I distinctly remember coming home from school and laying on the living room floor, doing math homework and watching coverage of the bombings. I also remember (weirdly) being every so slightly glad that this event would overshadow the fact that April 19 was the birthday of a girl who didn’t invite me to her birthday…

Sprouts are also awesome roasted with chunks of butternut squash. Toss the warm veggies in a homemade djion vinagarette (olive oil, rice wine vinegar and dijon mustard) and a handful of craisins. Sometimes a bit of cooked Italian sausage if I’m feeling wild and crazy. It’s my go-to lazy dinner during the fall and…

Isn’t it terrifying?? I think they spent too much money on our other famous landmark to worry about things like “accuracy” and “not frightening small children”.

Behold the Bronze Fonz. It is apparently physically impossible to visit Milwaukee without having your picture taken with him.

Dave Holmes wrote a fantastic piece on Esquire this morning. The whole piece is wonderfully written, however the last few lines absolutely destroyed me.

I highly suggest the Fug Girls weekly “Royals Round Up” feature on Fridays for all your hot royals ogling needs. They give serious love to all the royals of Europe and it is a fantastic way to end your week.

You’re exactly right. If you’re under 21 in Wisconsin you can’t go out to a store or bar and purchase alcohol on your own. You can’t even get into a bar if you’re under 21 (unless you’re way up north or something where they completely flaunt any and all rules).

Cream City Custard was replaced by Big Deal Burgers 2 or 3 years ago. Same type of place though. They do some crazy flavors(Rumchata! Fried Mexican Custard! Honey Jack Daniels! Brandy Old Fashioned!) and their fries are amazing. I have an employee who has some sort of connection to the owners and he routinely brings…

Brandy slush! I started on it about 2pm today because my apartment is stupid hot right now and also because I have decided that this is going to be my “summer of zero fucks” and if I want to be lazy and not responsible then I’m going to do it rather than stressing about every stupid thing in my life.

Brandy slush or gtfo.

Cod croquettes (croquetas de bacalao) were solely responsible for at least 5 pounds of the weight I gained while living in Spain. My freezer was basically just stuffed full of bags of croquettes and squid rings and it was amazing.

Helped my sister and future brother-in-law move today and then followed that up by planting my entire balcony garden. My pure exhaustion just let to me spending the past two hours half comatose on a deck chair downing a giant bottle of Stone Brewing’s Sorry Not Sorry peach IPA.

Granted it’s been 10 plus years since I’ve been on campus (visiting friends who went there) but they definitely have a huge presence. The area all along Langdon just up from the capital building is pretty much allllll Greek houses.

The Mars Cheese Castle is one of the 7 Wonders of America’s Dairyland (as decided by me). It is a legit CASTLE and is a glorious wonderland of dairy products, tubed meat and every Wisconsin-made beer you could ever think of. I highly recommend a visit if you’re ever in WI (even if it has been sullied by Ted Cruz).

This gem I picked up at Trader Joe’s. Surprisingly tasty for a $7.99 box ‘o wine. Pairs nicely with a marathon of The First 48 and my couch.

This. I’m always surprised when Summerfest gets left off lists of the best festivals. You can literally attend 11 days of great music for less than what it would cost to go to Coachella or Lolla for even one day. You can park for $15ish (or take a shuttle from pretty much any bar in the metro Milwaukee area). It’s in…

Eaton seems really impartial to the whole situation...

Random, but have you tried Target? I’m a 38DD and I’ve had luck with their Gilligan & OMalley brand. They usually run about $15ish (and are constantly on sale for even cheaper)and last surprisingly long for the price. Tons of cute prints and solids in fun colours.

Right?! I had a little freak out at my desk yesterday when I saw that was where he stopped (We were joking at work that he was going to stop for lunch at La Perla and ride the pepper).

Susan is gorgeous, but I want to be Eva when I grow up. She has a pretty great lifestyle blog and her little family is kind of the most adorable thing ever.
