Pretty terrible game and not much pagentry for their 25th home opener, but the people in the fancy section next to us got cotton candy in champagne glasses. 😂

#MnWild home opener day!

And my #DelightOfTheDay is the Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout from Bad Weather Brewing.

I had a tiel who LOVED peas. I made her eat them in a dish towel and she wasn't allowed to move off the towel until I wiped her face...because she would fly to my shoulder and rub her pea face behind my ear. 😂

Either way is probably fine. They may have places to get food in bulk at a better rate. Or they may know they need more of a specific variety.
