Big food in Indiana

Indiana ranks as the 8th most obese state in the union. Hmmm...wonder why? Could it be due to the heap of pancakes (with extra butter?)
Or the hamburger so big that it has to be hauled by a truck?
Uncle Kevin set his healthy habits aside and did his best to pack on a couple of pounds while he was visiting. Here he is eating a giant sandwich.
And this was his dessert. Oliver looks a little concerned because he knows what his dad's cholesterol is.

Which brings me to the list of things that I miss in Minnesota. Most of which are food. If you are reading this from the State of Hockey, please do me a favor and go out and eat at least two things on this list.

1. The Cup and Cone

2. JusTruffles from the Chocolate Spoon in White Bear

3. Golden Plump Rotissere Chicken (the ones here aren't nearly as salty and greasy)

4. Taste of Scandinavia breakfast lefse

5. Caribou Coffee

6. Pad Thai from Wild Ginger (and the best spring rolls ever)

7. The lake on a hot summer day

8. The Twins

9. Our membership in our farm co-op

and

10. Our good friends.

I am having a serious Minnesota homesick day and I miss you all so much! Please email if you have a chance!
