Quarter Mania and Nantucket Reds
At Maple Lanes in Cedar Falls, Iowa, they have a bowling special known as Quarter Mania: $6.00 shoes charge with quarter games, quarter draughts and quarter hot dogs.

Veal Livers with Onions, Beet Sauce, Cranberry Port & Prune Reduction with Horseradish Butter Muffins and Green Beans
This meal was intense! And delicious. I know, I know–we are horrible people for eating the livers of baby cows. At least we’re using the whole animal efficiently! I love to try the livers of animals. My favorite I’ve tried so far is rabbit liver. It was like meat butter. Don’t worry, we don’t eat […]
