Readers, today I made my third pilgrimage to the Spam Museum in Austin, MN; it was glorious. The sheer enormity and grandeur of the establishment is difficult to explain in words, but fear not, loyal readership, I have taken pictures of all kinds! You may be chuckling to yourself at this point. "Why place so much importance on spam?" you may ask yourself. I think the license plates in the parking lot speak for themselves. Among the plates I saw Arkansas, Florida and Texas. That is, out of the first and only cars we actually looked at in the parking lot. Thats right, people travel hundreds, nay, thousands of miles to see the glory that is spam. Needless to say, I was still excited for my third time seeing it.
The museum was great, once again. I picked up a few new recipes involving spam and I tasted the newest spam flavor, cracked pepper, before it has even been released in the US. Also, it was great seeing my brother and friend, Mike, go through it for the first time. The tour ended on a sad note, though, as the restaurant which served spam dishes across the street had closed down. Alas, only samples of spam at the museum for me today...hope to try and make some of the recipes I learned however.
I did not mention this earlier, but both on the way to and from the museum we ate at the White Castle in Shakopee. If anyone ever needs to know, White Castle is my favorite fast food establishment ever. Having it twice in one day was truly a treat. Big day, ill be happy to fall into bed soon...Good times.
