Of course from scratch, who would want canned raccoon?!

Well, I must say the raccoon was really something. It tasted like a cross between corned beef and lamb, and it was so tender! I got the spine! And the drinks were cheap - $2.50 for a whiskey sour, albeit with Squirt instead of lemon juice, but whatever. The meal was quite good but I didn't stick around for dessert; the crowd was so big and the seating arrangement so tight that I was getting freaked out. Plus the car decided to clunk on the last leg of my trip. I think that was our last road trip, but it was a tasty one. And Woodman's, oh, now I see what all the fuss is about. My God, look at all that cheese!

It was nice to meat you, Mike G, and where were you, Cathy2?

Hi,

I appears we arrived just after you left.

Prior to our arrival, I was in Milwaukee having lunch at Jake's, bought some chocolate at Northern Chocolate, visited Usinger's to buy sausage seconds and checked out The Spice House's Milwaukee location.

If my gps didn't send us around the block a few too many times, we very likely would have been there in time to see you.

We also stopped by Woodman's to pick up a few things for the second day in a row. On Friday night, I had a pizza at Zaffiro's.

Need to go back to Milwaukee soon simply to carve out some new places to eat. At least for a while, some favorites have been revisited and my desire sated.

Regards,

Hi,

I'm bringing my cooler for stops at Usingers on the way there. Maybe some ice cream on the way back will make its way in there. As for 'coon, most definitely bringing some home for feasting another day.

HI,

The cultural connection between Delafield, WI and Chicago: http://www.wbez.org/blog/louisa-chu/2012-01-26/85th-annual-coon-feed-95828

If I wasn't working that night, I'd go for sure. Those were some tasty vittles.

Good times, great company, and quite tasty little critters those coons are.
Furthermore, I got a chance to meet a few more LThers.
Always a very friendly and welcoming bunch.

Coon, hash, and eggs would make a killer breakfast.

Does anyone know the date of the 2014 dinner? I told my father-in-law and he's raring to go.

It is always the last Saturday in January.

Not sure if anyone from here still goes to these but I heard about it here and have been there every year for some time now. It is a real slice of Americana. And who doesn't like a meat raffle that benefits a good cause?

I recall Josephine winning a five-pound bologna, then immediately handed it off to me. I never ate so much bologna in my life.

Thank you for the reminder!
