Casserole vs. Hot Dish: A short analysis of Midwestern culture:

When I heard hot dish was standard midwestern fair, I had to research what exactly was in this infamous Lutheran church staple. To my surprise hot dish is a starchy cousin to the South’s casserole.

Here is a great article which describes the very fine line between the two.

Either way, I can’t wait to try my hand at hot dish while I’m here. I’m thinking baked potato hot dish for starters.

BONUS: Here are Jean Redpath & Garrison Keillor singing about their favorite hot dish in “Tuna, the Food of My Soul.”

I am absolutely in love with Minnesota public radio. They have this amazing station called “The Current” which is completely listener support. These folks are super serious about public radio and definitely put their money where their ears are.

The best surprise for me was having Minnesota pass marriage equality right before I moved. The governor signed it into law 2 days before I moved. I was greeted with The Saint Paul bridge lined with rainbow flags celebrating the gopher state’s recent accomplishment.

Could I see myself settling down in Minnesota? I’m not sure yet, you’ll have to let me encounter a winter first. But until then, marriage equality sure does make things a lot more appealing.

Governor Mark Dayton signed the Minnesota legislation authorizing same-sex marriage on May 14 at the Capitol. Crowds celebrated there and in downtown St. Paul. Here are some photos of the celebration at the Capitol.

fancysomedisneymagic:

Most romantic disney date ever?

I know people are partial to the spaghetti- Bella Notte scene from Lady and the Tramp, but I remember that after watching The Rescuers Down Under, and particularly this part, I has some of my first romantic fantasies ever!

At probably age 6 I dreamed of someday having such a romantic date in an elegant and dashing restaurant, with a beautiful scenery like the Manhattan skyline and a guy deeply in love with me. I don’t even mind the place is infested with mice and roaches, although I should.
