Stealth post from work...

Last night was fun. I even wore makeup. If you saw me you might have mistaken me for a grown up!
Jeanine's boss is a big appetizer fan so he just ordered two of each appetizer. I tried most of them, even the escargot... Yup, that's right. hellziggy ate snails. I just didn't think about what they were and they had lots of butter and garlic. For the main course I had pheasant stuffed with wild rice, and it was GOOD!
The mansion that was converted to the restaurant is supposed to be haunted. A maid named Molly hung herself from the chandelier we were sitting right under, but none of us saw or felt the ghost.

Forepaugh's
276 S. Exchange St., St. Paul; 224-5606

Molly doesn't want to leave. And frankly, who can blame her? One moment she's the life of the household, living in a mansion on gorgeous Irvine Park, surrounded by finery and luxury, the apple of her rich, though moody, lover's eye--the next she's abandoned. Her lover and employer, Joseph Forepaugh, a 19th-century dry-goods baron, committed suicide, and left his upstairs maid with few options, her beloved home on the auction block. So Molly did what any sensible 19th-century heroine would do--she hanged herself from a chandelier and turned into St. Paul's most frolicsome ghost.
