Ladies and gentlemen, start your Snuggies

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:13:37 -0600

You'll need your going-out Snuggie for this weekend's "Snug 'n Chug," a charity pub crawl in which participants take to the streets in their Snuggies ("the blanket with sleeves!).

For kicks, you might want to dig out your BeDazzler ("the original stud and rhinestone setter!") even though the crawl begins at 4 p.m. Saturday, so technically it's not an after-5/rhinestone affair.

The Wicked Hop is coordinating the Snuggie pub crawl, which sends thirsty people to nine bars in and near the Historic Third Ward. Wearing a Snuggie gets pub crawlers $2 Lakefront beer taps or $3 Rehorst mixers. Donate a nonperishable food item at any of the bars on the crawl and get a raffle ticket for prizes.

Start your crawl at any of the following pubs: MJ's on Milwaukee, Club Charlies, Fanatics, the Irish Pub, Stir Milwaukee, Moct Bar, Fire on Water, Swingin' Door or the Wicked Hop.

Make sure you're at the Wicked Hop at 9 p.m. for the World's Largest Group Snuggie Hug.

6 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Freeze!

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 17:10:31 -0600

1. Eggs. Lightly beaten eggs, beaten egg yolks, or whites can be frozen, but not an egg in its shell. Store in lidded ice cube trays. One egg fills two cubes.

2. Cooked Rice. Spread cooled rice on a lined baking sheet. Rub with a small amount of vegetable oil so grains separate. Freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag.

3. Ginger Root. Wrap peeled ginger in plastic, then put in freezer bag. Ginger grates well while still frozen.

4. Cheese. Cut hard (Parmesan, Pecorino) and semi-hard cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss) into 1x4 inch cubes, wrap in plastic, then put in a freezer bag. Grate hard cheeses while frozen; thaw others in the refrigerator.

5. Butter or Margarine. Store in freezer bag, in its original packaging, for up to 6 months. Thaw in refrigerator. Don't freeze whipped butter.

6. Nuts. Store in airtight container or freezer bag for up to 6 weeks. Use right from the freezer for recipes, no need to thaw.

THE IOU LIST

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:48:16 -0600

I came across this list the other day of countries, ranked according to their credit card balances, from lowest to highest and thought it was interesting.

1. Netherlands (Among the Dutch, 87% owe one week's salary or less. Why so responsible? They use debit cards almost exclusively ,and see no real need for credit cards!)

2. Spain

3. China

4. Germany

5. Brazil

6. United States (It's often reported that Americans owe an average of $8000 on their cards. But, the high number comes from a few big spenders who owe huge sums. The more typical US balance is $3000. What's really surprising? 27% of Americans don't even have credit cards!)

7. Canada

8. United Kingdom and Austrialia (tied)

9. India

10. Russia (In Canada, Russia, and the UK, people over 45 have much higher balances on their cards than younger people do. In Russia, 36% of older respondents owe more than 6 months salary, the highest percentage in the survey).

11. France

12. Malaysia

13. Phillipines and Singapore (tied)

14. Italy

Easy Baking Tips

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:05:22 -0600

Since the holidays are right around the corner (yippee!), I know many of us will be doing a great deal of baking. Here are some quick tricks in the kitchen that can save preciuos time.

Prep on your own schedule. Most types of cookie dough will keep in the freezer for four to six weeks if you double-wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Thaw before baking.

Grease your measuring cups before measuring syrupy ingredients like molasses-- a little nonstick cooking spray helps thick liquids pour easily.

Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Cookies won't stick, so cleanup will be speedy.

Cut up butter so it will reach room temperature faster. A whole stick may require 45 minutes, small cubes will just take 15 minutes or so.

Take your oven's temperature. Oven heating is surprisingly variable. Check yours with an oven thermometer to make sure it reaches the temperature needed for your cookies and cakes.

ENJOY!!

Matador Turned Activist, Alvaro Munera :-)

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:06:03 -0600

Recently, I read an article in HSUS' "All Animals" Magazine about Alvaro Munera. He battled bulls before cheering audiences for 6 years. Then, at the age of 18, a fight turned against him, and he lost the use of his legs. Soon after this tragic event, his closest friend died from bullfighting injuries.

These experiences did not make Munera bitter. Now 43, he has devoted his life to rescuing animals in his hometown of Medellin, Columbia, and speaking out against the blood sport that was once his passion. He is joining Humane Society International in January to tackle Mexico's bullfighting industry.

This will be the first time an ex-bullfighter has come to Mexico to speak up for the rights of animals. His visit will hopefully reinforce the ethics of the new generations, and it will mean invaluable support for legislators who are against bullfighting.

On a personal note, I studied in Madrid, Spain for 6 months in college. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I never could force myself to watch a bull fight, no matter what the cultural outlook was at the time.

I commend Alvaro Munera in his strong stance on this issue, and someday, hope this tradition/sport ends as well!

Cheese Gone Bad?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:47:01 -0600

Being from Wisconsin, I love my cheese!!! Here is a great tip:

Don't fear if hard cheese has molded in spots. Just slice off an inch past the questionable bits. If the whole piece is past its prime (or if it's a soft cheese), toss everything but the rind, especially from hard cheeses like parmesan, pecorino or gruyere. Simmer these rinds in soups or stews when you want an extra burst of flavor. Yum!!!

