@ d e n i s e d e pao lo Spring finally arrives this month, and while we lucked out overall this winter, I’ll be among those welcoming the warmth back to South Dakota.

Shelter pet of the month This 1 1/2 year-old neutered Bombay mix loves gazing out the window, and is not shy to greet visitors. According to the folks at the Brookings Regional Humane Society, he also likes to carry on conversations with friends. This kitty gets along well with people of all ages, other cats, and dogs (as long as they're on the calm side).

For many, March is about getting out of Dodge for a few days. This will be the first year in a while that my husband, Tony, and I haven’t jumped on the spring break train. But according to science, our daughter is set to arrive any day, and I’d prefer not to have her delivered by a ship doctor. That means our days off will be spent close to home, and Tony has an ever-narrowing window of living with a no-questions-asked designated driver. We plan to take a day and make the rounds to Sioux Falls’ taprooms - including our old favorite, Monk’s, and the three new ones featured in this month’s cover story. I might not be able to imbibe, but each has its appeal beyond just what’s on tap (and a few even have great non-alcoholic choices). Plus, I’m building

A COMMUNITY OF CULTURES

BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

On Saturday, March 5th, Lutheran Social Services (LSS), one of the largest non-profit human service agencies in South Dakota, is giving Sioux Falls a night to celebrate diversity with their 21st annual Taste of Cultures at The District. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are scheduled to start the eclectic evening at 6:30 p.m., followed by a night filled with music, dancing, and an array of decadent, ethnic dishes.

“It's a great night out filled with entertainment, showcasing the culture we have here, but we're also raising money for a great cause,” described Kristyne Walth, volunteer coordinator for LSS's Center for New Americans.

While LSS offers a diverse selection of counseling, financial resources, and mentor programs, its Center for New Americans specializes in immigration and refugee resettlement. All proceeds from Taste of Cultures goes towards the Center for New Americans, benefiting services provided to assist immigrants and refugees in becoming self sufficient. It offers programs such as English and citizen classes, community orientation, case management, and employment assistance.

“The funds donated may not seem like a lot to the person giving, but it could mean a warm coat, a 14 // MARCH 2016

week's worth of groceries, or a bus pass for someone else,” explained Walth. “It's making a major difference in someone's life.”

“

Making that difference at Taste of Cultures will be an experience unlike any other in Sioux Falls. Guests will feel as if they've taken a trip around the world in music and dance, with performances by Mariachi Andariegos, the Celtic Steps, Ky Veen Pagoda Dancers, and Asian Night Live. The entertainment portion of the night is a favorite for Walth, “The dancing and the music is incredible. You typically don't get an opportunity to experience authentic culture like it without leaving the area.”

The Taste of Cultures event coordinators have worked closely with the culinary professionals at The District, ensuring the food is authentic and true to taste. The night's menu is guaranteed to appease any foodie's palate, with an array of dishes that include aromatic Indian curry and rich, savory Greek dessert baklava.

As guests are culturally captivated by their food and entertainment, they're encouraged to participate in the silent auction, with over 50 items to bid on. The auction items donated are as eclectic as the night's theme, ranging from restaurant gift cards to hot air balloon rides. Some auction items are as much of an experience as the night itself, with a tour of ethnic

grocery stores that will culminate with an authentic, homecooked meal.

The atmosphere of Taste of Cultures is lively and festive, but its purpose is significant. By celebrating the cultures that make up our community through dining and entertainment, LSS hopes to spread awareness in diversity and inclusion. Their Center for New Americans was founded with the idea that resettling refugees and immigrants is an important,

ongoing expression of commitment to international humanitarian principles. The programs offered and events hosted by Lutheran Social Services are shedding light on the growing diversity in Sioux Falls, but they need continued support in order to do so.

Q&A

A SIDEWAYS TALE COMES TO THE STAGE

BY JORDAN SMITH

THE CLASSIC BOOK "SIDEWAYS STORIES FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL" IS BEING BROUGHT TO LIFE BY THE THE PIERRE PLAYERS THIS MONTH. THESE WACKY STORIES FEATURE A SCHOOL BUILT SIDEWAYS, ONE CLASSROOM ON EACH FLOOR (RATHER THAN 30 CLASSROOMS ON ONE FLOOR), AND THE CRAZY, HUMOROUS THINGS TEACHERS AND STUDENTS EXPERIENCE. DIRECTOR MICHELE BEELER TAKES US ON AN INSIDE JOURNEY THROUGH THE WACKY WAYSIDE TALES. country were doing and found this one. The fun and creative script immediately captured the directors.

I remember reading the books and know that they were pretty offbeat and humorous. Will the play follow the same format?

MB: The humor is offbeat! There is a magical and fantastic atmosphere to the Wayside School. There is a little dark side - a mean teacher, possession by evil spirits. But good wins out in the end with fun solutions.

Is the play a series of different stories, or one main story?

MB: Much like the books, the play is a series of short scenes involving the class on the 30th floor.

BOOKISHA.COM Who are the Pierre Players?

Michele Beeler: We are a volunteer theater organization focusing on enriching the Pierre community through live performances.

Pierre Players started in 1967 and is the longest-running community theatre group in South Dakota. We produce five shows a year, running September through July in the Grand Opera House.

