Closed yesterday Easter Sunday not closed again until Thanksgiving day.   Going to be a long run till then.

Aaron rode back to Appleton with me and Carter last week.  Carter didn’t want to sit in the back so I told him to call “Shotgun Daddy.”  Aaron rode in the back.

Thank you to everyone who came in and confessed to hitting my sign.  I know you really didn’t do it.  Just needed to tease me a bit.

Brat fry this Saturday 4-14 to benefit stroke awareness.  Serving 10 am till mid afternoon.

I am looking at getting in organic, gluten free and natural grocery products.  If you are interested in seeing the catolog go to www.petersimports.com  you can click on shop by categories and click on sub items under each category.  Let me know what you are most interested in buying.

Fresh seafood for Tuesday will be Tilapia and Canadian Salmon.

Fresh seafood for Wednesday will be Sole and Arctic Char.

Fresh seafood for Thursday will be Sturgeon, Walleye and U10 dry pack scallops.  Someone asked what U10  and dry pack means.  U10 is the count per pound, under 10.  Last weeks scallops were 6 per pound.  Dry pack means no solution added to the scallops, just meat.

Fresh seafood for Friday will be Pacific Grouper, Norway and Scottish Salmon.  (first wild fresh was on a list this morning, like always very pricey.  Should be better price in a couple weeks)  Perch, Smelt, Yellowfin Tuna.  Yes I ordered Smelt again.  They didn’t show last week but he promised me they would this week.

Order live oysters, clams and lobster by 4 pm tuesday for wednesday and 4 pm thursday for Friday delivery.

Brat flavors will be Jamacian Jerk and Plain in pork.  Plain in Turkey.  Greek in Chicken.

Tuesday morning April 3rd.   We don’t have any Tuesday deliveries or garbage pick up so it must have been a truck that missed Calumet street and pulled in my lot to turn around.

I ordered 1 bottle of 2009 French Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas a $40.00 retail bottle very highly rated and very rare, only 20 cases allocated to all of Wisconsin.  I was billed for 1 bottle they shipped me one case, 12 bottles.  I have already called them to pick it up next week but I am willing to sell it this weekend if you are interested.  Stop in and get them.  NONE will be opened for tasting unless you pay for it first.

I found the 07 and 08 versions selling for between $34 and $40 online.  I will sell the 2009 bottles that I have for 32.99 each.

Here is the description from the wholesaler:  Potentially the finest Gigondas made here since their sublime  1978, the 2009 exhibits gorgeously sweet black currant, kirsch, and mineral notes intermixed with hints of cigar box and forest floor.  Full-bodied with elegance married to considerable substance and power, a beautifully textured mouth feel, and a long, heady finish, this will be a long lived Gigondas.

Spring is here and Carter is enthrolled with motorcycles.  He sits on AJ’s moped and makes the motocycle sounds.  I think he could go for an hour or longer if I let him. 

We took grandma (my mom) and Carter over to New London to visit the sturgeon as they were spawning.  We were trying to remember the first time she took us kids to see the sturgeon spawning.  It would have been probably 68 or 69.  Dan Folz was one of the DNR guys catching and tagging sturgeon back then.  That was the roots of today’s sturgeon management.  We did mention that the big ones were probably as old as my mom, she punched me on the arm.  Carter wasn’t too impressed.

AJ on the other hand doesn’t think spring is here.  She is in the pool for April 7th for a snow storm.  She didn’t have an over or under for 6 inches.  Blame her if we have snow on Easter.
