We’re baaa-aaack

 Seriously, though. The only food places I truly missed during the panny were my favorite greasy spoon diner and the Elks Lodge. I clearly have a super refined and sophisticated palate. 

The kids and I have been to Mickie’s, and finally! Ben was re-instated as an  Elk (dumb to let his membership lapse in retrospect), and we wasted no time eating their Friday (by ourselves) and Saturday (with the kids). It was exactly as I remembered! Pull tabs! REALLY strong and delicious old fashioneds. Delightful WI supper club ambiance. Perfect lake views. You get the idea.







Also, Friday was my first Friday fish fry in my entire 20 years of Wisconsin living. WHAT?!

I think we’re taking the littles back this Friday— can’t stop/won’t stop, etc.

(Those half-drunk old fashioneds are to show you that’s ALL THE COCKTAIL I CAN HANDLE).

  1. Sarah! Your hair--esp. in photo #3 looks amazing. Also, it took me a while to get that there the pictures are from multiple days--I was trying to figure out the different collars on Ben. That's a great color, BTW.

  4. I haven't been to a fish fry in far too long, although admittedly I usually go for the baked option. Mm... Had to laugh at the Elks, though, as that makes me think of my mom's brother and brother-in-law. Both members, which meant our family had LOTS of wedding- and retirement-related gatherings at the Elks over the years. :)
