Cranberry Country: Part 2

As promised, here are more treats from Wisconsin.  Food wasn't the only thing offered in Tomah.  They also had a fantastic array of other goods.

First, the clothing:

"FASHION SCARVES

EVERYONE NEEDS

ONE Or TWO Or THREE!!!"

"REVERSIBLE JACKETS

FASHION AT IT'S FINEST

TRY ONE ON

ONLY $79.98

(COMPARE WITH $149.98)"

Some miscellaneous items that were too good to leave out:

Clockwise from top left:

- One candle + candle rings = many looks!

- Caroll's Cranny: Original Cranberry Designs

- Stories & Recipes of the Great Depression Volumes IV and V

-"'Berry' Good Baby" Teddy Bear

Now, people obviously put a lot of hard work into these things, so I'm not trying to mock them.  Really, I'm just appreciative of the creativity it takes to figure out that many things to do with cranberries!

Speaking of creativity...the coup de grace:

"Cranberry Wings: Where creativity, imagination, and cranberries fly"

I hope all of my American readers are enjoying their day off!  And to those of you who don't have a national holiday today...I hope the weather's nice? ;)  Happy Monday!

Cranberry Country: Part 1

Last weekend, my BFF Michelle and I (yes, we're BFsF ;) went on an epic adventure across the Midwest.  We ventured from our native Twin Cities to Madison, Wisconsin, then to Chicago, Illinois, and then back again.  We did a lot of things on our trip, but a definite highlight (other than driving through Ho Chunk nation) was stopping in Cranberry Country on the way home.

A couple of hours into our drive, we decided to stop in Tomah, Wisconsin, to take in the sights of Cranberry Country.  The region is famous for its cranberries, so we stopped at The Cranberry Mall and the Cranberry Discovery Center:

Both locations offered a brilliant array of products, so it will take a few posts to share all of them with you.  But first, take in the amazing selection of foods that hail from Tomah:

1. Cranberry Wasabi Sauce

2. Cranberry Simple Syrup

3. Cranberry Salsa (taste tested this...crasins + Tostitos = bad idea)

4. Cranberry French Toast mix

5. Cranberry Maple Syrup

6. Cranberry Sausage

7. Cranberry Mustard?

8. CRANBERNET: a delicious mix of red wine and cranberries

Like I said, this is only the beginning, so you can look forward to more amazing options in upcoming posts.  Hope everyone's having a great Labor Day weekend!
