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.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by sarah
This was not very good. It looked great but it was way too crispy. I doubled the recipe and made two...one I baked on an airbake pan and it was still really crispy. Also, it doesn't have a lot of flavor. My boyfriend, who normally LOVES pizza, said it tasted like "water" and he couldn't even choke down more than a couple slices. I'm going to stick to Jay's Signature Pizza Crust on this site.

Orange-Sesame Pork Chops

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by camp0433
I did not put any oil in since I wanted to cut out some of the unneccesary calories, and I cooked it with chicken breasts. I also used a bit more marmalade to keep it a bit thicker but the flavors were very nice together. I will definitely keep this sauce combination for future use.
