Lifestyle Letter

A

fter bundling up with countless layers, slipping on ice during each commute to and from work, and fighting frostbit fingers, summer is finally here. And you know what? I'm already too hot.

But as an employee of my local drugstore said to me, that's when you know you're a true Minnesotan.

But beyond struggling to survive the heat, there are a plethora of reasons to be excited about summer. In this issue, we have curated a collection of some of these reasons. Our summer essentials include fresh fruit cocktails, tips for growing tomatoes, campfire recipes, must-see attractions, and Minnesota's all-time favorite summertime sport, fishing.

PUDGIE revolution A

classic camping food is getting a makeover! Three Wisconsin natives have teamed up to write a cookbook devoted to pudgie pies.

What’s a pudgie pie? It’s a grilled sandwich toasted in a pie iron over a fire. Known to some as mountain pies, tonka toasters, campfire pies or something entirely different, they are delicious no matter what you call them. According to authors Jared Pierce, Carrie Simon, and Liv Svanoe, pudgie pies are where it’s at when it comes to campfire cooking.

On the next few pages you'll find a couple of recipes from Pudgie Revolution!, but you'll soon be addicted and have to pick up the entire

cookbook. You can get a copy of Pudgie Revolution! at PudgieRevolution.com where you’ll also find links to the team’s Pudgie University video series. There you can learn how to make recipes from the cookbook, get cooking tips, and even hear a few puns.

16

Eden Prairie Lifestyle | July 2017

Pudgie pies can be made for every meal - breakfast, dessert, brunch, even a midnight snack. Pardon my French Toast is just as versatile. Whether you’re warming up around a fire at your campsite while watching the sunrise, or wrangling friends together for a quick breakfast for dinner, this stuffed French toast will do the trick.

The only equipment needed for this dynamic breakfast include a few utensils, a bowl to combine the egg mixture, and your trusty pie iron. Pudgie pies come in their own individual serving so feel free to customize based on the recipient’s likes and dislikes. Other “breakfast” recipes can be found in Pudgie Revolution!, ranging in difficulty level and delicious flavor profiles.

Pudgie Revolution! is all about breaking the mold of Wonder Bread and pie filling standbys to exciting and innovative culinary creations. Although many of the pudgie pie recipes include some non-traditional camping ingredients, some early prepping and cooler packing planning continue to make these pies easy as, well… pie.

Not going on a camping trip anytime soon but still want to join the pudgie revolution? No fear, pudgie pies can be cooked over a backyard fire pit, on a grill, or even in a panini press.

If you grew up cooking pudgie pies over the fire during camping excursions with your family, or haven’t even heard of a pudgie pie before, we guarantee they are worth a try. Hot dogs and s’mores are classics and no doubt tasty, but why not add some creativity and innovation to your camping menu? Or start a bonfire in your backyard to gain access to your entire pantry and get cooking!

Strawberries hit their peak growing season in Minnesota during June and July. Does anything compare to strawberry picking on a hot Saturday? This summer staple is delicious fresh or frozen, or both at the same time.

The Daiquiri itself has a rich history. Named after the Cuban beach that Americans landed on during the Spanish-American War, the rum-based drink has been enjoyed by many, from pirates to Ernest Hemingway.

In the 18th century, the British navy passed a law that provided each sailor with one gallon of beer per day.

However, as their routes expanded further and further away from home, closer to South America, a more concentrated beverage was necessitated for the men to get their fill, and rum was chosen. Eventually, the addition of citrus juice to the alcohol was introduced. This was in part to water it down, but as the mixture gained popularity, the naval officers realized that the various citrus juiced in the liquor helped prevent scurvy.

Luckily for us, gone are the days of the Daiquiri consisting of only rum and lemon juice. Naturally, the most popular variation of the simple staple is made even more refreshing with the addition of slushy, sweet strawberries. Frozen strawberries can be combined with those fresh off the vine in the blender for a perfect warm-weather pick-me-up.

SUMMER COCKTAILS (CON TI N U ED)

Raspberries are in their prime in July, warm from the sun, straight off of the vine. Serve them on ice cream, in a smoothie, or, for the grown-ups, in a raspberry Tom Collins.

