Usinger's!!!!
I think the Mimi Sheraton piece referenced in the article is the very one where she waxes rhapsodic over Usinger's Hessische Landleberwurst, which they still make today...!
@swordsjew.bsky.social you really need to visit Milwaukee some day, if only for Usinger's sales counter

If crust toughness is an issue, you could try one of the crust recipes that uses cheap vodka instead of water. To my tastes I don't really like the results as much as traditional crusts but some people like it & it'll be tender. Anyways it's fun to experiment

I've made a pie or two every year for the past 30 years at least, and my crusts are still ugly as sin. But that's okay. I just cover the unsightliness with ice cream.

About 25 years ago I was on a plane that did this for about 10 minutes. Probably an old DC-9 or whatever Northwest was flying back then. It was freaky -- from my seat way in the back, I watched the fuselage twist with each lurch. I hope they threw the plane in the trash after what it went through

Microsoft recently announced their siting a couple new datacenters in Racine County WI, one county South of me. I believe they're juuuuust inside the Lake Michigan watershed, same as the mostly abandoned Foxconn projects. Access to lake water must have been the important factor with both projects,

There are exactly two things I use Chrome for -- one's work-related (the "device manager" page for configuring Rockwell Automation's Stratix switches) and the other's related to a stupid Niantic game that I don't even play much anymore. I never saw the need to use Chrome for anything else

...discarding some old habits of thought. Any of us could try to tell you what it was you sensed, but you can't really learn anything that way. It's gonna take a bit of effort on your part to really know what's going on. And getting the reactions you're getting means your effort ain't complete yet.

I'm male, cis, only ever been attracted to women, and a boomer. I'll offer this: You've sensed *something*. You've elicited responses. But that thing you've sensed is NOT what you've labeled it. To learn what it is you've sensed will require introspection and humility and an openness to discarding
