Gold Peak is at the low end of the packaged iced tea hierarchy.

Why am I discussing this beverage? Because it was in the small $8 Arnold Palmer at the State Fair, combined with a store-bought lemonade. I'm glad I didn't get the $15 watermelon Palmer. The grilled peach is a brilliant invention, expertly prepared for the second year in a row, and I'm not sure how many points should be taken off for something that isn't part of the day-to-day activities. But I don't want an $8 beverage that's 50% Gold Peak, especially from a place with farm-to-table vibes. I don't think state fair drinks have to be exclusively made with filtered rainwater from Grand Marais, but let customers choose whether to pay extra for the good stuff or just get a Pepsi.

I love being able to pick up the random things I need like a jar of local honey or peanut butter. It's also great because you can also do a real purposeful trip here and get pretty much everything you'd need from dairy products, produce, dry foods, meats, etc. They also have great seasonal produce, I've picked up pomegranates here and they have a huge pumpkin and squash collection! I think this is also a nice spot if you're looking for a gift, they've got some novelty things like stickers, mugs, and dish towels. Staff is always nice and there is no credit card minimum. COVID-19 Note: staff is always wearing a mask from what I've seen!

We needed up getting all kinds of random stuff for our kitchen and from my hubby's classroom. I think we spend 2 hours looking around. Checking out, the two women were lovely.

Dropped by for the Eagan Market Fest at the Eagan Community Center (select Wednesdays), but I was a…read morebit early for doors so I decided to go exploring the surrounding park grounds. It's not much in the way of hiking, as the longest path/loop is only a mile long and fully paved with asphalt, but it's got a lot of amenities that would make for an excellent visit during warmer months. This includes a kid's playground, an extensive fitness zone, a splash pad (with toilets and water fountain-- not operating during winter), a bandshell, and a sizable festival grounds. On the other end of the park (near Pilot Knob) there's a gazebo structure with more seasonal restrooms/water fountain, with a multitude of picnic tables, trash/recycling, and grills that would be excellent for outdoor get-togethers. There is parking at both this location and by the splash pad, as well as the massive lot attached to the community center. There's a couple small lakes and plenty of trees, so it's a nice little retreat (even if right across the street is a massive outdoor shopping center...).

Now, they like to work out at the Core Valley area (we call it Ninja Warrior Park), while I walk the lovely trails around the pond area. The band shell has some free performances sometimes. My fav feature is the cute gazebo and bridge next to the pond. A very well thought out park for so many uses, including art fairs, food truck fairs, a weekly farmer's market and even a huge July 4th celebration. The Eagan Community Center building is conveniently located the middle of the park.

I was hoping to find a couple of new cheeses I'd seen on social media, and sure enough, they had them and several other tasty-looking things as well. It was busy on a Saturday but there was no line, so I was in and out fast. Note that like other stores in Minnesota, the alcohol section is in a separate area with its own checkout. My husband checked that out and found some stuff to try, too.

So we walked around the food court area, most of the stalls were closed. I appreciated the variety of eateries available. We spent time browsing the mini grocery area, where they sell various interesting items such as honey comb and Turkish delight. My friend bought dried chamomile flowers in bulk to make tea. It was only a quarter the price of buying chamomile tea bags! In the building were some interesting art sculptures. I really like mixed use spaces like this.

Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

As I heard the cashier say to a new customer, "We do it a bit different here"…read more Aldi is a low cost grocer. They aren't trying to replace Whole Foods or your local specialty grocery store. They are going after those of us that value price above all else. They have most of the staples but not all of them. They offer some name brands randomly but mostly they have house brands you have never heard of. Some people like to harp on the quality of the goods here. In my experience this is complete nonsense. I have been shopping at Aldi on and off for about 2 years and never have I bought a product I thought was inferior to what I've purchased at Cub Foods, Kowalskis, Wal-Mart, or Trader Joes for that matter. The prices really are cheaper. Many packages are smaller, but you can do the numbers yourself and you will find that the value exists. They save a bit by adding in some quirky bits you may be thrown off by. For example: 1.You need a quarter for a deposit on your cart 2.They charge for any bags 3.The cashier will not bag and will instead put your items right back in your cart for you to bag 4.They don't carry every little item that costs them extra to carry. Overall, I like the convenience and prices here. No frills shopping with quality products. Give it a try but bring an open mind!