The Tom Collins is an inherently jovial drink. Although it is usually regarded as a spring beverage to celebrate April Fool’s Day, this cocktail is just as refreshing during the middle of summer. However, we can’t neglect to tell the story of how it got its name. It came about thanks to the alleged Great Tom Collins Hoax of 1874, where bar patrons across America came together to perpetuate the myth of a fictional barfly - named Tom Collins, of course - who hopped from bar to bar in seemingly every city and town, talking trash about the victim of the prank. To execute it, you’d ask your (preferably already inebriated) friend if they’d heard about Tom Collins, a man at the bar down the road, and how he had been bad-mouthing them. Like a good friend, you’d offer to head to the neighboring bar to find the slanderer, only to hear he wasn’t there. Instead, the bartender, most likely after having a laugh, would serve them the concoction in question: a citrusy, refreshing gin classic.

For our fruitier take, nothing complements the lemon like adding fresh raspberries (or even raspberry jam) into the shaker. Follow it up by garnishing with raspberries, either floating with ice or on a toothpick. With the addition of the berry goodness, its name changes to Raspberry Collins.

SUMMER COCKTAILS (CON TI N U ED)

Eden Prairie Lifestyle | July 2017

Tomatoes are delicious, versatile, and packed with vitamin C. Their peak growing time in Minnesota is in August, but they are available fresh in the Midwest both earlier and later. The farmer’s market star is a staple in plenty of summer recipes: burgers, salads, and gazpachos are all made infinitely more delicious when the tomatoes are ripe and fresh. And, of course, our year-round favorite goes to the next level when garnished with the perfect wedge of tomato to pair with the celery stalk: the Bloody Mary.

While the Bloody Mary is an ideal mid-day option any time of year, there is nothing quite like having a Bloody Mary with brunch on the patio in the summertime. Savory and sometimes spicy, the Sunday morning sip originated in Paris, France during the United States’ prohibition era.

With prohibition came waves of American bartenders moving to other parts of the world, especially Europe. This resulted in their exposure to a liquor that was previously unpopular in American markets: vodka.

A bartender named Ferdinand Petiot created the first iteration of the Bloody Mark while working at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. It was initially not much more than tomato juice and vodka, a novelty drink of sorts.

However, with its evolution towards including more savory ingredients and interesting garnishes, it has since earned its place as a classic cocktail. For a homemade play on more decorative garnishes that have become popular as of late, try cherry tomatoes on a skewer.

They’re even better if they’re from your backyard.

PATRIOTISM

and the

FLAG ARTICLE JAY SMITH

J

uly 4th. Independence Day. For many, the birthday of our nation inspires visions of backyard

barbecues, swimming pools, and fireworks displays. The Fourth also provides an opportunity for us, as Americans, to reflect upon the contributions and sacrifices so many brave men and women have made throughout the history of our nation – contributions and sacrifices that give us the opportunity to enjoy the freedom to revel during this celebratory day. Inherent to this sentiment is the concept of

patriotism and one of its most iconic symbols, the American Flag.

I recently sat down with Richard (Dick) Middleton of Eden Prairie, to discuss both of these topics in depth. Dick was born and raised in Kansas City and earned Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Kansas State University in Computer Science and Statistics.

Because of his education in the burgeoning field of computers, Dick was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army and selected to be an instructor at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY shortly after graduation.

For Dick, the concept of patriotism is not something that is reserved for national holidays or military ceremonies, rather, it has remained one of the overarching principles that have guided his life since the time he stepped on the West Point campus. Dick recalled setting foot on the West Point campus as a moving experience, noting the “caliber of men and women at [West Point] is very special” and that he found himself routinely inspired by the commitment of the people around him who were “willing to put themselves in harm’s way for their country.” Similarly, Dick found himself “overwhelmed by the traditions, the calls to excellence, and patriotism” of those around him and found that it was all but impossible not to “be absorbed into the culture.”

Cosmetics don’t have to be a chore. Our makeup should be free to embrace lighter, sunnier climates. Makeup artist Rachelle Kathleen believes in a routine that highlights great skin and is simple enough to follow every day. Kathleen explains and demonstrates her quick 10-minute makeup routine that will leave you looking pretty and fresh any change of season.

1

Prime

Begin by priming your face.

Lightly dab your primer under the eyes and anywhere you'd like to minimize the appearance of pores and lines.

