In the land of "Ja, You Betcha"

[infrogmation]

I'm back in town after my grandmother's funeral up in Minneapolis. One last thing I can thank her for is not dying up there in the depths of winter. And yes, "Fargo" does seem to be an accurate depiction of a common accent up there.

The hotel I stayed at was the Sofitel, which has a French style restaurant. I ordered the scrambled eggs crepe for breakfast. The waitress brought it with a medium sized bowl full of ketchup.

"I brought you some ketchup, just in case."

"Pardon?"

"Ketchup! Just in CASE!"

In probably most of the restaurants here, ketchup is what passes for hot sauce. :) Thank god for immigrants and transplants or there'd be no decent food here. (Well, except for walleye.)
