ETYMOLOGY:

Middle English genealogie, from Old French, from Late Latin genelogia, from Greek genelogi : gene, family; see gen- in Indo-European roots + -logi,-logy

               While in Wisconsin, I got to spend a little time re-connecting with some family history:

identifying the family tree file



I also got to see the house my grandma and grandpa lived in for as long as I could remember.

It has been refurbished and is a beautiful example of so many victorian homes in this area
made with the yellow brick from the local factory.

the white house on the right, now a separate residence, was originally the carriage house

 the vintage fence was found in the basement by the new owners and re-installed

still using up summer's "bounty"
pretty light bounty here in the northwest where we had a very short summer

here's a take on a favorite tailgate item Noni brought to the UW game:
 jalapenos stuffed with creamcheese/bluecheese mix and wrapped in turkey bacon.

Noni's tailgate'n' jalapeno boats

Noni's had regular cream cheese topped with a salami strip and wrapped in regular bacon,
 and there were none left when it was over...
roasting actually removes much of the heat from the peppers- roast at 350˚ for about 20 minutes
be sure to use rubber gloves when cutting up the jalapenos or you'll be sorry, believe me
