3 cheers to shuggie who claimed first prize at the 12th annual great pupkin dog costume contest yesterday. the crowd broke out into a roar as shuggie, led by brice and sydney, walked across the stage in front of the judges. it was undoubtedly the most creative, inventive and detailed costume. bravo brice!
i stumbled across a cute site called my parents were awesome where
people submit photos of their parents pre “fanny packs and andrea bocelli concerts”
in the spirt of the site, i challenge you
to send me your favorite parental snap, to be posted on lateblooms
the sign holders, the coffee sippers, the music makers, the cheerers, the admirers, the baby toters, the supporters, the photographers, the water givers, the awe struck, the runners, the new yorkers. you just can’t beat the new york city marathon.
in mexico, vw bugs are a dime a dozen. after snapping this baby blue, i had a brief idea to photograph a series of bugs, creating an exhibit or blog dedicated to the little buggers. being in mexico on my honeymoon has its distractions, therefore this photograph steals the spotlight. beep beep until next time in zihau.
maybe you’ll visit in september?
squeaky good

this post explores the age old question of: what the heck is a cheese curd? cheese curds is cheddar cheese in its natural, random shape and form, before being processed into blocks. this regional phenomeon started with wisconsin cheese makers taking handfuls of the morsels home to their children. i experienced this first hand in madison, wisconsin this weekend.
it began with a trip to the farmer’s market where i sampled many a curd, and my husband purchased several bags for friends. i learned that the orange color associated with cheese curds is really a dye; the natural color is white. later i learned that cheese curds that are fried and dipped in horseradish sauce is the most decadent and divine snack ever created. we tried this delicacy at the old fashioned , a jamming restaurant near the capitol. the bartender described them as fried mozzarella sticks, but better. indeed. we should have stopped here, but alas our meal was on the way – chili (served over spaghetti) and bratwurst. but no need to dwell on this over-indulgent, calorie infested meal…
let’s face it, sconnies love cheese, and who can blame them? whether it’s cheese curds in a plastic bag or artisinal cheeses from fromagination , it’s all delicious. just one of the many reasons why i love wisconsin.
