Dan and I went down to what is called the ‘little hippie town’ almost an hour south east of us.
They had a benefit for the local school district at the Driftless Cafe. Yuppie food like you see on TV. Almost rare beef tenderloin on top of mashed potatoes full of spices and a few arugula leaves between. Compote of beef tallow and ladeedah and and and……….Pork ribs with polenta, red marinated onion and ladeedah and and and…..
And it was PHENOMENAL!! omg……it was SO good. We ate by candlelight. A LEETTUL tiny candle. I had beef tenderloin and Dan had pork ribs. We exchanged bits of pork and beef to try each other dishes…..om…..I could have kept eating. And eating. It was delish!
We got there early (5:45pm), put our name on the list. I think we only had to wait 15 minutes to get in. So while you waited, they had hot chocolate around a bonfire pit singing Christmas Carols. It was awesome. It was a great trip.
Then we went back to the cinema and saw ‘The Mule’ with Clint Eastwood. I thought it was good.
It was a very enjoyable evening…..
I don’t see beef tenderloin and pork ribs being very hippieish…. but I’m glad you had a great night!

Little Hippie town? Our major would laugh! Old Norwegians with many Hippy type folks. We all get along now. That restaurant is nationally famous as is the guy who runs it.
