Football Saturdays on State Street are an event to see. When there is a home game, “everyone” dresses in the “go Badgers” traditional red, and the streams of red on State Street are a nice sight to see. It can be a bit party like, and also a bit fun and festive. Happily, the Badgers won 28 – 38. Some pictures try to tell some of the story.
Maxwell Street Days on July 19
Maxwell Street Days was probably at its peak on Saturday July 19. Saturday is the day when most people probably had the time to visit the farmer’s market and then attend the event. I was somewhat surprised by the nice crowd.
Farmer’s market on July 19
The farmer’s market last week was nice as usual. I bought two nice bags of greens and two kinds of kale including Tuscan kale. Baby green stem garlic is in season and this kind of garlic chops easily and is a fabulous and healthy addition to many kinds of fried vegetable dishes. I took some photos and a sampling appears next.
Madison Maxwell Street Days
Madison has been holding it’s Maxwell Street Days celebration this weekend, and today is the last day.
Steak and potato
This post shows my results making a steak with a baked potato. A nice steak, normally out of my price range, was on sale at the grocery store, so I decided I would try to make one. This is a classic “meat and potatoes” dish with some fried vegetables along with a hot touch. The steak, potato, and onions dish was fabulous, and it was not too hard to make.
Omelet with Mozzarella cheese and sausage
I am making another breakfast omelet with a slightly different set of ingredients. The green stem onions were from a recent farmer’s market.
Farmer’s market at the end of June
I began last Saturday’s farmer’s market looking to buy things like onions, kale, and anything else interesting. I often bring my camera and try to capture some of the abundant beauty to be found.
Happy 4th of July
On this upcoming Fourth of July, remember the people who have served to help keep America a free country.
Rich and Steve are interesting people. Their belief in America is for real, and living in a place like Madison, this is refreshingly nice.
Beautiful May skies
The clouds and skies this May have been absolutely beautiful. Here are a few photos.
