10 Things from Madison

 

Sticker at Madison Sourdough

J. and I did an impromptu overnight in Madison/Verona.  Here are 10 Things Worth Remembering

  1. Found a new bakery with great sourdough: Origin Bread. When we got home, we had it for dinner -- naturally leavened whole wheat.  We looked online and found that it's near MSD and that they have a Wednesday night pizza party with a nearby brewery.  (That pizza would go well before a trip to the observatory, which is also open on select Wednesday nights.)
  2. Molasses cookies at MSD. (I would like to try making these)
  3. J's quiche at MSD -- with roasted squash in it (we'll be getting lots of squash soon from CSA)
  4. Running group, good hearted and friendly - after their run- at Alice Good Coffee.  In fact, lots of positive, good vibe groups there.  One young woman with several Ironman tattoos... incredibly fit.
  5. Very big middle eastern food store by Shoreview; also a kitchen appliance/ knife sharpening store
  6. Midvale avenue... small, neat homes.  Shoreview: Glencoe feel
  7. Picnic point - lots of college joggers, lots of young families, great views toward campus and capital, fire pits that are stocked by the city (or university)
  8. Regular Willie Street Co-op buys: Wonderstate coffee, MSD bread, Origin bread, bulk bulger, bulk barley
  9. Young homeless people encamped at the university (by the weird humanities building)
  10. Elevated shade at Olbrich Botanic Gardens by learning center, elevated shade at student union
