Madison Comes to Us.

 We did a day trip to Madison yesterday for a little shopping run at  Trader Joe's, The University Book Store and University Pharmacy.  That was all just an excuse to go back to Graze's for lunch.  It was good as always.  But, really it was just a burger... While, Susie had the noodle bowl.  Now, that was something special.
We checked out the L'Etoile menu which was quite interesting, with a price to match.

All and all it was good trip.  But it also helped us to realize another thing that we are truly thankful for and that's Potters Mill.

We are so fortunate to live in this beautiful part of the Mississippi River Valley where we are able to grow and prepare our own food.  That is every bit as good as Chef Tory's nationally recognized restaurant, where a meal of two pork chops will run you a C note and then some. 


So, last night Madison's very own award winning band The Jimmy's came back to Bellevue and tore things up with their mix of blues, soul, funk and R&B.  Banging out their own originals and  classics like Will It Go Round In Circles and The Bands, Ophelia.

So among the many things that we are thankful for The Flatted Fifth Blues and BBQ at Potters Mill is near the top of our list.

It made for a great night, close to home, surrounded by good friends and great music.
