things each week: dinner and a movie. The summer is typically busy for movies and I eat year round. Not too exciting, I know.

However, moving to a more "exciting" note, I finally made my way to Cleaver's on Western. I wanted to make sushi yesterday and I was looking for fish that would be acceptable to use. They did not have any in stock, but I left my number so I could get a call when something does come in. Don't worry though, I didn't leave empty-handed. There is no way I could be around all that food and not buy something. I decided to get a fillet of salmon.

My eyes got pretty big when I saw $15.95 a pound though. What the hell!!?? I guess that is the price you pay for good fish? I'm going to have to do a little research on that and check around town. On the flip side, after eating that fish.....my somewhat buyer's remorse went in my stomach with that DELICIOUS fish. I'm usually not a big salmon fan because I always seem to experience dry fish, but this fish was good. Also, my total lunch (salmon, green beans, and roasted potatoes) cost me about $9 so if you think about how a restaurant would probably charge me $18, I'm feeling pretty good.

A new shipment of seafood is supposed to come in today, so I may have to pay a visit. (FYI: new shipments come in Tuesdays and Fridays and if you let them know before noon on Monday or Thursday, they can get you whatever they want. I learned this yesterday.)

Well, that's it for now. I've got to hit the books. Before I go, I leave you with a question: where is the best Chinese place in town?

What's a girl to do?!!

I don't know why I'm blogging because I pretty much stuck at sticking with it, but hopefully this time is different. (The third time is a charm???.......) Anyway, I've got nothing else to do......which brings me to the point of this blog.

So, I decided to start a blog about things to do in Sioux Falls, SD. I've been living here for a year now, so not entirely a newbie, but having spent a good 18+ years in Atlanta, Georgia, I'm still getting used to the city that is called Sioux Falls.

When I first got here, these were my first reactions:
1) For us "city slickers", Sioux Falls is not a true city. My definition: If I don't see at least one skyscraper, I will have to demote the "city" to a town.........or a really big suburb.

2) Where will I buy my Korean/Nigerian/Chinese/etc ingredients? There are a few spots here and there, but I really miss being able to find these ingredients with no trouble and especially, not having to drive around the city. Gas is not cheap. As of now, I do what I can, but I get a lot of my ingredients online or when I go to the Minneapolis.

3) What is there to do? It seems like the same things over and over again. Now, I'm busy all the time so I don't know why I'm complaining, but IF I did have time, I would like something to do.

So anyway, I hoping that this blog will make me get up and try all the things that the city has or may offer. Since I like....wait........LOVE to eat, I'll probably be posting about a lot of eateries, so bear with me.

So here's to having fun and not getting into TOO much trouble.....
That's it for now!
