2. Add 1 cup of finely cut up candied or dried fruit ornuts halfway through the bread machine knead cycle or during step 2 of the conventional oven directions on the bag.

These are just as tasty as they are cute!  I wanted to find another use for my aebleskiver iron and these turned out to be a family favorite.

Recipe:

1 Bag Midwestern Corn bread

1/2 cup chopped Chives

1 cup 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch sharp cheddar cheese cubes

Directions:

Prepare cornbread batter as directed and add the chives.  Over medium heat either spray aebleskiver iron with nonstick cooking spray or put a dab of butter in each basin.  Fill each basin 1/3 full with corn bread mixture about then place a cube of cheese in the center of each and then top with just enough corn bread mixture to cover the cheese.  Then when edges are brown and bubbling, flip over with wooden chopsticks or something similar.  Cook for a minute or so longer on this side.  Repeat process until batter is all gone and enjoy!

Sturdiwheat gave away 5  Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzle grills to the winner of each flipping contest.  It was very entertaining to watch the contestants flip flapjacks over their heads adorned in chef hads and Sturdiwheat checkered aprons.  We had never seen so many pancakes hit the ground just to be scooped up again and tossed about by all the giggling children armed with spatulas.  Hope to see you all next year and keep up the good flippin’.

Many people have been wondering why they have not seen the Delta Queen on the Mississippi River this year.  This historic steamboat as well as the Mississippi Queen and American Queen have been regular visitors here in Red Wing, MN for many decades.  None of these beautiful boats will be carrying passengers in 2009.  Ambassador International owns the three paddle wheelers and announced that there will be no scheduled trips this year and that all three boats are up for sale.  The Delta Queen was built in 1927 and was the oldest overnight passenger steamboat operating in the United States.  On October 31, 2008 the exemption from modern shipbuilding codes expired prohibiting the Delta Queen from operating on any river due to her wooden substructure.  The Delta Queen is now being used as a floating hotel (not allowed to leave the dock with passengers) in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The other two steamboats are docked at the Perry Street Wharf in New Orleans.  The future of these historic boats is any one’s guess.  One organization is trying to motivate Congress to allow the Delta Queen go back into operation on the river.  For more information go to www.save-the-delta-queen.org

Dad may have lost the contest but he got bonus points for cuteness!  Has anyone ever caught a sauger this small? For those of you that have never heard of a sauger, its very similar to a walleye.  Needless to say all we heard all night was “My fish was so much bigger than Dad’s”.  Hoping to have a Sturdiwheat fish fry this weekend if we can catch more of the big ones and less of the cute ones!
