Ron, glad you joined our merry band. Get yourself a long staff, and well raid the Sheriff of Notting...oops wrong thread.
OK, I dunno where that came from.
I used to live in MKE, first in Bay View neighborhood, then on the east side briefly, before I was driven out by the damn cold. Bah. 115 beats he!! outta -20 and windy. Maybe if I'd surrounded myself with cookers all winter...
Mom went to high school in the SW corner, just a bit south of Spring Green, near Dodgeville.
Maybe you can come down and see our particular brand of celebration early December for our Tempe cook off. Bring warm clothes, it might drop below 50...That and no humidity in the summer is why I stay here!!
