The Miasma...

Well, today's post is not so much about what I ate, as it is about what I failed to digest. I Woke up early to cancel a meeting with a landlord and to schedule another. Following this, I had time to shower and eat some fruity pebbles before heading off to my meeting with Dr. Maroof-Tamir about my research. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Maroof was not able to make it to my meeting at 11 am, so we rescheduled a meeting for 1 pm instead. I thought to myself, "hey, I have some time to blow, I should check out the Electric Fetus." So I did. I walked in and looked at used cds for roughly 45 min. Little by little, I realized I was feeling very nauseous; the incense was particularly strong. In a way, it was a kind of terrible miasma, sapping my strength. The feeling got so bad I staggered out without getting the cd I wanted. The fresh air helped immediately, however that did not stop me from leaning over the dumpster behind the Fetus 2 minutes later horking the most gay pride vomit id ever seen. I think ill stay out of the Fetus for awhile. Still so much day ahead of me...
I found myself at the Super America station not 7 minutes after the Fetus experience. I grabbed a gas station turkey sandwich and a 22 ounce blue raspberry slushy and it was absolutely delicious, as I was ravenously hungry. Feeling better, I made my way to mega media xchange and the computer renaissance to check out the merch. Having blown sufficient time, I made my way back to campus and spoke to my professor. That went well, the research is for the most part a go, so good deal. Then I decided to do yet more with my trip our county's metropolis.
I called one of the three houses I am interested in renting in the near future to schedule a viewing. I ended up having to kill time until 4pm, so I went to see my friend Jim from SCSU to check out the house he is renting. Finally, I was able to look at the house I was looking to rent. Turned out to be pretty awesome, very affordable rent, decent facilities and everything, plus it is very close to campus. Now I only need to contact my three prospective roommates once again to confirm everything and check out a few more. But thats for friday, nooo worries.

Tour de Wobegon

I decided to update earlier than usual, mostly because I know I will have the shrimp fettucini again for dinner, but also because I'm stuck at Schulzeteberg's Hardware for and hour and a half longer than usual waiting for our weekly freight shipment to arrive. Readership, a shocking realization hit me today; I should be taking pictures for this blog! Keep checking back for updates and you may find some pretty pictures to accompany my more interesting food experiences and I suppose whatever else I feel like putting on here. In any case, my dad, brother and I biked into work today: a grueling 20 miles to the hamlet of Melrose. In anticipation for this, I ate a bowl of "tootie fruitis", the malt-o-meal mimic of fruit loops. This so called "breakfast" held me over until we reached the hamlet and we got some solid 'fast, or subway breakfast subs.
Lets be real here, pretty much any subway sandwich slathered in southwest sauce seems superb, but their breakfast subs are especially good. Pretty much just add lettuce, tomato, onions and green peppers to a ham and egg sub to get my ideal composition. These really hit the spot after a long bike in though.
I've decided its my responsibility as owner of this here blog to check out all the latest celebrations and their unique foods this summer in order to keep things interesting. I am in the process of making up a schedule of events I will attend, so that you may follow wildanimals1997 on his quest to experience food! Just as you've always dreamed of. Look for that in coming updates and also more pictures! In addition, I plan on making a trip to the spam museum in Austin, MN. It will be my third such trip, so expect a spam-themed update soon as well! over and out.

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.

Vitamin Water

No, my faithful readership, I did not drink vitamin water today and nor shall you...ever. I am proposing a boycott on the dastardly product until they rethink their ad campaign, as it seriously bothers me. So, there you have it, if you've seen the commercials, you know what I'm talking about. I thank you in advance for your support. Now, onto what I ate. I began the day with a bowl of lucky charms, woo, exciting, right? Thats why you're reading, my valued reader. For lunch, I was fortunate enough to be in the Melrose area. Thats right, I ate El Portal for lunch. Better yet, it was Thursday, taco buffet day, for all those who do not know. The delicious, made-from-scratch tacos was truly something to "write home about" or in this case, the blog. You know, I'm not even going to try to explain it. My vocabulary, the English language even, cannot explain the sheer greatness I taste when I eat their tacos. The day was concluded with the consumption of some shrimp fettuccine my mother made. Very good as well, however a good measure of pickles and mint ice cream balanced the meal out. In other news, I found a nickel when I was working today. This will most surely effect the results of the mid-term elections. Come to think of it, I have not deposited that nickel into my piggy bank yet...to the bank! Thats all, prized readership, thanks for reading, over and out.

