A few times a week we are fortunate to have dinner with my Mom, Aunt Jan and sometimes other family members. We have some meals at Aunt Jan’s, some at our Airbnb, and several at Cousin Barb and Paul’s home during our stay.

A few meals over the past month stand out in my mind, starting with a walleye fish fry for 20 people hosted by Cousins Ron and Dawn one of the first weekends we are in town.

There’s a Thai restaurant named Eat just two blocks from our Airbnb. I pass by it almost every day on my morning walk. One Wednesday we order take-out from Eat and Mom, Jan and Barb have their first Thai food experience. The restaurant offers four heat levels, so we ask for the most dishes at mild (1) or no heat(0). Good thing - even the mild gives quite a kick! Everyone finds they have a favorite or two but all find the food to be very good and an interesting new experience.

​For another meal we make home made lasagna. In preparation William cooks up a batch of his famous spaghetti sauce (which is a delicious meal for us, Mom and Aunt Jan on Tuesday). Thursday we make home made ricotta. The gallon of milk, pint of cream, pinch of salt and 4 ounces of vinegar yields over two pounds of cheese. We have fun watching the process as William stirs for approximately 40 minutes bringing the ingredients to a boil. Saturday we assemble two lasagnas. One is popped into the freezer and the other is put in the refrigerator to be baked for Sunday’s dinner. Mmmmm!

We have a wonderful steak dinner Monday and a fantastic beef roast dinner on Thursday of the last week we are in Bismarck. It’s beef that is raised and butchered locally in North Dakota. Very, very, good!

On a number of mornings William and I go to Kroll’s Diner for breakfast, a local favorite since 1969. William orders the Meatlover’s Breakfast, which includes four eggs served with two strips double-smoked bacon, two link sausages and two country sausage patties. Oy! We take some home each time we visit.

​
When talking about local foods with the family many people comment about going to Big Boy (yes, Bismarck still has a Big Boy!) for a pizza burger “flying style” (grilled in a sandwich press) and “hot ‘n tots” (a cinnamon coke). We didn’t make it to Big Boy on this trip... maybe next time. 🙂