Who is performing in this play?

MB: We have five adults and six children in the play. The children range from 5th to 7th grade.

We have a high school student, a computer programmer, and state workers. There are 11 roles on stage as well as two directors, a stage manager, tech director, and set building.

Why was Sideways Stories from Wayside School chosen as a play this year?

MB: When we decided to do a children's play, we looked at what other theaters around the

Is the play adapted closely from the book?

MB: Yes. The play consists of approximately 10 different chapters from the books. Some of the characters have been changed or combined together.

Will the play appeal to a broad audience?

MB: The play is based on a series of books by Louis Sachar that are written at a second grade level. The humor is definitely child-oriented but not so silly that adults will be bored. The jokes and situations can amuse all.

Sideways Stories from Wayside School opens March 11 with performances Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

For reservations, visit pierreplayers.com or call (605) 224-7826. Tickets are $5.

BE YON D BO R DE RS BORDERS WENT BANKRUPT? SO WHAT. THAT DOESN’T STOP FORMER EMPLOYEE MARK LLOYD FROM FINDING OUT WHAT’S THE NEXT HOTTEST READ.

THE RELIC MASTER

BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY | REVIEW BY MARK LLOYD

ONLY CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY COULD MAKE THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION FUNNY. IT WASN'T EXACTLY A FUN TIME. THE INQUISITION ISN'T EXACTLY A BARREL OF MONKEYS WITH ALL THE TORTURE AND BURNING PEOPLE AT THE STAKE. BUT TIMES WERE CHANGING WITH MARTIN LUTHER LEADING THE WAY.

One of the things that upset Luther was the idea of selling indulgences. This is the idea that you could give money to the church to cut time from the time you would eventually spend in purgatory. That sounds like something Jesus would be down with.

And usually there would be a relic involved. It could be a finger bone from a saint. It could be some straw that came from the manger where Jesus was born. It could be the tip of the spear that the Roman soldier used to stab Jesus when he was on the cross. Basically, you could cut more purgatory time if you made a pilgrimage to a special relic and gave its holder some money for an indulgence.

This is where our hero, Dismas, comes in. Dismas is a relic hunter. He travels all over Europe and the Middle East to find authentic relics for his clients. His two biggest clients are Frederick, ruler of Saxony, and Albrecht, Archbishop of Mainz. Dismas has helped Frederick gain the largest relic collection outside of the Vatican, which makes Albrecht furious. Albrecht already doesn't like Frederick because he is protecting the heretic Martin Luther. If it were up to Albrecht, Luther would burn at the stake after some long, grueling torture.

This also sounds like something Jesus would totally be down with.

That is, until his good friend Durer, the painter in all the Holy Roman Empire, tells bad news. It turns out his banker had been a sort of Ponzi scheme and has made off his money.

greatest him the running with all

Dismas knows that this is impossible. He sees multiple shrouds for sale every day. None of them are authentic.

Now penniless, Dismas hatches a plan with Durer.

And all Durer has to do is maybe paint the greatest masterpiece of all time, a fake burial shroud of Jesus.

Then Dismas can sell it to Albrecht for a lot of money and still retire to the Alps.

Furthermore, Dismas is ready to retire. He has a nice little nest egg put away with a banker. He just needs to save a little bit more money and then he'll retire to the Swiss Alps, meet a nice woman, and settle down.

Their scheme will trigger a hilarious adventure that will take them all over Europe and just might get them killed.

But what Albrecht doesn't have in quantity, he'd like to make up in quality.

What Albrecht would really like is the burial shroud of Jesus.

THE BOB'S BURGERS BURGER BOOK: REAL RECIPES FOR JOKE BURGERS

In 1984, the IRA planted a bomb at a hotel and set it to go off in 24 days, when Margaret Thatcher would be staying there. This is a fictional account revolving around these true events. It sounds like it'll be full of laughs.

Finally, I can get recipes for all of Bob Belcher's ‘burger of the day’ specials. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then go watch Bob's Burgers. The book will probably make way more sense if you watch, also.

“The frailty of the human ego threatens to topple the might of a long marriage in this mesmerizing love story."

45 YEARS REVIEW BY MICHAEL NAZAREWYCZ READ FULL REVIEW: WAY2IN.DE/20N

One of the more awkward topics in the early points of a romantic relationship involves the discussion of past loves.

The reality is most people are not their current love’s first love, and yet some struggle to admit there was someone before them. This topic can be most sensitive in the early months of a relationship, especially if there is a concern that feelings for an ex might still exist. Fear about this isn’t exclusive to new relationships, however. In Andrew Haigh’s sublime 45 Years, a couple who has been together for nearly half a century finds their relationship suddenly tested by a voice from the past.

That couple is the Mercers: Kate (Charlotte Rampling), a retired teacher, and Geoff (Tom Courtenay), a retired plant worker. They live a quiet life in the British countryside where they go about their business the ways most retired couples do: walking the dog, puttering about the house, running errands in town, etc. Those halcyon days of their golden years take a sharp turn just a week before their 45th wedding anniversary, when Geoff receives a letter that the

There’s a high degree of difficulty in properly presenting 45 Years without it devolving into some mawkish soap about old age and young love and regret and whatnot. Fortunately, it’s a challenge Andrew Haigh (who adapted the screenplay from David Constantine‘s short story In Another Country) more than rises to. The filmmaker has a keen awareness that a 45-year marriage is simultaneously strong and vulnerable, and he has a clear understanding that the frailty of the human ego is something that doesn’t fade with age.

