Minnesota The Mississippi River Headwaters Corn-On-Cob Labor Day

Well hello to all you foodies out there in webland I hope this finds you all well.  This week I have been visiting the wonderful state of Minnesota with eatting, fishing, site-seeing and we will be going to the casinos tomorrow.   Having a great time and I think everyone one should come here and visit.  Its not to hot and the people are just great and I love hearing them talk.  We are staying on the Mississippi River at a friends house who has written like six books and he is working on a couple more and he just happens to also be my sister Imogene's Father-in-law.  His name is Steven D. Clark and has books titled, "A Damn Tough Dude-Bradi Mulheron" and "Navy Gold" is another.  He is a fiction writer and very good at what he does.  His in his 80's and loving life and has alot more to offer to all of us here and is a true American.  If you are interested in his books he has a book club and his email is iwritethebooks@live.com and tell him I said it was OK to write him.  He knows alot about history and fishing come on up here and he'd be happy to go fishing with you all.  Hey maybe that should be his next book, How To Fish You All.  We have been eatting our way all the way from SC and I have alot to write about in my next blog from the pork to the fried Cheese Curds.  Let me tell you that if you would like to see the head of the Mississippi coming right out of the ground its right here in Itasca Stte Park.  Did you know that in the 1800's there was a earth quake and I think the town was called Liberty?  Anywho it was swallowed up by the earth quake and the Mississippi River flowed backwards for like 12 days.  You never know when a earth quake with hit, just like today it started in Virginia and ran all the way to NY and down to Atlanta.  Wow that is all I can say!  What if something happened in the earth and the Mississippi dried up, oh my, just think of how many states that would effect?  Anywho we will be heading back to SC in a couple of days and I will miss being here but I will be home in time for Labor day so let me give you a recipe for corn-on-cob that is wonderful with B.B.Q. and easy to make.
