Double Takes

lol.  I'd rather her send the money than the cheddar. 

[Sis]

All they had for cheese curds was cheddar. No thanx. Holding out for the white cheese.

AHH!  Gotcha.  That's probably why I didn't know about the mozarella curds

Will see if I can find some for ya.

[Sis]

I should have asked Kris loooong time ago.

[almondjoy]

Are they white cheddar? or Mozzarella?

[iridiscente]

lol... Mozzarella is my favorite cheese.

[almondjoy]

Mine too...especially IF it's fresh

[Ashlee]

Yep.  Fresh from Sonic.  lol

*smile*  this has evolved into quite the conversation!  i LOVE cheese curds and didn't even know that frying them was something people did except at the fair or at Culver's.  it's like fresh balls of cheese and they do squeak, but it's not strange or anything.  it's like you expect a cracker to crunch, well you expect cheese curds to squeak.  i get them fresh from a cheese factory in thorp sometimes when i go with my kids. 

you know, something about WI cheese you just can't quite get anywhere else.  even just across the border in MN, the cheese isn't quite the same.  i know that CA is actually the largest producer of dairy products, but . . . i don't know . . .maybe it's the way my brain is wired, but i just think it's fresher in WI.

and yes, we will get a pic of aaron and the spoon and the don't climb on the sculptures sign. 

i LOVE downtown and will gladly be the tour guide.  (and on your left is the gold medal flour mill and on your right is st. anthony falls, the only waterfall on the mississippi river.  just beyond is the never ending bridge . . . . this is the mary tyler moore statue which depicts mary's famous hat throwing of the sitcom and here is macy's.  they have a wonderful display for christmas . . . . )

don't even get me started on book stores.

I can't wait!   

[SippinTea]

Cheese curds are wonderful!

Just thought I'd add my vote.

And Kris, whenever I get around to visiting you, I expect a grand tour of ALL the bookstores in the area. *grin*

Don't forget Daytons at Christmas. Have you ever been there? The few days after Christmas are the best time. Not so many crowds.  On (I think it's the 8th floor) they choose a story, and you walk on a path through the story. The maniquins are about 3/4 real size. You have different scenes depicting the different parts of the story.

I've seen Several of them. Stories like the Little Shoemaker, Grinch, Mother Goose Stories, etc.  It's awsome and worth it. It's also free. There are at least 20 - 30 scenes, I think.

It's not just for kids. Stevebert and I used to go every year until we moved. I miss that part of the holidays.

[iridiscente]

Wow, that sounds like a great place to visit!

[almondjoy]

That does sound neat.

[sunlight]

i'm going... :grin: One day soon!

[iridiscente]

Take me and Ariel toooo!

i'm going... :grin: One day soon!

Or we'll take YOU!

[Sis]

Here are some scenes from the Dayton shows. Pardon quality of the pics they are from my old camera before it died.

Scenes from the Grinch show, The Nutcracker, and Scrooge.

[almondjoy]

Those are neat.

[Sis]

Well, you need to plan to go to Daytons during the Christmas season. (Daytons is the parent company of Target Stores)

[almondjoy]

I'm game.  It's just convincing Aaron to go.   

[Sis]

Ah go without him. Let's all meet at Daytons the day after Christmas.  The next thing to do after the end of the storyland is to go to the floor with the Christmas stuff half price. I THINK that's on the 4th floor. Some awsome stuff.

[almondjoy]

Shopping the day after Christmas?!?!?!

Only CRAZY people do that! I must be crazy cuz I'm one of em (sometimes)

[Sis]

For some reason, it's not a madhouse at Daytons. They're all at Target and Walmart, I guess. There are a few more people than usual, but not nuts.  I guess not too many people go to downtown Minneapolis when they're not working.

Oh, BTW   ~LOCKED~
