The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The book was great, hopefully the movie will be also. Don't go often to the movies. The last two I saw were real disappointments. Easier and cheaper to use Red Box. Or, better yet, borrow them from Hedberg Library. I don't have to be the first to see something. Good things are worth waiting for.

Always enjoy your blogs, Steve. You definitely are a "must read". The comments from some readers occasionally make me wince but I am glad that you seem to be able to shrug them off and keep on blogging. Looking forward to the third year of your blogs.

I was there and never will forget it !!! The whole stadium was totally awash in RED ! Nebraska had flown 2 chartered planes to Madison for the game. After the game we ran into several Nebraska fans at a local restaurant. They said they were glad they were wearing red since that way they could blend in with the victorious Badger fans. That was the only game that they lost that year !!!

According to the KBA website,
"A rated output of 75,000 copies per hour has put the KBA Comet way ahead of the field in the global market for two-across, two-around presses."
.
With that amazing speed, it is easy to see why the new press is operating at just 30 percent of its capacity. I'm sure that number will soon be much larger. Great foresight.

One of my favorite soups! Your recipe is similar to mine except that I dice extra vegetables to serve in small bowls at serving time. I also provide a bowl of crispy croutons. People can choose to add whatever they to their soup. Oh dear, this is making me very hungry! :-)))

"fool-on-the-hill" The drive-in near Palmer Park was Jack's Drive-In. Great food. Used to look forward to the carnival that would set up for a week every summer behind the drive-in. Jack also owned another drive-in that is now the Dawg House.
.
The best chocolate malts in town were at Milt's Dairy Bar on Racine St. - now a Dairy Queen. Freddie's restaurant on Main St next to the old Marshall Jr. High had great french fries.
.
The original Frostop where Big Lots is today, had those wonderful, messy Maidrite "burgers". Also had great root beer and what they called "root beer freezes".
.
Knipp's Pizza on River St.had great pizzas. The pizzas at Terrace Diner (in an old railroad car) on Milwaukee Ave. were almost as good. Had my first pizza there.
.
Friday night fish fry at LaPod's, Cronins and Monterey Hotel was always a treat.
Most of all, I miss the Maidrites. I never have been able to recreate them in my own kitchen, in spite of the fact that I used to work there in the summers as a "car hop". Great summer job, lots of free root beer!

Substitute the word "grandma" for grandpa and I could have written this same article. Our traditional Christmas dinner (always at grandparent's house) was lutefisk and spare ribs. There would be what seemed to me a mountain of lefse in the middle of the table. It was always the first thing to be passed around the table. Of course, dessert would include rosettes, fattigmann (Poor Man's Cake) and krumkake.
.
I now am the lefse maker and have taught two of my cousins to make it also. Our first attempt to do it together would have qualified for submission to America's Funniest Videos. And, since I inherited the rosette iron, making those yummy treats has been my job for many years. For some strange reason, nobody in the family has chosen to be the lutefisk maker. Hmmmm :-)))
.
Great food, great memories.
