As I said earlier, I moved back to MN after 10 years living in other states and countries.
Tonight I was taking the trash out around 5PM and saw the most beautiful fuschia clouds stretched out against a gorgeous azul sky. I don't think I've ever seen those same colors occur together anywhere but here. My neighbors probably were wondering what the heck I was staring at for so long out there. :D
Now, as I type this, I'm smelling the rich aroma of homemade beer cheese soup. I could have made this any other place I've lived, but never had the urge to. I remember talking about missing this soup to friends of mine and they were so grossed out by the thought of a soup made from cheese and beer! Guess its just for us hardy upper midwest people, huh?
Somehow the two of these seem to fit perfectly together. And people wonder why I moved back here :huh:

Ahh made me warm and fuzzy thinking about it :) :) :)

another Minnesota thing is beer batter walleye !!!! :lol:
