On the Far Side of Town

Nearly every small town town in Mn has a supper club in a field just outside of town. It is the place that everyone goes to on special occasions, and on saturday nights. People think it is fancy. It has cloth napkins. The menu generally includes steak, breaded butterflied shrimp, and fettucine alfredo w/ chicken and maybe shrimp. There may be a caesar salad with iceberg lettuce. If it is good real food you are after, you are better off to have a homemade meatloaf at the cafe in town, if they make their own mashed potatoes and gravy(usually from a bag or mix). You are probably better off to eat at home, if you can cook, but sometimes it is nice to go out if someone else is paying for it and it is a business Christmas party. You would not want to pay for it yourself because who wants to pay for an iceberg lettuce caesar and bagged alfredo sauce.

Where does this come from? On Monday I was w/ a group of people just outside of town( Little Falls) at a supper club in a field. It could have been anywhere, really. I am glad someone else paid for it. I did enjoy the company.
