We think that Paul must have drank some spoiled milk or something... he's being awfully easy on us today! First, he let us sleep in (by our definition!) and come in at 8:45 am instead of 7 or 7:30. It was amazing. Then, he's told us to go home after our Montana Made meeting this afternoon to start the weekend early!
Montana Made is a concept in which a product must be grown and manufactured within the state of Montana. It never crosses the state line. Why local? It is supposed to increase the long term sustainability of the state and increase the economy of Montana. In addition, it may help provide fresher food. MSU currently uses 10% of its total food budget on Montana Made products. Mecca, a volunteer at the university, is pushing for more Montana Made products and is currently designing a program to make ordering these products more simple. She had a cutting today of about 20 products to possibly introduced in the fall. I sampled 4 types of hamburger today, which is more hamburger than I have eaten since the days that my dad could trick me into thinking it was ground t-bone. Ha-ha. She also had several types of steak, fish, soups, lentil salads, and granola. Most of it was pretty delicious.
Tonight, I went to Shakespeare in the Parks with Rachael. Every year, a group travels around Montana and does free shows! We saw The Merry Wives of Windsor. It was a lot of fun and absolutely packed.
