I know you’re going to Costco to get your thanksgiving apple pie
It’s tempting, I know. But if you’re considering baking homemade pie it’s not too late to get your apples from Brightonwoods Orchard. Open until November 20th, this family owned small business is a must visit. Did I mention they have incredible cinnamon sugar donuts?

“Brightonwoods Orchard is a family run orchard featuring over 150 apple varieties, seeded and seedless grapes, quince and fruit pears. We are located in Southeastern Wisconsin on one of Wisconsin’s Rustic Roads between Milwaukee and Chicago

Brightonwoods Orchard does all the apple picking and sorting for you

“Brightonwoods Orchard was established in 1950 as a weekend retreat. Initially a hobby orchard, it grew from 3 acres to 18.5 acres, on 4,000 dwarf and semi-dwarf trees. Brightonwoods’ emphasis is on preserving existing heirloom varieties and growing standard and newer commercial varieties.

A collaborative venture with AeppelTreow Winery began in 2001. The winery specializes in apple and pear fruit wines, hard ciders and dessert wines. An on-site distillery allows the winery to also produce special brandies and sorghum whiskey. 

Brightonwoods Orchard is located on one of Wisconsin’s scenic Rustic Roads between Milwaukee and Chicago. It is immediately adjacent to the Richard J. Bong State Recreation Area, a managed prairie with hiking trails, campgrounds and visitors’ center.”

On the Menu: Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu

November 15, 2021 · Leave a Comment

From Portugal to Hawaii, their Malasadas are a MUST for your trip to Oahu.

I must admit, my first experience with Leonard’s Bakery was under the best possible circumstances. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I was traveling with my husband, sister and three friends. As we were leaving Honolulu, my friend insisted we stop at Leonard’s for road trip sustenance. Never being one to turn down baked treats, of course I agreed. If you are wondering exactly what Malasadas are, their website has the best explanation.

“A malasada is a Portugese doughnut without a hole. We fry generously-sized balls of dough until it’s golden brown on the outside and light & fluffy on the inside.

We started making malasadas as part of the Portugese tradition for Shrove Tuesday back in 1953. Now, we make them continuously everyday. We are Hawaii’s original malasada™ bakery. “


There’s always a line out the door. That means you leave with a box of fresh and hot “donuts without a hole.” I’m no stranger to donuts. I have a substantial amount of comparisons in my culinary experiences. Without a doubt the pieces of sugar heaven that come from Leonard’s Bakery are at the top of my list. As far as road road trip snacks, they are the perfect accompaniment to the breathtaking drive up the coast of Oahu.



Once we arrived at our North Shore destination, our box was empty. Nevertheless, our stomachs and hearts were full and ready for the next adventure.

I’m excited to be a part of this exhibition. Ope I’m excited to be a part of this exhibition. Opening this Saturday 1-3.

Tall Grass Arts Association will present a new exhibit,

WINDOWS AND DOORS,

opening with an Artists’ Reception on Saturday, January 21, 2023. 

The very large show, with over 100 works, is filled with a broad range of artists’ views and interpretations of windows and doors – studies of them and their structure, design, unique patterns, textures, time- and weather-affected transformations, as well as their positions in history, religion, urban and rural life. 

The artists give us, through styles meticulously realistic to beautifully abstracted, views looking into, out of, or through windows and doors, and at the buildings, rooms, landscapes, animals and people observed or imagined on either side of them.

 With a variety of drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, digital, mixed media, and glass works, artists create not only representations of actual objects and places, but also several based on symbolic meanings and metaphors that windows and doors can suggest.
