Free Food, the Stearns County Way

I'm quite sure that you all must know this already, but for those of you who live in a cave; June is dairy month. Further, for you cave-dwellers, dairy month is avidly celebrated by the Central Minnesota Federal Credit Union. In years gone by, they celebrated by offering both free food and ice cold milk dispensers in each branch location. Sadly, however, milk has gone the way of the dinosaurs, but the free food remains, like some tenacious bladder fluke. The Stearns county tradition of free food is likely to nurture this so called invertebrate holder-on as it has nurtured since the good-ole' days. However, before we reach this fascinating free-food feast, there exists a not so free breakfast.

My breakfast consisted of raisin bran. Hey, what can I say, I value regularity. Plus, it has two scoops of raisins! Cant really argue with that. Then, when lunch arrived promptly at 1130 in the village of Melrose, I ventured forth to consume the free goodness provided by our beloved credit union. This meal included hotdogs, brats, pickles, chips, potato salad and, of course, milk, for the whole dairy month thing. You, faithful reader, will never guess who I met in this humble event taking place in our humble town. That is right, the dairy queen herself was there! Gracing us with her presence and distributing beverages, as is the burden borne by all Stearns county dairy queens hailing before her. The food itself was meh, but the flavor of free enhanced the flavor of the potato salad far more effectively than any spice known to man. Now, if I could only experience free German food or sushi...That may be a sensory experience of epic proportions.

My dinner consisted of mere leftovers of delicious shrimp fettucinni. This hardly justifies a paragraph. I am, however, endevoring to add sentances to this paragraph until it satisfys the english language requirement. I like seagulls. There you have it, a complete paragraph. Until tommorow, adeiu.
