Enjoy this blog about the recent Progressive Dinner in Mounds Park, Saint Paul. Learn about the dirtiest, sluttiest appetizer ever created: the mini Monte Cristo. @moundsparkgarden.com www.nathanielbarber.com/blog/mounds-... #SaintPaul #StPaul #Minnesota #ProgressiveDinner #Food #CommunityGarden

When people may have a hard time finding your event, it's a good idea to make them a terrible sign so they know for certain, they're on the right track.

Celebrating new members tonight at the Fraternal Order of Eagles. I challenge you to find a finer spread in Minnesota tonight. #midwest #minnesota #feed #FOE

This queso dip with shredded beef was the shit. I must’ve eaten two pounds of the stuff!

Waiter, I would like to partake in a piece of your pecan pie.

Meatballs, potato salad, and even more queso dip. The pictures don’t do the food justice, it was fabulous and deadly.

My Monte Cristo balls were a smash hit at the Mounds Park progressive dinner. Must’ve been the special ingredients. 🤔

Deep fried to perfection: Monte Cristo balls sprinkled with powdered sugar on a table next to the blueberry rhubarb jam topping.

Any ingredient list with the ingredients for the Montecristo balls with white bread, ham cheese, turkey, mustard mayonnaise, a blueberry, rhubarb jam, and just a little sprinkle of cocaine.

Appetizer prototype: the Monte Cristo. Verdict, the most delicious way to commit death.

White bread, mayo, mustard, layers of ham, turkey, and American cheese. I challenge you to find a more unhealthy sandwich.

Trying different sizes, quarters and sixths.

Deep fried, add a poof of powdered sugar, a scoop of blueberry rhubarb jam.

1/🧵 My #RTO routine: - Bike ride to work: $0 spent on public transit - Bike parking: $0 spent on car parking, gas - Coffee from home: $0 spent at coffee shop - Leftovers for lunch: $0 spent in restaurant - Bike ride home: $0 spent on public transit - No happy hour: $15-$30 saved

A bike with the Minnesota state flag on its front bag, locked to a bike rack, indicating money saved on public transit both ways, or parking and gas.

A bowl of granola and a jar of fresh pressed coffee for breakfast indicating neither item was purchased downtown, saving even more money.
