Yes, the table is made of ice, Mary says. |
In her latest installment of Cooking With the Junior League, Mary McCoy looks at the cuisine of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
She writes: Visit a city like Minneapolis-St. Paul in high September, and you begin to find yourself mentally packing your bags, and imagining a life for you and yours in an idyllic Midwestern wonderland. The streets are tidy, the people are interesting and kind, and the politics are progressive, and tempered by a kind of Lutheran good sense and practicality. Local music is good. Beer and cheese are plentiful. Things get a little more Darwinian in February. That’s when you realize that not only are the people interesting and kind, they are of a hardier stock than most. This is Little House on the Prairie country. Here, putting food up for the winter is more than a quaint, slightly anachronistic hobby, and ice fishing is considered recreation rather than torture.