Rampling plays her incredibly deep and complex role to perfection. There is no scenery to chew, no impassioned speech to make, no confrontation to be had with “the other woman,” so in the absence of that, Rampling wields subtlety like a surgeon with a scalpel: precise, efficient, effective. It’s an amazing performance, and one made greater by the fact that Haigh keeps her the focus of almost every scene. But Courtenay is no slouch either, and it takes a real actor to be convincing in his late-life change and give Rampling everything she needs to shine.

Love does not have a finish line. There is no point along the timeline of a relationship where someone can say, “We made it this far; nothing can come between us now.” A relationship is like any other living thing: it needs constant care and attention, and it is always susceptible to damage, whether it’s a budding flower of romance or a mighty oak of marriage.

With 45 Years, Andrew Haigh and his pair of stars prove this to be true, and they do so in the most well-measured yet mesmerizing of ways.

THE REVENANT In Alejandro González Iñárritu's The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio plays survivalist legend Hugh Glass, a frontiersman betrayed by both his land and fellow man, left ripped and ravaged without anything left to live for. Inch by inch we watch Glass crawl and tumble across miles and miles of picturesque Great Plains scenery, and little by little it becomes clear that, despite the film’s impossibly grandiose, elaborate, labored production, its story is relatively uncomplicated. Subtlety and thematic complexity aren’t Iñárritu’s strengths, so when The Revenant lets go of its “big ideas” and focuses on Glass’ manhunt, things get really good.

PARTY GIRL Following its debut as the Un Certain Regard opener at Cannes last year, Party Girl went on to win the Camera D’Or and Best Ensemble awards at the festival. Written and directed

by Marie Amachoukeli, Claire Burger, and Samuel Theis, the film is inspired by the reallife mother of one of the young French filmmakers. You wouldn’t know by just watching the film, but the lead actress portraying the mother is the real-life person the story is based on. It’s impressive considering the incredible performance she gives, but it also explains how deeply personal the film is to these filmmakers. Unfortunately, committing to this true story seems to be more crucial for them than it is for those watching it.

JOY David O. Russell continues establishing himself as a top name in mainstream prestige fare with Joy, albeit in a different direction compared to his last three features. The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle showed off Russell’s strengths when it came to working with ensembles, whereas Joy prefers to keep its focus on one character. That means a more streamlined narrative compared to, say, American Hustle, although Russell’s own formula since his career’s resurgence is still here, even if it doesn’t cast as wide of a net. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Joy is a rather simple and entertaining film, a biopic of sorts that works best when seen as a strange, unique, and slightly true success story.

DAMON THIELEN & JESSICA BROWN The Sioux Falls home Damon Thielen shares with girlfriend Jessica Brown has the feel of a cozy country getaway, because when it was built in 1905, that’s exactly what it was.

“It was a vacation cottage for a local

farm in South Dakota, which was on the big Sioux River on this property.

He was also an amature arborist, so some of the trees you’ll see around here are more exotic. Lots of variation on pine trees.”

Over the subsequent century, owners added to the structure, as neighbors grew closer. And although the “cottage” is now a 2,700 square foot, three bedroom, two bathroom home, it maintains much of its original architectural character. Beamed ceilings and expansive windows provide picturesque panoramic views of the surrounding woods, which one would never guess is just a stone’s throw from busy Minnesota Avenue.

“We get a lot of deer coming back in this area,” said Jessica, gesturing out at the front yard.

“It’s fun sitting down, eating dinner at the table, and watching the deer.”

Some of his favorite pieces in the living room include a Warhol-esque “Marilyn Monroe Spock” by French artist Mr. Brainwash, and the first work he ever had commissioned - a piece of ledger art by Rapid Citybased Jim Yellowhawk.

“The piece of paper was originally from 1912 and it’s a Montana treasurer registry,” said Damon, pointing to the tiny, faded cursive behind the bold overlaying imagery.

“I like motorcycles and bought my own about a year and a half ago.

My dad rode motorcycles when I was growing up, so he threw in my current motorcycle and my dad’s and a couple of vintage Indian motorcycles. I think it’s a cool piece.”

While the bright colors emanating from the artwork catch a visitor’s immediate attention, it doesn’t take long to appreciate the subtle, stylish lines of the furniture’s midcentury aesthetic.

“Kyle at Modtro has been a great resource for me the last three or four years,” said Damon. “Even before we moved back to Sioux Falls, I got a couple pieces from him. I saw him post this Eames-style lounge chair on his Facebook, which I think is the coolest piece of furniture I have.

There’s something very sexy about furniture design of this era.”

The dining room is populated by more midcentury pieces, like a

The first changes the couple made after moving into the house were

painting all of the brown walls a soft dove grey, and swapping out all of the main floor light fixtures. In a sundrenched nook between the dining and kitchen areas hangs what Damon calls a “Sputnik-inspired” fixture, which plays well with a vintage record consul and a pair of '60s-era lounge chairs.

