Hotdish

- The 4th Annual Northeast Hotdish Revolution will be taking place next Sunday, April 13th, in the banquet hall above Crescent Moon Bakery.  It's kind of a "battle of the boroughs," with residents of Holland, Sheridan, Bottineau, Windom Park, Audubon Park and St. Anthony West Park encouraged to bring their best casserole.  Doors open at 4:00pm for hotdish chefs, judging at 4:30pm, then dinner at 5:00pm.  Suggested donation is $5 if you enter a dish, otherwise $10 for adults and $5 for kids.

I'm actually contemplating bringing something to the contest this year.  I have 2 extraordinarily good hotdishes; one is straight-up, canned soup and macaroni goodness, while the other is a healthier, vegetable and cheese-type thing.  Categories for the contest are "Spicy" (not my quotation marks), Vegetarian, Tater Tot, Kids Under 16 and Darn Good, for anything that doesn't fit into the other categories. 

Both my hotdish joints happen to fall under the "Spicy" (like, for real spicy), Vegetarian and God Damn Good categories.

- Those that bemoaned the relocation of Totino's Italian Kitchen can quit their bitching and start eating spaghetti again.  The former Northeast institution reopened last week at their new Mounds View location.

- Chiapas restaurant is STILL not open, despite the most recent sign claiming the remodeling was supposed to be done last week.  Also, a new Mexican bakery is going in across Central from Chiapas (and next door Northeast staple Durango Bakery), close to Adelita's restaurant.

P.S. I'm not clever enough to make April Fools' Day pranks, so sorry.

Some guy I know Rickrolled the local Livejournal community today, which I thought was pretty funny. Not the prank itself, just the angry comments that follow, which affirm that Livejournal continues to be a little too overrun with adult teenagers lacking in any semblance of a reasonable sense of humor.

It's hard to find a good vegetarian hotdish. Keep up the good fight!

What time does the Revolution begin?

Whoops, that's called sidetracked blogging. I reedited the post to include time and price.
