-I'm casually reading a magazine article about places to go all along Lake Superior.
-I decide we should take a trip to one of these places, on the Canadian side, since Nathan's parents' cabin is only 3 hours away and I've never been to Canada despite living in MN my entire life.
-I google the first city that looks interesting, Thunder Bay.
-On their city's homepage is a feature about Harbourfest, coming up June 20-21. It looks like a nice summer outdoor festival, outdoor concerts, art fair, family fun, and....a ZOMBIE WALK FOLLOWED BY ZOMBIE BALL!
I immediately booked us a room for Fri. & Sat. night within walking distance of the zombie action.
If you know me, you know I love Zombies. I love dressing up, going out in public, groaning "Braaiiiiins", and befriending the fellow undead. We have an annual zombie pub crawl here in Mpls which is great, but this festival is even better:
-It's nowhere near halloween
-It's organized by a local art gallery where everyone meets and can get their makeup done
-Everyone walks from the gallery to an outdoor stage where there's a zombie dance to a rockabilly band
-Afterwards the zombie ball is at a bar complete with "costume contests, zombie sushi chef performance, and zombie go-go dancers".
If anyone out there is even thinking about coming, please do, we'd love to meet you!
And....here's a recipe for a really awesome raw broccoli salad:
Broccoli Salad with Creamy Orange Cilantro Dressing
Salad
2 medium size broccoli crowns
1 Clementine (Can substitute tangerine)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped soaked walnuts
2 Tablespoons finely diced sweet or red onion
Dressing
Juice of 1 medium Naval orange
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup fresh cilantro

Blend in food processor or blender until smooth. To get a thicker consistency, slowly pour in the olive oil while machine is running.
