#MKEPride

While having pride in who and what you are - and how to gain that pride - is the main focus of Greater Milwaukee Men, the other piece of the puzzle is pride in where you are, and since we are talking about Milwaukee, we focus on everything good about the Greater Milwaukee Area: the city, county, and surrounding area.

This shot shows some of the best parts of MKE -
our downtown, the arts, and the lake
You will see many posts here about the great things in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee needs it. Milwaukee is not only underestimated by everyone else, but even Milwaukeeans themselves. In recent years, however, the word has been getting out about the well-kept secret that is Milwaukee. We are getting awards and showing up on many lists of the top communities for various cultural assets. Most of these things make Milwaukee a great place for men, as we talked about in our Milwaukee: Mecca For The Modern Man story.

As we hear of these achievements by our home, we will compile them all here so that everyone can see how great Milwaukee is. Here are the lists that Milwaukee has made:
It is all well and good for other people to think well of us, but we need Milwaukeeans to shout out our love for the city as well, here are the words of those who have done so:
If you know of one we missed please let us know in the comments and we will add it.

No Festivals That Cancel Aren't Taking Away Your Freedom

A photo of the street festival I organize.  We saw them all last year, and they are cropping up again this year. Festivals small and large cancelling. A common reaction, at least in social media announcement post comments is something like this: "Why don't you just have the festivals? If people want to go, they will go." Is it that simple? Just hold the festival and let however many people are comfortable going show up? Of course it's not. But people with this reaction won't even take a minute to ponder the consequences, and not from a public health standpoint but to the festival itself. They have no idea what it takes to put one on and what is involved and what you can lose if you even have only 75%, let alone 50% or less attendance. Or if they even have the capability to put it on still.  Let's take a quick, very quick, look at what goes into making this decision.

Poaching Chicken Adds Flavor, Saves Time Later (Poached Chicken & Mushrooms With Umami Rice)

Image
Poaching chicken (sous vide as well) is a great way to do some prep work to save time later, while adding flavor at the same time. I whipped up this recipe with tons of flavor using limited ingredients. It could be seen as a Clean Eating recipe, but it was created to be a Low Residue meal for prep day for a colonoscopy, following all the rules, which also works for people with IBD or similar digestive issues.

Nutritional Yeast Is My Fregan Recipe Secret Weapon (Mushroom Onion Casserole Recipe)

Image
In my quest to east healthier and give up certain things as a flexitarian (or as I just made up: Fregan), I have developed an arsenal of special ingredients like smoke salt, onion and pepper water (from their jars); none are as useful and versatile as nutritional yeast. Sometimes mistakenly called brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast is known mostly as a popcorn topping, or to vegetarians and especially vegans as a cheese substitute, but it has so many more uses.  I used to in three ways in one recipe I just created that is both vegan and gluten-free: Mushroom Onion Casserole with Crispy Tofu.
