I'm surprised Milwaukee is on the list. I have lived here my whole life and I think it's pretty nice. And I do travel, I've visited MANY other cities. Weird. Whatever.

Made it this week. I browned some chicken breast (all I had) with the onion, used diced frozen veggies, and added a pinch of herbs de provence since I had no sherry. STILL turned out delicious. My picky kids gobbled it up. Thanks!!

Thanks for another installment. It's the only way I get a glimpse of my cousin Kate's life since I can't find her on Facebook ;) (Hi from Milwaukee!)

We bought a Sony Bluray player with streaming capabilty and a wireless router. Canceled cable and now we only pay for internet ($35/m) and Netflix streaming ($8/m). We watch movies and occasional TV shows (Breaking Bad) on Netflix and a lot of PBS with our antenna. Netflix has plenty of things for the kids and we will get DVDs for free from the library once in a while. It's been 6 months and we still don't miss cable!

I recently bought some soup mix from the bulk bins at my local co-op grocery. It was corn chowder and DELICIOUS when rehydrated with boiling water for 5 minutes. They've got hummus mix and other little things that would be lightweight. I bet Whole Foods has these, too.
