- 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.)
- Molasses cookies at MSD. (I would like to try making these)
- J's quiche at MSD -- with roasted squash in it (we'll be getting lots of squash soon from CSA)
- 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.
- Very big middle eastern food store by Shoreview; also a kitchen appliance/ knife sharpening store
- Midvale avenue... small, neat homes. Shoreview: Glencoe feel
- 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)
- Regular Willie Street Co-op buys: Wonderstate coffee, MSD bread, Origin bread, bulk bulger, bulk barley, bulk spices (chili powder)
- Young homeless people encamped at the university (by the weird humanities building)
- Elevated shade at Olbrich Botanic Gardens by learning center, elevated shade at student union
- UWM Arboretum Trails
Calendar
May
World's Largest Brat Fest, May 23-25, Willow Island at the Alliant Center: Last year’s fest was heavily rained on; everyone’s hoping for better weather this time around. This local charity fundraiser is the unofficial kickoff to summer, with the brats and hot dogs $5 each and parking and music absolutely free. The traditions kick in early on Friday with “Take Your Brat to Work Day” from 6-9 a.m., when you can buy enough brats to feed your office. “Only in Wisconsin can you drive up to a grill at 6 a.m. and grab a bag of brats,” as the promo material says, and that’s probably true. Band highlights include headliners Winger (8 p.m. May 23, pinch hitting for an ill Ace Frehley), country star Tyler Farr (8 p.m. May 24) and Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses (8 p.m. May 25…and preceded by Digital Underground!) along with plenty of local acts. Plus kids’ activities, cornhole, volleyball, giant Jenga and more. Full schedule at bratfest.com.
