Minnesota

The North Star State is wedged between the Dakotas and Wisconsin, directly above Iowa. Minnesota shares a long border with Canada and is touched on to the northeast by Lake Superior. More than half of Minnesota’s population live in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving much of the state open to agriculture, prairie land, forests, and of course many, many lakes. In a land of 10,000 lakes, you can be sure that fishing is a major sport. The walleye is the official state fish of Minnesota; anglers also fish for bass, trout, pike, and muskies. Fishing is a year-round activity. In winter, intrepid anglers open holes in the ice and keep on fishing. Along the shores of Minnesota lakes, Native Americans once gathered wild rice (which is not really rice at all, but the seeds of a wild grass). Today wild rice is the official grain of the state of Minnesota – it makes a sensational side dish for fresh-caught fish or wild duck.

Joey's Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by Julia
Really good! I used natural peanut butter and it was a bit dry so I added a little extra oil to soften it up a bit and make it more creamy. I will definitely make these again. I also added some extra sugar because of using natural PB.

Special Cereal Bars I

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by sarah
I use 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 1/2 cups corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, and 6 cups speacial K cereal. Remove sugar mixture from heat AS SOON AS it begins to boil. PRESS the cereal mixture into the pan. For the topping use 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips, and 1/3 cup peanut butter.

Strawberry Pie II

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by sarah
This was really good. I would suggest adding some red food coloring (the kind for tinting frosting) to the cooked strawberries. Otherwise, after you cook the strawberries, they lose their color and look dull and unappetizing.