“We had it planned before we moved in to make it a sitting area because of the view - morning coffee and stuff like that,” said Jessica. “Now do we actually sit there? No, but it looks good as a sitting area.”

The only drawback, Damon says, to having so many windows and so much natural light is that he is running out of wall space. That means art is hung on kitchen walls, above cabinets, and between windows. And as one goes upstairs, photographs are not of family and friends, but of reimagined celebrities and historic figures sporting traditional Americana-style tattoos by Seattle-based artist Cheyenne Randall.

In addition to the cozy spare bedroom on the first floor, which displays work by artist and songwriter Daniel Johnston, the upper level has two large bedrooms.

Immediately to the right is a long, wide space with slanted ceilings, which serves as a multifunctional guest room/ office/sewing room/sports memorabilia museum. It also houses more art, some of which is close to Jessica’s heart.

“My first two pieces of my collection are hanging in this room,” she explained. “They’re both local artists. This one is Jennifer White and over there is Solomon Carlson, who’s a Sioux Falls artist and was part of the Art Maze.”

The master bedroom across the hall is kept toasty by a wallmounted fireplace/space heater that Damon says looks cool, but was just a lucky Costco find. The other walls display more colorful art, including prints from a Wes Andersoninspired series by Tim Doyle. With its expansive frontfacing windows, this room is a juxtaposition between cozy, bright, and whimsical - like the rest of the house. Jessica says that what she loves most is that together, they have made it into a home that she’s always happy to return to.

“The welcome from our dog is the best thing every day. I get to walk in to her being so excited to see us,” she said, crouching down to scratch Libby’s belly. “I also like how we decorated the house. The art is a little overwhelming, but Damon loves it. The overall feel of our house lets off a good vibe. It's bright, it’s cheerful. It’s a good place to be.

We like it.”

SPRING BREAK, SOUTH DAKOTA STYLE IT’S A TIME TO CLEAR THE MIND OF WINTER COBWEBS AND HAVE A LITTLE ADVENTURE. And what better place to do that than in the diverse landscapes of our home state? This year, take advantage of low gas prices and consider exploring a little closer to home. After all, even lifelong South Dakotans haven’t seen all 77,100 square miles inside our borders. Wanda Goodman and her team at the South Dakota Department of Tourism have these suggestions for creating a memorable spring break road trip.

HIKING IN THE HILLS For those of us looking to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, a day’s hike can’t be beat. In addition to being great exercise, a springtime hike in the Black Hills is the perfect way to kick off a season of outdoor adventure. Head for natural landmarks like Bear Butte or Harney Peak, or create an itinerary that includes a hike followed by a local craft beer tasting (Spearfish’s Crow Peak comes to mind).

DEADWOOD The Black Hills’ best-known party town never disappoints. Best for spring breakers 21 and over, Deadwood offers gaming, winter sports, and dozens of entertainment options. For those looking for a relaxing vacation, there are day spas and great restaurants. History

EVEN LIFELONG SOUTH DAKOTANS HAVEN’T SEEN ALL 77,100 SQUARE MILES INSIDE OUR BORDERS. lovers will find themselves knee deep in Wild West lore and artifacts at the Adams and Days of ‘76 museums, not to mention Mt. Moriah Cemetery, where legends like Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok are buried.

ROAD TRIP ACROSS I-90

EAST RIVER WINE TOUR

The state’s arterial roadway might seem a little bland, but it’s where you choose to exit that will determine your level of fun. Start by spending a night in either Sioux Falls or Rapid City, enjoying the sights and a little nightlife (even if you’re a resident), then set off bright and early toward the far end of the state. Stop at the iconic spots along the way, like the world’s only Corn Palace, but also check out the Dakota Discovery Museum while you’re in Mitchell. Take a couple of days to explore the hidden gems just miles from familiar exits. Ask where the best local diners are, stay at small motels and B&Bs. And, especially if there’s a little snow, take the time to drive the Badlands Loop and see those amazing formations in a different way.

The Black Hills area is known for its abundance of great wineries, but the east side of the state is quickly making a name for itself, too. Roll this in with the I-29 adventure, or make it a trip of its own, starting at Vermillion’s Valiant Vineyards and heading north. The Sioux Falls area boasts several great stops, including Tucker’s Walk near Garretson, Renner’s Strawbale Winery, Brandon’s Wilde Prairie Winery, and Prairie Berry East Bank, located conveniently near several downtown hotels.

During day two, stop by Baumberger Vineyard and Winery near Dell Rapids, then Volga’s Schade Winery, ending the day at Rosholt’s With the Wind Vineyard and Winery.

I-29 CULTURAL CORRIDOR South Dakota isn’t quite as long north to south as it is east to west, but there is still plenty to see if we’re willing to venture using I-29 as our guide. History buffs and nature lovers will especially love this route, with stops that include the Treaty of 1858 Monument near Greenwood, Good Earth State Park at Blood Run near Sioux Falls, and the Four Winds Cultural Center and Moody County Museum - both located in the Flandreau area. For those looking for a little bit of spring break nightlife, Flandreau’s Royal River Casino and Watertown’s Dakota Sioux Casino area each located a short drive off the interstate.

