Moving On
Due to the economy (and other unfortunate things) most of our original group of friends in Madison have left the Dairyland. In the past month (and within the next week) three couples and their children have moved to New Hampshire, St Louis, and next week, Ohio. We’ll miss our dinner parties and all together fun times we shared here, but now we have new cities to explore.
Oh, the cow in the meadow goes “moo”!
One of the benefits to living the capitol of America’s Dairyland is the yearly farmers market event called Cows on the Concourse. Last year our friends Sean and Brian were here the weekend the cows took over the Capitol Square. (And if you remember, Sean asked how you tell the gender of a cow. Poor Sean.)
Besides getting to pet the cows (and calves) the best thing about the event are the grilled cheese sandwiches. Did you know, over 90% of Wisconsin milk goes directly to cheese? Not to mention, Wisconsin cheeses have been winning awards for years. (I say this to persuade you to avoid the “product” that California considers cheese). Now, let me tempt you with another photograph. If you come visit us in June, you too can have a tasty Wisconsin cheese sandwich hot off the grill while watching the cows who probably contributed their milk to the process.
Hope to see you soon!
Abundance
We harvested our garlic. And I am reminded of a favourite quote:
If everyone ate more garlic, the world would be a happier place.

hi.
I returned last week from my business trip to Montréal. I presented my research at a dairy science conference and am pleased to tell you that my fear of public speaking has diminished a bit.
I took a lot of photographs. Here are some to whet your appetite:
Montréal is such a photogenic city. I think I would like to visit again. (And maybe to have another cupcake … or two).
