This is Wisconsin viagra. 

I am going to try my hand a baking a pie this summer. I normally would not attempt this as I usually have identified a good pie place close to my home. In college I was a few blocks away from Monty’s Blue Plate Diner and I was never in want of a excellent piece of pie. But where I am now it seems that the baking of…

It looks like a gaping wound someone forgot to stitch up. 

Its not that the desiccant is toxic, it is just the the environment the silica pack was in when it was packaged with, lets say shoes, is different from the cleanliness that was in a beef jerky production facility. If someone at the shoe factory drops a silica pack on the ground it is still ok to use in the shoe box.…

I am curious how you dry out silica in the plastic or tyvek pouches? I know how to dry our clay desiccants in kraft pouches but not silica in poly pouches.

Acknowledging a Super Bowl when the Packers aren’t in it is a flogging offense around these parts. 

Now we need to get some boxes of Matilda Bay back to wash these down. 

I work in the packaging industry and there are 2 things you need to know:

Is it ok if you pay the person helping you?

I read things like this and for the life of me I can’t understand why anyone signs up for the military. 

I had an idea to use seasonally closed restaurants around where I live (Wisconsin) but there isn’t enough demand for delivery in my area. 

At the price it makes the “Steak on a stake” served at the ren faire look like a value. 

Not sure if these are what we call a Starling up here in Wisconsin? The Starling was one of my late Grandfathers greatest enemy’s as they messed up his bird feeders and chased away the smaller birds. He took to shooting them with a Pellet gun until the the local police stopped by and said “Norman, you can’t be…

Um, where’s the recipe for Grackle pie?

I actually go so far as to make pictures in the tots to correspond with the event, season or holiday. This last weekends tater tot bake had tots arranged in a heart shape. I figure Valentines was close enough and I didn’t want anyone to think it was ground hog tater tot bake.

I drank gallons of this when my family owned a tavern in the 80's. Normally it was just 7-up, grenadine and a cherry but one of our bartenders (Rick who had big side burns and a camaro as any good small town Wisconsin dive bartender should) added a splash of bar sour and that made all the difference. Or maybe it was…

See, if I pay someone to cook a steak for me I expect it to be done correctly. I wouldn’t accept an almost job from any other professional service provider. Usually they aren’t even close. I dont go to chain places for steak anymore so I don’t have the problem.  

My ex wife had a fondness for chain steak places (Why?) and the funny thing about these chains is they rarely get their temps right. She would order hers well done (this should have been a red flag but I married her anyway) and I would ask for medium rare. 90% of the time I got an overcooked steak. At first I would…

Limburger cheese would be a contender as Wisconsin is the only state it is made in. 

I hear the argument all the time that Old Farmer Joe has been drinking raw milk all his life and he is fine so it must be safe. Good Grief
