Lou’s Parents Visit (And Learn) Maine!
My parents are visiting me this week from my hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho! This is only their second time in Maine and their first time staying in Portland, so the natural thing to do was make them experience a (literal) taste of Lou Learns Maine. Since they're only here a short while, we hit them hard with the two Maine things I had the strongest reaction to: Moxie (hate it) and Red Hot Dogs (love 'em!)
My mom's reaction to the Moxie was what we all think when we try what Lori calls the medicinal Dr. Pepper:
"I think I like it! ... ...Oh."
