I had a pretty decent weekend this past weekend; as you might have guessed I went to Ashton for the weekend. Hold on, let's rewind: I first went down to Idaho Falls on Friday morning to do a special little grocery run because I was doing gyoza this weekend! THEN I drove up to Ashton. And we got to do quite a bit as well.
I went flying with my uncle a couple hours after I arrived. As you might expect, I had fun with that, as always! Then we had some gyoza preparation to do. And as usual, my uncle made his "sweatshop" complaints and... Wait! He actually ducked out on prepping this time! That DOG... Oh well, I got it done anyways.
I also got to enjoy a delicious lunch at Chiz's in St. Anthony on Saturday while I was in the area. For such a tiny establishment, Chiz's (formerly Chiz's Cougar Cave) is a popular place. Every time I send picture messages of the food I eat there to my Dad, he responds by calling me a DOG (yes, it's all in caps). My Dad loves this place. My aunt and uncle loves this place. For such "Americanized" foods with a little Asian on the side, it is by far some of the best tasting you can get.

While relaxing in Ashton, I grabbed a bite to eat at the good ol' Five-Eleven Main soda fountain for a pizza and shake:
 |
| Personal meat pizza |
 |
| Chocolate shake, just how I like it. I'm glad they kept the soda fountain! |
Sunday was gyoza day.

| And the cycle continues with the next batch. You can tell which ones were folded by me and which ones were folded by someone else. They don't call my "The Gyoza King" for nothing! |
My aunt also made egg rolls and soy wings to complete the meal:
 |
| My aunt's egg rolls are always a popular dish to go with my gyoza! |
 |
| Soy wings are good addition too! |
It was nice to get away for the weekend, no doubt.