More Good News...In My Opinion!

Dairyland Greyhound Track to close!

By Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel

Nov. 10, 2009

Dairyland Greyhound Track in Kenosha, the state’s last pari-mutuel greyhound racing track in the state, will close at the end of the year.

The announcement was made on Tuesday to employees. The track opened on June 20, 1990.

"It’s a sad day for the Dairyland family and Kenosha community,” Roy Berger, Dairyland executive vice president, said in a press release. “We looked at every opportunity to apply for racing dates in 2010, but there was no longer a way to remain a viable entity."

Berger said the ownership group would now focus on helping the track's 180 employees "transition to new jobs and helping our kennel owners and operators work in conjunction with the State of Wisconsin to find homes for the racing greyhounds either at other racetracks or through an adoption group."

At one time there were five greyhound tracks in the state. The others were the Geneva Lakes Kennel Club; the Fox Valley Greyhound Park in Kaukauna, the Wisconsin Dells Greyhound Park in Lake Delton and the St. Croix Meadows Greyhound Racing Park in Hudson.

When the tracks first opened, people flocked to them. There were more than 3.5 million visitors in 1991, the first year all five tracks were open. But then attendance began dropping steadily in the 1990s.

Dairyland said it lost $3.4 million last year The track also has reported losses to the state of $2.82 million in 2007, $2.84 million in 2006 and $2.41 million in 2005.

Dog tracks opened in Wisconsin after voters in 1987 approved a constitutional amendment allowing the creation of a state-run lottery and legalizing pari-mutuel betting. In 1991, a federal judge ruled that because Wisconsin now had a lottery and legalized betting at greyhound tracks the state also had to let Indian tribes open casinos.

The ownership group is expected to continue efforts to support the application of the Menominee tribe to build a $1 billion casino on the grounds of the track.

The closing of the tracks follows a national trend of greyhound tracks closing, a victim of changing tastes and the ability of casinos, many of them owned and operated by Indian tribes, to attract gamblers.

The Menominee are continuing to pursue a lawsuit against the federal government, challenging a denial of the project that was issued in the final days of the Bush administration.

Greyhound adoption groups say they expect hundreds of dogs to be available for adoption. The groups, spread around the Midwest, have had experience before in finding homes for the greyhounds.

Help Eliminate Glue Traps!!!!!

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:12:15 -0600

I received this action alert today from Peta...please read and help us help them!!

Dear Kristin,

When PETA found out that ShopRite was selling glue traps —one of the cruelest pest-control devices on the market today—we contacted the company and let it know that animals who get stuck to them suffer for days before they finally die of starvation, dehydration, self-mutilation, and shock. Patches of skin, fur, or feathers are torn off their bodies as they frantically struggle to escape the relentless adhesive.

But so far, this has not persuaded ShopRite to do the right thing and get rid of the traps once and for all, nor has the fact that other companies—including CVS, Rite Aid, Albertsons, Safeway, and most recently, Dollar General—have banned glue traps because they are so cruel.

We need you to speak up for the rats, mice, and other animals who sometimes try to chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to free themselves from these cruel devices. Please write to ShopRite now and demand that it stop selling glue traps today!

Thank you for your support and for speaking up for rats, mice, and other animals.Sincerely,

Tracy Reiman
Executive Vice President
PETA

THE FUR FIGHTING IRISH!!!

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:28:36 -0600

There's no need to wait until March 17—now's the time to dig out your funny green hat and celebrate.

That's because Ireland has just become the latest European country to ban fur farms! The ban will take effect in three years and will save thousands of animals from the horrors of fur factory farms.

On fur farms, animals who would roam hundreds of miles in the wild are crammed into wire cages only big enough for the animals to take a few steps in any direction. Hundreds of animals at a time may be kept inside sheds or subjected to stifling heat and numbing cold outdoors. While diseases and injuries are common, most animals on fur farms are denied even basic vet care.

Not surprisingly, the boredom and frustration of captivity drive many animals insane; they spin in circles endlessly, bash themselves against their cage bars, and sometimes gnaw their own tails off.

The ban means that the Emerald Isle will become even greener, too: There will be no more tons of waste produced by fur farms that can pollute waterways and release ammonia into the air.

Ireland's ban on fur farms is a true pot o' gold for animals. Meanwhile, U.S. legislators have yet to enact any federal protections for animals on fur farms—tell them it's time to take a cue from the Irish and put an end to fur-farm cruelty.

"We had been contemplating a move from our home for a couple of years, but were not ready to sell until just this past summer. Throughout that time, Kris stayed in contact with us and always demonstrated courteousness, sensitivity, and a professionalism that is rarely found today. Kris acted swiftly when we felt ready to put our home on the market. Within days we were having regular showings, almost on a daily basis, and our house SOLD in just two months! All the while, Kris kept in communication with us, as well as the other parties involved. She never missed a beat, and always was friendly and organized. We will never forget the helpful and amazing service we had with Kris Johnston. THANKS KRIS!!!" Maria Perez Oberbruner
