The Feedbag

This picture was taken while I was driving a car, as I passed by...of all things....Old Country Buffet.  It's not that amazing, but I did just arrive in Madison, WI on my way to SD so we can let my dad's ashes go.....and while passing through, I randomly drive by one of these Old Country Buffets. He loved his buffets, and would always look forward to it by saying "You ready to put the ol' feedbag on??"  Honesty, I don't even know where that expression comes from...I've never heard anyone else say it, except for him-and it would always come with his laugh at himself.  I think it's one of the major areas I was a disappointment to him, because I was a one-plate girl.  I remember going in there with him twice, and both times-he gave me that teasing look of disappointment when I told him I was done after my one little plate.  I think it's one of the qualities he loved about one of my girlfriends, because she could hang with him when it came to food.  I wish they had their chance to do their "Old Country Buffet" thing.  I will always think of him for as long as these joints last.  Maybe one day I'll go back in, when they have a vegetarian-friendly option.
