Is Dairy Queen fast food?

My family joined the ranks of the minivan crowd this weekend. I was unsure, but it's great, lots of room and looks nice too.

To celebrate, we hit Dairy Queen. It never even occurred to me, or to my wife and kids - or else they kept their mouth shut for fear their ice cream itch might not get scratched - that DQ would count as fast food. But of course it does. So, again dear friends, I have fallen. But I choose to look at it this way: I have eaten a lot less fast food the past three weeks than I would have normally has I not given it up for Lent. So I'm still on the plus side of the equation. And that Midnight Truffle Blizzard was sure good.

P.S. My son Tyler deserves a big shout-out. He gave up pop (soda) of any kind for Lent and has done better at that than I have done at fast food.

Good job T, love ya.