German Food?!

Yes you heard me right, I did say German food. However, that was dinner, you will have to wait through breakfast and lunch first, you little eager devils, you. Got up this mornin' and i had a bowl of lucky charms. nothing really surprising, however I found myself wondering why the marshmallows in the cereal were so small. Back in my day, they were roughly the size of a dime each, now they're at least half the size. One more example of The Man taking away our right to delicious marshmallow goodness. Food for thought, so to speak. Anyways, lunch was rather boring, even by my standards. Basically I found an old hot dog in the fridge, so i heated that up and ate that. However this was not nearly enough, so I also had a slice of sausage tombstone pizza i found in the fridge. Then, after playing Resident Evil 5 for a couple hours, my brohter calls me and asks if i want to meet him at Charlie's Cafe for dinner. I know that wedensdays are German nights at Charlie's so, as you can imagine, I'm super excited. We ordered the "Große Platte", which was all of the German meats, including but not limited to, sauerbraten, wienerschnitzel, bratwurst and eisbein, and all four sides they offered, including sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, red cabbage and spaetzel. There were seven meats in all and let me tell you what, that was some good eating. The spaetzel was tender and chewy, the wienerschnitzel was juicy and cooked to perfection, the sauerbraten was sweet and flavorful. Just thinking about it gives me chills. Highly recommended, i give it 5/5. Oh, and have you guys heard about the situation with Israel and the flotilla? Wow, all I can say is we have to stop funding Israel. They simply need to know that the industrialized world does not want them with the heel of their boot on Palestine. Why? because that is the single greatest cause of hatred aimed against the west in the middle east. As long as the European nations and the United states supports Israel in its shameless oppression of Palestine, we will encounter endless resistance in the middle east. If this can be remedied, then it will be a giant leap towards reconciliation and peace in that war-torn region. Well, thats whats on my plate today, thanks for reading, if anyone really does, but oh well. Feel free to post comments about anything discussed hereabouts.

Exciting!

woke up this mornin', had myself big bowl of chile and rice from a couple days ago. put some cheese in there as well, turned out to be pretty darn good. Let my brother eat the last half of my rueben from Applebees because it was kinda meh. but enough of that, this is about what I eat! finally, for dinner i had a couple slices of frozen pizza: sausage and supreme. It was great, hit the spot by all means, but i had been looking forward to some kind of shrimp meal because my mom had left out a bag of frozen shrimp to thaw...guess that will have to be for another day. also, im considering making some kind of chicken stir-fry tomm because i found a crap ton of chicken breast in my freezer. Ill just need to grab a few of the vegetables from dahlin's... that sounds good to me. sorry, only two meals for you today, ill try to eat three, maybe even four tommorow, science willing.

1st!

so, lets get down to business. today, i started out on a large bowl of reese's pieces. It was one of the most delicious things i have ever ate. that is until lunch rolled along. then i ate some blts my mom made. sooo good. the bacon was so supple and great. then, well, here's the kicker, we ate at applebee's. im not exagerating, i did not enjoy my rueben i got at that establishment, it was too freaking big. otherwise, it wasint too bad. but i wasint that hungry, so yeah. then, when i was laning at the ehlichman residence, i ate a holiday breakfast sandwich from, you guessed it, holiday. It was the best thing i ate all day, which is pretty good, because it was at like 1230 am. then i got some arizona green tea. gooood stuff, only a dollar. FTW. that is all. give me money to keep brightening your days with my engaging discussion at you. questions and comments are encouraged, as well as cash.
