All Things Wisconsin

Having been a Wisconsinite 2 years now, I am coming to understand traditions run thick and deep in this part of the U.S. of A. People live and die by their Packers, cheese and cabin "up north". And beer and cheese and cabin "up north". When we first arrived in 2007 we were quickly introduced to the concept of the weekly Friday Fish Fry. A tradition so tried and true, no outsider would dare have the audacity to question it. Very soon after (and largely against our better judgement) the words "Culvers" and "Butterburger" worked their way into our vocabulary.

I clearly remember driving past Culvers in those early weeks and laughing at their signboards each Friday night. As weeks have turned into months, and now years, I recently realized those same signboards barely cause me to blink any longer. Culvers regularly offers frozen custard in vanilla and chocolate plus the "Flavor of the Day". Therefore, on any given Friday, your tastebuds can be tempted with magnificent tantilizing treats such as: Peanut Butter Cup & Walleye; Reese's Pieces & Shrimp; Snicker Swirl & Cod Dinners. Oh yeh, "Hit the brakes, Honey! We're goin' in!!!"

Tonight I saw it again, for the first time. Feast your eyes, it's Friday in Wisconsin!!!