2

Base

Use one to two pumps of foundation, lightly dab and blend into your skin and down your neck.

3

Conceal Use a cream concealer in a shade that is one to two shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight key points of your face. I like to dab my concealer under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, chin and forehead.

Ta-da!

3 1+2

4

Set Make sure all that hard work doesn't go to waste! Use a loose translucent powder and a fluffy brush to lightly tap some powder under your eyes, over your eyelids and on your T-zone.

5

Eyes Use a soft brown eyeshadow to lightly dust your eyelids, blending from the root of your lashes out towards your brows. I like to add as much length and volume to my lashes as possible. Apply a black volumizing mascara over a lengthening mascara.

den Prairie is home to many great civic organizations where residents come together as

individuals and as groups to improve the wonderful experience of living here. Certainly, this collective experience of “giving back” contributes to the high quality of life ranking that Eden Prairie regularly enjoys in the national press. This is the story of one such organization that is a shining signature of who we are as residents of Eden Prairie and as Minnesotans.

The Let’s Go Fishing Eden Prairie Chapter touches many lives each summer with a Minnesota tradition, Fishing! As Minnesotans, we celebrate the sport of fishing as a way of life – and as a symbol of who we are. Fishing is a sport – a pastime that embodies our culture, connects us to family and friends, and provides us long lasting memories from early childhood to our senior years. Memories of fishing are personal to each of us bringing back weekends at the cabin, that special time with our grandparent, and for me, the fun experience with my favorite uncle. These are moments and memories never to be forgotten.

The Let’s Go Fishing Eden Prairie Chapter was formed by its Founder, Joe Holm, and his wife Carolyn of Wilmar, MN, who presented their organization, its purpose, and potentials to the local Lions Club. Post presentation the Lions were hooked! A Lions board was formed that included Mike Smith, Terry Eggan, Mike Gruidl, Steve Olson, Richard Smith along with Lioness Peggy Muller and Gwen Wildermuth. The plan was devised along with an initial $15,000 donation to get the ball rolling.

We were on the way to Lake Riley with our first Pontoon boat with the express purpose of delivering a great fishing experience to Seniors, Veterans, the disabled and young children, all who might not have had the opportunity to celebrate the day with our great Minnesota pastime.

Who is Let’s Go Fishing in Eden Prairie? Many great people from many organizations. The Eden Prairie Chapter is made up of volunteers from local Lions and Lioness, to Rotary, Optimist Club, American Legion members, and residents who enjoy being part of the effort. Everyone is welcome.

Let’s Go Fishing now operates two pontoon boats, scheduling excursions 6 days per week on Lake Riley from June through the end of September. Is the turnout big? You bet it is. In 2016 Let’s Go Fishing had over 2,300 guests out for a day with nature, fun, fishing and connecting. The goal this summer is to grow the guest list to at least 3,500 guests.

Let’s Go Fishing welcomes volunteers. Donations to this organization are most welcomed.

count on others to be true to you and do the right thing even if it is difficult and even if you are not present. Dogs are loyal to their pack and display amazing loyalty to their owners. So Tip # 1 on the list of things we can do to increase our own happiness is to ensure we are loyal so we strengthen our relationships with others.

“TELL ME YOUR PROBLEMS.” Dogs are among the best listeners ever! You can spend hours talking to your dog and he or she will hang on every word. This is not usually the case for our friends, associates, or even family members.

Tip # 2 then is to take time to listen to others and make sure you understand what they have to say before you share your point of view.

“LET’S PLAY!” One of the best things about dogs is their curiosity and desire to play.

Tip # 3 – step outside of your daily routine, take the dog out for a walk, and pledge to have at least one experience a week that is just plain fun.

“I FORGIVE YOU.” Even if you come home late, skip a walk, run out of their favorite treat, or accidently step on their tail, your dog will not hold a grudge against you. Humans, on the other hand, can hold on to real or imagined insults forever! All this does is create stress and keep us from moving on with our lives. Tip # 4 – let go of bitterness and resentment toward yourself or others.

“I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT.” Our work environment and educational system are based on the carrot and stick: “Do this for me and I’ll give you that.” Unfortunately, Garry McDaniel and Sharon Massen speak nationally on
