No self respecting Texan would buy a cookbook of Yankee recipes....
I don't even understand why
we need so many posts about Green Bay?
Unless it's about a recent Bigfoot sighting.
jus sayin'.
My dear mongrel friend ...
Reason 1. One of your board moderators happens to be a Green Bay Packer fan from his youth near that city. In fact, that board moderator happens to be a part-owner of the franchise (my stock certificate is framed above my desk) and even more rare than than, owner of season tickets. I actually got the info on the online cookbook from an email from the Packers, who have a website for their far-flung fans (in the past, they've talked about Packer fans in places like Mongolia, watching the Super Bowl at some ungodly hour in the morning on satellite).
Reason 2. The Packers are reallly the closest thing you'll find to six-man football in the NFL. Small town, everyone has a stake in the success of the team, stuff like that. People there know the Packers because they see them in the grocery store, at Walmart, or around town. And as such, stuff which isn't news in big markets like Dallas is big news in Green Bay. I remember a neat article a year or so about the two ladies who are the Packer seamstresses (I think I posted that one).
