Milwaukee Visit

We went up to Milwaukee early Sunday morning to visit Mike and Jackie and see their new house and spend some time with them before their baby comes. We met at Alterra for brunch, did the Sprecher tour and rested and talked till dusk, then spent several hours preparing a great meal at their home. A polenta torte with three different layers, and a soup with mushrooms and pancetta.


On Monday morning Mike and Jackie went off to work and we took Douwe to Milwaukee's Children's Museum which he thoroughly enjoyed.



We stopped in our old Lakeview neighborhood on the way back through Chicago for Jeff to get trimmed up by his favorite barber and a late lunch at SuVan's where I worked for a few months when we lived there.

A fun weekend, thanks for the hospitality Mike and Jackie!
