Stepping My Way to Cheese Curds and Sweet Corn

My new phone has a pedometer so I'm seeing how many steps I take in a day. They say 10,000 should be a goal. This would be 5 miles. Well - I'm pretty sure I walk way more then 5 miles a day. At 8:00 in the morning I already have 1,800 steps.

A website says 10,000 steps will help you lose weight. What if I walked 10,000 steps to buy two pounds of cheese curds, will that help me lose weight? I really think I need to walk 10,000 steps to buy celery instead. Did you know that celery has negative calories?

A stick of celery has something like 10 calories, the act of chewing it consumes 7 calories and the act of digesting this rabbit food consumes another 5 calories so you are burning 2 calories! SWEET!!!!!

ARE WE IN A POLICE STATE???

Yesterday my way home is blocked because SOMEBODY hung a backpack on a tree across from the Capitol and lit it on fire. The bomb squad came out and for the next three hours . . . .walked around scratching their heads. Then they blew it up.

You would think SOMEBODY would have noticed a guy hanging a backpack on a tree and lighting it on fire!!!!!

Then driving home on The Wash near the airport six F16 fighters take off right over our head and then block away 5 cops have a dude pulled over next to the Prime Quarter Steak House and a Police Dog is TRYING to sniff for . . . drugs??

Poor dog. I could smell the Prime Quarter from across the street. What do you think that poor dog is going through. Drugs / Steak / Drugs / Steak / Drugs / Steak. I have to remember that ploy next time I get pulled over.

Any farmers out there?? Besides the 10 feet of water on your crops earlier this year has this been a good growing year? Wild flowers are fantastic this year and my garden is abundant. i seems everything is growing, regular rain and lots of sun.

Today is Farmers Market and Sweet Corn day.

The first recorded instance of Sweet Corn was in 1779 when a band of Iroquois Indians gave "Papoon" to European settlers.

In Europe, China, Korea, and Japan, sweet corn is often used as a pizza topping. BLAH!

Anyway - fresh cheese curds and sweet corn picked three hours ago! It's all good!

BTW - there are many ways to cook sweet corn but if you boil it only boil the corn for 3 minutes, longer and it'll get spongy.

Sassy Cow Creamery News

Kara has mentioned in the comments yesterday that if you mention this blog you can get 1/2 off an ice cream cone at the Sassy Cow Creamery.

Let's not get carried away now!!! It only works once. Also - it looks like a number of you want to have a field trip AUGUST 29th to the Sassy Cow Creamery.

Let's do it!!! How many times in your adult life do you get to go on a field trip - Kids get all the fun. We could meet at the Kurth and caravan there. Lurkers are ALWAYS welcome - it would be a perfect time to meet and greet. There is nothing more fun then a group of adults all having lactose rush's at the same time.

Maybe someone can win a cow.

Had some storms go through last night at sunset and managed to get some nice photos! I was hoping for better but it was like shooting photos at the Grand Canyon - a 6 inch photo just does not do justice.

Hey - I just noticed you can buy T-Shirts on CNN that will have their headlines. For Instance you could have "Iwo Jima flag-raiser gets citizenship papers" ON A T-SHIRT! Wow - I have been looking for that one at Sharrow Drugs but they were sold out.
=====================
OH - final note - does ANYBODY know a Chris Olsen from Oconomowoc? I'm trying to clear my name here. While looking for a missing credit card DJ found an old YMCA card between car seats with her/his (I'm betting her) name on it from some pilates class from 2005.

I see my google ad's are all about lactose intolerance. Too Funny!
