Wisconsin cuisine

Gretchen continues to have a great time in Wisconsin and, of course, to miss me like the deserts miss the rain (to quote Everything But The Girl). She was telling me that the other day, in addition to picking up a bag of fresh cheese curds at the Farmer's Market in Madison (which I'm assuming were suitably squeaky) for the drive up north, she went out with a friend of hers that night to a restaurant in the urban mecca of Eagle River to sample one of the local specialties: cranberry meatballs. Evidently these are meatballs which have been stewed in cranberries (a local specialty, as Gretchen will proudly tell you) and sauerkraut. Serve them at your next dinner party!
