thanks River & Jesus ( and all the others ) for the fine posts about this event. It does sound like something worth going to.

i wish i could make it this year but i already made most of my summer plans. And money is tight this year.

But i will consider it for next year.

I'm still learning this board as to what is allowed what isn't and what can be done and what can't.

So i have no idea about pics other then profile avatar

i can easily understand privacy issues on face pics.

But maybe if you do have a place for pics you guys could maybe take a few pics of this event. Just a thought.

BTW i'm a big breakfast person i can eat it anytime of day and i love pancakes.

Pictures are taken at the event however they are only for the people who attend, I am sure you will understand that. There is also a personals area that people can post pictures of themselves and such.

I can understand your apprehension. I didn't have any idea what to expect when I attended in '13 but it all went away in short order when I met everyone. I brought along a bag full of goodies and picked up fresh apples for Talula's pies on the way up. You mentioned taking pictures and River explained it well. I like keeping photographic memories of most everything and MoM was no exception. It's how I remember the names and faces that go along with all those avatars and pseudonyms. They are locked in my computer and the only other person that has ever seen them is my wife. I enjoyed myself, learned some new things and surely didn't go home hungry.

Just wanted to give this a bump. Anyone who wishes to attend is welcome. Send a PM for details. August 7-9 Minneapolis/St Paul and western Wisconsin (very close by). Lots of food, fun, fellowship, interesting conversation, likely some pottery lessons, a cookout at the convent, we'll see what else we can come up with.... PM me, Talula or Jesus for more details, hotels, airport connections, driving info, etc.

I had a great time last year. Count me in!

It is coming up soon! Can't wait for the fun and company!

I will try to call sometime Saturday afternoon, I will even set up a video call.

Sorry I can't be there, maybe next year.

Those who have attended Midwest Mom in the past and have gone to the state fair, a list of newly added foods have been published. I am including a few of the more interesting sounding ones to demonstrate what we will fortunately miss this year.

Burger Dogs

Chilled Bread Pudding

Cowboy Bites

Cowboy Dave's Cluck & Moo

Deep fried ribs

Grandma Deb's Snicker bar salad

Hot tail

Indi Frites

Island slaw

Kimchi 'n' Curry Poutine

Limerick Stix

Minnesota Wild Rice Benedict muffin

Salad Named Soo

Sausage Sister's Sriracha Sliders

Seafood Sliders

Spam burgers in 5 new flavors

Stuffed Italian Meatloaf On a stick

Up Nort Shoreman's lunch

Walleye stuffed mushrooms

This by no means is a complete list, rather just what sounded most interesting. You make partake and puke at your convenience (that Kimchi 'n' Curry Poutine will probably do about anyone in with one bite).

God-dammit, no spam-burgers for us?!

You MUST get the recipe and prepare them for us.

Here in the land that I have come to love they do have one thing that well two things that make me gag. Now I love the local food, "EAT LOCAL" but during WWII the GI's loved these Vienna Sausages, you know the ones I mean, they come in a little can, taste like shit well that and SPAM, its the cheapest meat you can get and comes in a dozen different flavors. The locals have Spam and eggs on Sundays, they love Spam sandwiches, you can get Spam in local restaurants, including big chains like IHOP.

Lets face it no mater were you live there is always something that you wonder WHY? its been that way every place I have lived. Here on the Big Island, you go to the store and there taking a 4 foot shelf, floor to ceiling is SPAM, with all the great food that is the islands, what the locals love most is SPAM.

PS Me, I can't get enough Ahi.