SEE THE “GREAT 8” Have the ultimate South Dakota adventure by hitting all of the “Great 8” - landmarks that have been deemed absolute must-sees by not only the Department of Tourism, but by countless travelers. These jaw-droppers include: Mount Rushmore, Badlands National Park, Crazy Horse Memorial, Deadwood, Jewel Cave National Monument, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, and the Missouri River.

FERNSON is a bit off the beaten path for many living in

Sioux Falls, but for those who travel the I-90 corridor, it couldn’t be more convenient. Located just north of the Cliff Avenue exit, this full-production brewery is a destination in itself. The vast spaces and high ceilings one would expect from a business in this industrial area are tempered by welcoming touches like centuryold rustic barnwood, soft blues music, and shelves of board games.

“Even though we’re on the end of town, we want it to feel like a neighborhood hangout,” said co-owner Derek Fernholz. “We get a lot of people who work around here coming in for their after work beer on Thursdays and Fridays. We feel part of their community, which is great.”

The taproom features eight Fernson brews on tap at all times, including the flagship Farmhouse Ale and popular IPA, which heralded the brand’s arrival in the Sioux Falls market one year ago. Over the course of 2015, Fernholz and business partner Blake Thompson put out 17 varieties, most of which are available only at Fernson HQ. “The taproom has been a great way to get new things out in front of people and test what we think is good versus what the consumer’s palate thinks is good,” said Fernholz. “We’ve been pleasantly surprised with some of those, and some will end up graduating to releases for us soon. One that’s already gone through that process is the Lion’s Paw, which is a Munich-style German lager. It’s available on tap now, but cans will be out by summer.”

HYDRA BEER COMPANY’S west Sioux

Falls taproom is a study in contradictions. Owned by Nick Murphy and Chad Petit, two staples of the local heavy metal scene, the imagery is aggressive, the beards are long, and the tattoos are prominent. On the flipside, the lighting is adequate, the music is unobtrusive, and the clientele is equal parts young professionals, baby boomers, and barely-legal metalheads. This is due in large part to its location adjacent to Ruby Tuesday and across the lot from Century Theaters.

“People are very happy to see a taproom show up on the west side of town,” said Murphy.

“We looked at a lot of properties downtown and hemmed and hawed and toiled over where we were going to end up. People love the convenience. They can go to a movie and stop by and have a beer or two before or after.”

Hydra’s taproom just opened in December 2015, but its Pale Horse, Immortal, and Death Breath varieties have been available since last summer on grocery shelves and on taps around Sioux Falls. As if opening a brick and mortar location and the company’s recent expansion West River wasn’t enough, starting next month, brewing will begin on site. Already, gourmet sodas and nitrogen-infused coffee are being made in-house, but until now, Hydra has operated as a contract brewer, which means other breweries around the region are hired to execute their recipes. For Murphy and Petit, it was a relatively low-risk way to get into the brewing game, and a perfect avenue to make connections in the greater craft beer universe.

“It’s a really fun thing. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve made since getting into this industry,” said Murphy. “People have been so supportive in helping us get this place open. ‘Do you need hops to start brewing?’ ‘Here’s the problems we’ve run into when we started to get our brewery put together.’ ‘With the state government and the federal government, we recommend you go this route.’ It’s been great. And it’s been fun to hear about more and more breweries popping up.”

“We joke that we have the most overeducated bar staff in the country,”

Currie-Olson laughed. “We have a nurse, a pharmacist, a graphic designer, someone with a degree in human resources, I have a masters degree in English, Ryan’s got degrees in finance - we have a very able staff and that allows us to trust them. We all overlap in some way, shape, or form. We help each other with brewing, HR, and finance. It’s nice to have that partnership. Without the other two gentlemen, this wouldn’t be as functional.”

Another source of pride, Currie-Olson says, is that as a cabinetmaker, Hartman was able to custom build all of the taproom’s cabinets and bar tops. It allowed the friends to create the laid back, comfortable atmosphere they would want in a local watering hole - a place where even domestic beer drinkers feel at home.

“You’re welcome. Sit down. If you don’t know about craft beer, that’s fine. All of my staff know craft beer. If they don’t, they’ll learn about it for you. I’m a teacher and want people to come in and learn.” ¢

“I have the right to life, liberty and chicken wings.” - Mindy Kaling

BY DENISE DEPAOLO

Rapid City's Native Grill and Wings is the latest in the tiny national chain's measured expansion, and the only current location in South Dakota. Situated in one of the miniature strip malls orbiting the mammoth ones making up the Rushmore Crossing shopping center, we were interested to see whether Native Wings stood out.

We stopped in for lunch around noon on a Tuesday. It was pretty busy with what looked like largely business people on their lunch hour, but they were still able to seat us right away in a booth next to the window. The décor was strictly utilitarian, with booths lining the walls and tables populating the center of the room. The other side of the L-shaped restaurant housed a centrally-located bar surrounded by tall tables.

Our server showed up after less than a minute to take our drink orders while we looked over the menu. When she came back with our lemonade and sodas, we put in an appetizer order. It was between the Loaded Tots and the Buffalo Chicken Nachos. We ultimately went with the nachos, figuring it would be a good way to try the restaurant's buffalo sauce, and leave things open to try more flavors on our actual wings.

