A Blooming Business...

It's time for another planted blog post. This month is all about love, but I'm going to be sharing about a new business in town, that I absolutely adore. If you live in Bismarck, ND, this is a place you definitely need to be checking out. It's located right inside CHI St. Alexius Health at 310 North 10th Street. When you walk in through the sliding doors, make a right and you will discover a place that serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. It's called Cafe Noko and it's a small family owned business. Their hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. 

When you walk in you will be greeted with a friendly staff, which includes, Brian, Amy and Cindy, Brian's mom who is always creating one of her famous masterpieces in the way of salads. There are fresh made goodies each day. What you may find are muffins, cookies, caramel rolls, danish pastries, etc. Something is always being made and the aroma is so inviting. Some of their specialties for breakfast are their frittatas, quiches and a favorite, an egg sandwich. I will include their menu at the end, so you can see for yourself.

Some of my favorites include; A hot White Chocolate Butterscotch Mocha, Huckleberry Lemonade or pretty much any flavor with a splash of club soda. I like the fact that I can enjoy these without caffeine, but for anyone who needs their morning pick me up, that's available for you as well. 

It's great for the medical community to have a place like this, especially for the hospital and for me, all I have to do is walk through the tunnel from the clinic. They are always busy and their business is definitely blooming.

I love going there to pick up my lunch. Some of my favorites have been of course their salads, the one I enjoy the most is the Apple Walnut salad with or without onions. Anyone who knows me, can take a wild guess which one I get. Thai salad another favorite, Korean bulgogi beef tacos over rice, Knoephia, Kraut with smoked sausage and a side of corn. Great German dish. 

It's pretty much my go-to place during the work week, as I mentioned up above the convenience and it gives me a chance to get a little walk in and take a break. 

It's not unusual to be greeted by name as you walk in. You really do begin to feel like family, as it's so inviting. I recommend you check it out and see for yourself. I promise you, you'll not be disappointed. 

I'm all about promoting those who do good work for others. You can tell that Brian enjoys cooking up these specials. He gets so excited. I've seen it firsthand.

I hope you have enjoyed this special planted blog post. I'm so happy we have this place. So come out and support this wonderful new family owned business.

Until next time, KEEP BLOOMING! 
❤️ Brenda

      Well, baby sister, you are making me hungry just reading about all the food and drink These people serve in their restaurant. I would venture to guess that you will give them some business by such a positive post

Turbulence in the Garden...

Hello, my fellow readers. I realize it's been many months, since my last planted blog post. So much has transpired since May 29th, which was the last time I sat down and planted a blog post. That evening the wind was taken out of my sails. Let me expound in the next paragraph. I was getting settled for the evening and watching TV, when I had a knock at the door. It was my neighbor from down the hall. What he was about to tell me would rock my world. That's where the turbulence comes in. It appeared that all 12 of the apartments were going to be refurbished and that would mean that I was going to have to move at some point. He was only given a 32 day notice or legal action would be taken. It essentially was a termination of lease. He felt the need to share with me, because of the fact that I was single and did not have a car. It was kind of him to think of me. My head was spinning and I was in disbelief this was even happening.  April 1st had been 33 years that I had resided at ...

To My Best Friend in the Garden...

Hello, it's Brenda here, planting another blog post. This one is going to be much different and personal. A couple of years ago, I penned a letter to my best friend in life, my late mother and I'm going to do that once again. I've been missing her something awful and have so much to share with her. I thought it was also a good and healthy way to get my feelings out. I hope my readers find some help and solace from it as well.  It's Arthritis and Brain Tumor Awareness Month, so you will understand where I'm going with this. I haven't had the desire to write or share anything for months now, so I thought this would be the best way to convey it in a letter.  Dear Mom, It been almost 14 years since you left this earth on May 31, 2011. It was a Tuesday afternoon and I had spent the better part of the day by your bedside along with several visitors, one being a cousin, who visited you many times while you were in the nursing home. We cleaned out your room after you ha...

Emptiness in the Garden...

I hadn't planned to plant a blog post because lately, I haven't felt like there was anything of substance to share. It's funny how life can throw you a curve ball. Let me explain in the next paragraph. I was listening to Dionne Warwick singing 'Heartbreaker' on YouTube, when I received the text message that would take the wind out of my sails.  I was informed that my friend and kindred spirit had passed away on November 19th from complications of her recent surgery. I knew she had had this surgery and we messaged one another a few days after. I thought something was off, because it wasn't like her not to keep in contact. She would call on the weekends and we would chat a bit. They weren't really long conversations, but meaningful.  I felt like something bad was about to happen. I had experienced this same feeling when my sister ended up passing away from colon cancer over 20 years ago. You know when something is off.  I sent my friend a text message on her b...
