Is the Third Team the Charm?

Year #2 where I have to say, "yep, that's what it looked like." Only this time, it's Brett Favre in a Minnesota Vikings jersey (OUCH, I can hardly type that!). This was after his first TD throw to rookie Percy Harvin.

The "Cheeseheads" fantasy football team begins its fourth season. Here are today's starters:

QB • Peyton Manning • IND
RB • LaDainian Tomlinson • SD
RB • DeAngelo Williams • CAR
WR • Braylon Edwards • CLE
WR • T.J. Houshmandzadeh • SEA
WR • Reggie Wayne • IND
TE • Chris Cooley • WAS

TDSP • Minnesota Vikings • MIN

Remembering 9-11

Today is a day to remember the Moms, Dad, Wives, Husbands, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews. The list just seems endless. We remember all that were lost that day eight years ago.

We also remember all that have put themselves in harms way to protect us. Thank you.

Couldn't resist.

You know the type, right?

A Banquet On-a-Stick

The Minnesota State Fair is one of the marks of the end of summer. What I failed to realize is the intensity in which Minnesotans go about the Fair. There are many who actually plot their once-a-year food path. Some strategize on how many days they'll make it to the Fair. The first initial question is not what you saw at the Fair or what you did at the Fair, but what you ATE at the Fair.

One of the actual food categories is "On-a-Stick." You can find 79 booths were some type of food can be eaten on a stick. One of my favorite descriptions was from Ole and Lena's:

NEW foods this year: Deep Fried Norwegian Banana Split (banana wrapped in lefse, deep fried and topped with ice cream, chocolate, pineapple and strawberries) and Krumkake, made fresh and rolled into a horn shape then filled with whipped cream and topped with your choice of fresh fruit! Tater tot hot dish on-a-stick with cream of mushroom dipping sauce, Uff Da treat (a filled krumkake topped with caramel sauce and butter roasted pecans)