I was eating with two friends who are not big fans of spicy food, and who do not care for traditional wings, so that weighed into our four choices. For boneless wings, we were able to order half a pound or a whole pound, and pick two choices of sauce for each order. So, we went with two half pound orders and selected the Parmesan Asiago, Salt and Vinegar, Honey Barbecue, and Hot Honey Mustard.

Our nachos showed up just a few minutes after we entered our main food order and we dug right in. The chips were heaped with toppings on one of those skinny rectangular dishes every restaurant seems to love using, with a large cup of salsa anchoring one end. The salsa had good heat and texture, but not much actual flavor, so I didn't really enjoy it on its own, but in conjunction with the rest of the nacho toppings, it really added something.

The nachos were really good. The buffalo sauce had a nice, restrained heat that allowed the flavors of vinegar, peppers, and garlic to shine through. The cheese was nicely melted, and the green onion, tomato, 40 // MARCH 2016

and sour cream kept it from tasting too heavy. The only thing that would have been better is the addition of more chips, since the toppings were abundant.

THE BUFFALO SAUCE HAD A NICE, RESTRAINED HEAT THAT ALLOWED THE FLAVORS OF VINEGAR, PEPPERS, AND GARLIC TO SHINE THROUGH Less than 10 minutes later, our wings arrived. Our "half pound" portions looked pretty darn small, with each plate holding eight tiny boneless wings, two sticks of celery, and a ramekin of ranch dressing.

Perhaps the portion looked small only after the seemingly generous nachos. Perhaps we're conditioned by the size of boneless wings at other chains. Who really knows how perspective works?

Scientists probably.

Anyhow, I began with one of the Asiago Parmesan, which was one of the dry rub options. The breading on the wings had a good crunch to them, with a dominant Asiago flavor. There was a bit of Parmesan on the outside, but it was largely lost. It felt like a very artificial cheese experience that, while undeniably tasty, wasn't terribly exciting.

Next, I was on to the Honey Barbecue. As one might guess from the name, these were very sweet and generously sauced. There was more honey - actually it tasted a little brown sugary - than barbecue going on. For a wing lover with a sweet tooth, these would be a good choice.

Had we made more spicy selections, I think these would have been a welcome respite.

Our Salt and Vinegar wings were a dry rub option as well. Each of the boneless wings was, at most, two bites. I had a hard time gleaning any flavor from the first bite of my Salt and Vinegar wing, although I could clearly see a fine dusting coating its surface. On the second bite, I was sure to place it coating down on the center of my tongue, where I picked up a faint vinegar essence.

Inspired Dining in the Heart of Sioux Falls Fresh, authentic ingredients.

A creative chef. A casual, contemporary ambience. And one of the most inspired dining experiences around. You’ll savor every moment at Grille 26, where flavorful, affordable creations like the freshest salads, flame roasted pizza, burgers and steak, chicken and seafood entrees make an everyday occasion feel like something special.

Finally, I got to the Hot Honey Mustard. This was my favorite flavor by far. The sweet mustard was followed by a nice kick, which could still be described as “medium” on a heat scale. In addition to having the most pronounced flavor, this sauce was the only one I’d describe as “complex” and the only one I’d probably order again.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a quick, high-protein lunch during your break, this is a decent option.

Native Wings was started in 1978 in Arizona as a pizza joint by New Yorkers Floyd and Judy Anderson. After changing up the concept to include wings, things really took off. According to nativegrillandwings.com, the Andersons were the first to bring Buffalo wings to Arizona.

In addition to Rapid City, Native Grill and Wings locations can be found in Arizona, Montana, Texas, and soon in Massachusetts.

The Rapid City location has 20 individual wing flavors, ranging from Asiago Parmesan to The Ghost on the heat scale.

those bowls and on those plates and I thought a cookbook was a good way to share.

The cookbook, Record Recipes, was a nine-month project. I spent a lot of lunch hours cooking and photographing and a lot of nights and weekends designing and compiling. I am proud to have done it all myself. Big shout-outs to the friends all over the U.S. who tested recipes for me, though. If anything doesn’t work out for you when cooking from the book (*cough*) blame them!

What is your favorite recipe in your cookbook?

EZ: Oh, man! I don’t think I could possibly pick a single favorite recipe. I like and eat them all. Every recipe can instantly remind me of a time I made it or the person or people I made it for. In that regard, they are all very important to me. I would say that I am probably most proud of “The Best Damn Cookies Ever.”

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and baking is truly a science, so the fact that I have developed a pretty killer chocolate chip cookie recipe is a bit of a 'brush-yo’shoulder-off' point of pride.

ERIN ZIESKE AGE: 35 // HOMETOWN: RAPID CITY SPECIALTY: “FEEDIN’ PEOPLE”

BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON

ERIN ZIESKE’S love of food and recipes started when she was a kid experimenting in the kitchen. She’d spend time watching Graham Kerr’s The Galloping Gourmet on PBS after school and poured over her first Food Magazine subscription. After traveling the world and trying many cuisines, she decided to focus her passion into a delicious-looking Instagram account and her own cookbook.

How did the idea of your cookbook come about and how was it brought to life?

