I attended the wedding of a former roommate in NYC a couple of weekends ago. The event was unbelievably elegant, from the ceremony at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine and my friend’s Prada wedding dress, to the luncheon reception at Riverbank State Park. We were greeted at the reception with tray after tray of hors d’oeuvre. My personal favorite? The mac and cheese croquettes. I couldn’t help but think that back home in Minnesota, we'd stick a Popsicle stick in them, call them "Mac and Cheese on a Stick" and serve them at the State Fair. Did I mention the bride is originally from Wisconsin? You can take a girl out of the Midwest….
