This technically falls under the category of Minnesotan misc. but we met
someone who has actually had Swedish egg coffee, which I may
have previously mentioned seeing (and wondering about) at the Minnesota
State fair. Thanks to my native Minnesotan classmate Lindsay for
enlightening us about its possible culinary merits. I probably still won't
try it because of my dislike of eggs.

Just to add to that, the dog's name was Nom Chompsky.
Also, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the whole concept of the walking taco. It's basically just a taco salad served in a plastic bag, these little single-sized servings of chips type bag. Except even to say "salad" would be stretching it, because I don't think there are vegetables, unless you count corn chips as a vegetable. But it's the big thing, especially for tail-gating parties and the like. Whoopee...

Grammy rocks
"I can do anything- I'm a grammy!" - this is what the bagger at Dahl's said! We didn't have our usual, large
canvas grocery bags with us, so in a pinch, found a drawstring plastic bag in the trunk of the car and brought
that in when stopped to pick up a few items. Well as it often does, a few items turns into several, and before you know it, we're at the register with 4 boxes of cereal, milk, etc. etc.
The grammy-bagger at the register assured us she could certainly fit everything in our bag!

I do appreciate the fact that "healthy choices" are listed alongside my "on a stick" choices!
Only 7 days til the Iowa State Fair begins!
If you are curious, there are currently 57 items on a stick, including, improbably enough,
salad (?), a hard- boiled egg, honey, Hot Bologna,