Erin Zieske: I began as that insufferable person on Instagram who would photograph their food all the time, but being in Rapid City, not, let’s say, New York City, they were more skewed towards what I was making, not what I was ordering. Eventually, enough folks wanted to actually know what was going on in 44 // MARCH 2016

What is your go-to meal?

EZ: I love a good 'kitchen sink salad,' or as my best friend calls them, “garbage bowls.” They are essentially a bed of lettuce with everything but the kitchen sink added in. Add cooked rice and you’ve got a good start for a grain bowl. Throw in four or five kinds of diced veggies.

I’ll add a protein like rotisserie chicken or pressure cooked pork shoulder, some crunch from chips (yes, chips or pretzels I won’t judge), savory granola or raw nuts and all topped off with a super bright, acidic dressing. On Instagram search #SaladSoSueMe for more ideas.

This recipe isn’t in the book, but in the deep cold of a South Dakota winter, my staple is jook or congee. It’s a simple, savory rice porridge. I top mine with pork, a poached egg, avocado, cilantro and drizzles of fish sauce, liquid aminos, shallot oil and sesame oil. I will never get sick of it!

Where do you get inspiration for new recipes?

EZ: I constantly absorb ideas from other Instagram accounts, articles online, magazines, television shows, nonfiction books, you name it. In that order, some current favorites are @ chipsaroundtheworld, TastingTable.com, Lucky Peach Magazine, Mind of a Chef (PBS) and The Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar Capon.

What are your tips for someone who hasn’t cooked before, or is nervous to branch out in cooking?

EZ: Look, anyone can cook! Refusing to say, 'I can’t cook' is half the battle. Get out of your head and get into the kitchen.

Find a recipe, no matter its difficulty level, and just do it. Find someone in your life that would love to help you. Ask your best friend, your boyfriend, your grandma. Just decide to be positive about it. Things always need more butter, more salt, and more acid than you think. That’s a freebie.

What would you say is the one staple everyone needs in their kitchen? And the one recipe everyone should know how to make?

EZ: There isn’t one thing everyone needs universally. If all you want to eat is pizza, maybe you always have a ball of dough in the freezer. If you’re like me, you get passionate about your lunchmeat and your rice cooker. Just find what you love and really hone in and get the best or make the best you can.

As far as one thing everyone should know how to make? If you’re an adult, you should have a signature cocktail and be ready to serve it to your guests the moment they walk in your home. That’s real talk.

WHEN BABYPROOFING ESCAL ATES

BY TRACY KIRBY | IMAGES BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

It recently came to my attention that my house was a giant booby trap for a crawling baby.

You see, they say when your baby begins crawling, it is of utmost importance for you, yourself to get on all fours and view your house as your baby sees it. So, I did it. I got on all fours and crawled around my house looking the fool while surveying the situation. To my horror, it seems that every square inch of our dwelling is fraught with frightening frights of danger.

So, I placed our baby boy in what our older daughter calls “baby jail” (playpen) and I got to work. But as I slaved away, time started to lose all meaning and I found myself stuck in a mixed vortex of cleaning, organizing, and babyproofing. I became… overwhelmed. I would get distracted by an old picture or an old book. I would pause. Reflect. Then forget what I was doing. Then I would drink a cup of coffee, change a diaper, play with my daughter, and then start again on the babyproofing. By the end of the day, after what felt like days of “work,” I got down on all fours again to see what I accomplished.

I had placed covers on three electronic outlets in our livingroom. That was it. That was all I had to show. I could see the conversation now, “Hi honey!

What did you and the children do today?” And I would point excitedly to my three outlet covers.

“Babyproofing! Ta-da!”

I needed help. Guidance. Or, a personal assistant. Or, my mom. None of which were readily available.

46 // MARCH 2016

I think I’ve mentioned before that while I’m wildly creative and studious, my ability to properly run a household (i.e. polish silver, meal plan, organize, wear an apron, dust, clean, etc.) are wildly lacking.

Just ask my husband. He will (gently) tell you this is true. So, after this failed day of babyproofing and cleaning and many countless frantic days running around looking for a shoe, a rogue piece of paper, what have you, I knew I needed to learn to be a better steward of our belongings.

I had been seeing around the interwebs lately a “method” of organizing and tidying and apparently it was changing people's lives. So, I bought the book that allegedly taught this method. I’m such a sucker for methods. The book is entitled Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up. It is author Marie Kondo’s follow up to her holy grail of house organization book, The LifeChanging Magic of Tidying Up. Spoiler alert following! The major premise of the book is this: Discard anything in your home that does not bring you joy. Sounds easy, right? But as I began to delve into inner workings of this method, I found it is very specific. There is an order to order.

And while a little of it sounds a bit hokey-pokey (she advocates that you say “goodbye” to the items you are discarding and thank them for their service -Um, that is weird Marie Kondo), the specific method she teaches is genius for someone like me. She says that to begin to tidy, you first must discard/ purge. And you purge in this order: Clothes, books, papers, miscellaneous items, and then sentimental

items. You do not so much as make eye contact with anything outside of the category you are working on in order to make 100 percent use of your time and efficiency. From there, you can tidy, organize, and store your entire house in the same order. When you are done, she says you will create an entire house that is filled with joy.

