Way to go Lars!

Every now and then a person tastes something that far exceeds one's expectations (like the rice filled grape leaves at Wooly's Drive In this afternoon).

Lars must know his spices. Unlike many Swedes, Lars knows better than to skimp with them.

Get Thyself over to Riverview Place. Ask for Lars' Ginger Snaps. Forget about what they cost. If, like most of us, you have little wherewithal tell Marlys where you heard about them and ask her for your 56572 discount.

Then get Thyself over across Broadway (jaywalking OK if none of 56572's finest are in sight) to Riverside Coffee (now open Mondays including Memorial Day) for a Scandinavian Blend.

Take both outside on the deck, pull up a chair and watch the river flow. Var så god!
