You must really loathe Minneapolis-St. Paul. We now have three stores in
the metro area with the addition of the Savage, MN store.

(I keep asking the owner if they'd carry dried mushrooms. I can only dream

Hey, there's a Dunn Brother's coffee shop near the one in Savage. Give
a shout next time you go to that one -- I'll bring you some homemade jam.