I have to admit, I was a skeptic. My whole life my belongings have been a wee bit… chaotic? And I never thought anything about it. But now that I have two humans depending on me, I started to realize it was making me feel crazy that I never knew where anything was. Getting my preschooler ready for school was like a code red military operation.

Getting all of us (on time) to any place was practically a joke. But since implementing some of Marie Kondo’s method, I have to admit, it is joyful to be organized. I go into my closet and stare in wonder at the order. If you ask me where my daughter’s ballet shoes are right now, at this very moment, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt where they are. That is a miracle, folks. A springtime, miracle.

And my baby no longer has to be in “baby jail.” He is out, roaming free in the house. So, at the risk of sounding like an infomercial, I am astounded by this organizing method. And to all you type A people out there reading this and going, “Duh!” I hail you as chief. Because I am now a tidying believer!

ASK T H E JO H N S

YES, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS ARE NAMED JOHN. YES, IT WAS A POPULAR NAME IN THE ‘80S. THE IDENTITY OF THESE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JOHNS? SHOOT AN E-MAIL THEIR WAY AT THEJOHNS@605MAGAZINE.COM.

My friends are planning to build houses for the less fortunate over spring break and they want me to go along. I would rather go on a cruise with my girlfriend. If I choose the boat am I a bad person?

My sister is a senior in college and is planning a super-expensive trip to Europe over spring break. The friends she's going with have a lot of money, while she does not. How can I explain to her that racking up credit card debt is a bad idea, when she will also be forced to start paying student loans in less than a year?

I'm sick of winter and have vacation time to use, but cannot afford to go anywhere warm. What are your suggestions for having a cheap (or free) spring break close to home?

JR: Your girlfriend might dump you at any minute. However, there will certainly still be less fortunate people in need of housing when you return from your spring break. In other words, the poor can wait, this cruise cannot.

JR: Lucky for your sister, credit card debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy but student loan debt is not. So tell her to take that Europe vacation before she is forced to sign over every paycheck to the government. She won’t regret it.

JR: I have no tolerance for financial responsibility (see answers to questions one and two). Book a ticket to Mexico and enjoy yourself.

JW: I have a feeling that the house will get built without you. On the other hand, your girl going on a cruise by herself almost guarantees that she'll meet a suave Mediterranean man who will sweep her off of her feet and take her to the island of Mypos. (If you got that Balki Bartokomous reference, write me. I'd like to buy you a beer.)

JT: If you choose the cruise, you’re not a bad person. No one should feel manipulated into particpating in an activity, even if it's something good.

Your heart should be in it. This is obviously bugging you, though, so think about clocking some volunteer hours at an organiztion you care about between now and the trip (and keep going once you’re back).

JW: Hey buzzkill, stop trying to stomp on your sister's fun!

Memories are definitely something that can't be recovered in bankruptcy court, so let her and Regina George and the rest of the girls go on vay-cay, okay?

JT: Your sister has one year left before her soul gets crushed by the realities of adult life. Remember when you were blissfully ignorant?

Do you wish someone had told you about the crippling realities of debt? Yep. Me, too.

JW: Do you have any elderly neighbors that go to Florida for the winter? You could jimmy open their back door and have a kegger for a few days. And the bonus is that you don't even have to clean up afterwards. I would just double check that forcing yourself into someone else's home is legal. I think it is, but I'm not a lawyer.

JT: Tell everyone you’re leaving town, crank up the thermostat, and hang out in your swimsuit for a few days. Stock up on exotic fruits, cocktail mixers, trashy magazines, and beach reads. This plan to drunkenly lounge around undisturbed will only work if you tell no one, though, so I’d recommend recruiting an equally cash-poor partner in crime to keep you company. Bonus points if you take a few photos at non-specific bars ahead of time wearing tunics and floppy hats to post on social media throughout.

DISCLAIMER: ASK THE JOHNS IS A SARCASTIC PIECE. THEIR ADVICE IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY… EXCEPT MAYBE JOHN T’S.

820 Calories are in a 22 oz. Shamrock Shake from McDonalds, which is equivalent to three egg McMuffins, or one and a half large fries, or two and a half hot fudge sundaes, according to The Huffington Post. Since introduced in 1970, about 60 million shakes have been sold, which are not just mint, ice cream and whipped cream. They actually contain 54 ingredients.

$738 000 000 Is the amount CBS and Turner made from advertisers during the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, or March Madness, according to statisticsbrain.com. The tournament consists of 68 college teams. The lowest seed ever to make it into the Final Four was ranked number 11 and the lowest seed to win the tournament was number eight.

5.5 million Pints of Guinness are consumed daily across the world, but on St. Patrick’s Day, 13 million pints are consumed, says ireland.com. In Ireland, the holiday began as a religious celebration and by law pubs closed for the day. In 1995, the law was abolished to promote tourism, and today about one million people visit Dublin to partake in the holiday festivities.

TWENTY SEVENTH Easter will fall on March 27 this year, instead of in April when it typically occurs.

The holiday lands on a different day each year and can be anywhere from March 22 to April 25. Between 2010 and 2020, Easter will fall in March only twice (2013 and 2016). Its date is always the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring.
