just another weekend in milwaukee

We live in this big city, but we stay pretty close to home most of the time... So this weekend we did a little driving and got out of our little corner. Friday we went to The Oriental and saw The Darjeeling Limited. It was pretty good. Predictable Wes Anderson, but good. We walked around a little on the East side too. Went to Whole Foods and bought some expensive French cheese. Saturday I went to the farmers market in West Allis. I just got some flowers and apple cider, but it was nice. Lots of pumpkins and mums for sale. Saturday night we went to Great Northern BBQ in Pewaukee. It was good. They have really good barbeque sauces. One made with Sprecher root beer. Yum. And today we went to a flea market in West Allis. A flea market in West Allis you say? Well that must be quite trashy. Why yes. Quite trashy indeed. But Eric managed to find some CD's of course. And I got a $2 cookbook. So not a complete waste. Then we went to the domes. Which was cool. I haven't been there since I was a kid. I think Eric wants to move into the arid dome. He thinks the dry air is good for his skin (?). I don't really know what that means... But anyways, he liked the cacti. We also drove to St Josaphats Basilica and St Savas Cathedral. There's a ton of cool architecture around this city, and it's just begging to be photographed with my new camera. Here's one of Josaphat himself.
So that's about it. I think we're going to run to the store now and get something to put on the grill. Mmmmmm...

The restaurant sounds a lot like a sports bar here in CT. It had two one in Danbury and the other in New Haven and they had their own BBQ Sauce for the wings...
