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.

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata

Reviewed on Jul. 4, 2008 by WITZKEN
Delicious, with a few changes to suit my personal tastes. Instead of doing the chicken, I sliced up some hot Italian sausage links, a red bell pepper, and a small yellow onion. I sauteed them with the red pepper flakes and garlic until the sausage was lightly browned and the veggies were tender. This makes it a 2-pot recipe instead of a 3-pot, so less cleanup. Then I added 28 oz of crushed tomatoes (I don't care for the chunks), the tomato sauce and basil, and some salt to taste. Simmered 20 min, mixed it all up with the cooked penne, and topped with fresh mozzarella and a sprinkling of parsley. Spicy sausage and peppers - yum! I did decrease the red pepper flakes to 3/4 tsp instead of the full tsp. Will make again - thanks!
