Almost Wordless Wednesday: The Milwaukee Art Museum

A few of the pieces that caught my attention.

The Quadracci Pavilion, as you enter the man entrance,

designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

 

Donald Judd. Untitled, 1981
Chuck Close
Kehinde Wiley.  St. Dionysus, 2006.
We caught one of the guards napping. 

It's a wonderful collection. Make time to check it out 
next time you are in Milwaukee.

The Odd Duck: "Delightfully Scrumptious" and Many Other Superlatives

I recently had the privilege of eating at the Odd Duck, a nationally recognized Milwaukee restaurant, and savored every minute of it.

Let's start with the menu: extraordinary, noteworthy, phenomenal, remarkable, rare, singular, sensational, memorable and very, very special. The dishes are delectable, delightful, rewarding, tasty, luscious and yummy. I prefer not to overuse superlatives, but in this can justify making an exception. 

The Odd Duck is a Milwaukee restaurant with a menu that must be experienced to be believed. The word "Odd" means different or unusual. In other words it's the perfect place to escape the "same old, same old." I've often written about expanding one's boundaries, coloring outside the lines and escaping from the status quo. The Odd Duck is a place where you can do this with your taste buds. Let yourself go.



The restaurant describes its menu is ever changing and globally inspired. HERE is a sample. The only problem with this The Odd Duck for me, personally, is that it is between 6 and 7 hours from my home. 

For more information about its history, philosophy and the people who conspire to make these culinary dreams come true, visit https://oddduckrestaurant.com/

Lamb Manti Dumplings have been a hit this past several months.
Look for something new soon.

My son Micah and I shared this Mediterranean-inspired dish
that he created. Almost too tasty to be true.

I forgot to take the photo as the chicken was being served.

The chocolate cheesecake was unbelievable.

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Milwaukee Public Museum

The Milwaukee Public Museum
is a natural history and human history museum rolled into one.

but only for the want of wonder."--G.K. Chesterton
