6937. Play a player piano

 Our last stop in Sheboygan was the Sheboygan County Historical Museum. It was a free day and Andrea knows the volunteers. 

Since Stacy and I were there just over a year ago not much has changed so I didn't feel a need to explore the whole museum. While in the basement of the main building, Andrea decided I should play the piano. This is not always an option but since a volunteer was there, I could play the piano.

This is no ordinary piano. It is an old fashion player piano. The very nice volunteer helped me move my feet to get the piano to play.

However, I am not coordinate enough to get the pedals to move at the right speed to make much music. This is definitely for more coordinated people. 

It was fun trying but I certainly do not have the talent to try and play a player piano.

If you are ever at the Sheboygan County Historical Museum and they let you try the piano, go for it. You will probably do better than me.

6845. Try a croffle

 Back in January, Andrea sends me a message that says I found where we are going for breakfast when you come down in a few weeks. Looking at the menu and saw they had Croffles, I quickly agreed. It turns out shortly afterwards, they temporarily closed for over a month. Finally we both found time in our busy schedule to have a croffle date.

A croffle is a hybrid waffle and croissant. It is made by putting a croissant in a waffle iron to smoosh it down. It looks like a waffle but has the flaky layers of a croissant.

At Eb Flo in Sheboygan, you can have either a sweet or savory croffle. They have about 10 different varieties of croffles.

For me it was relatively easy to decide. I don't like the one ingredient or another in most of the croffles so I went with Ham and Swiss.

Andrea went sweet and had Nutella Banana.

While we waited for a table to open up inside, we sat outside and enjoyed the fire. 

Once a table opened back up, we quickly went back inside. It was not that nice out to sit outside.

O.M.G. The Croffle was amazing. The perfect combination of croissant, ham, and cheese. It was gone very quickly. Andrea said hers was amazing as well. I probably would have eaten it because the bananas weren't overly ripe. I'm very picky when it comes to bananas.

We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend Eb Flo's for a place to grab brunch when you're in Sheboygan. They have other things besides croffles and they all looked good. 

Sampling the goods at Miesfeld's Triangle Market

 While planning our Sheboygan adventure, I saw that there was a book signing at Miesfeld's Triangle Market in Sheboygan for the new Wisconsin Bucket List book. I told Andrea we should go. I would love to have a copy of the book.

Miesfeld's Triangle Market is located off of Hwy 42 in Sheboygan. It is open Monday-Friday 8-5:30 and 5 8-3 on Saturdays. It is a local meat market that carries a few other staples and alcohol.

We did not buy any meat so I can't tell you how their brats are. Andrea is not a fan but I'm still willing to try them.

The Wisconsin Bucket List book did not look all that exciting. It was rather thin so we skipped the book signing.

If we skipped the meats and the book signing? What did we do? We sampled various products. They have product sampling almost every week. It's like Costco but better. These are local products.

We started off with some cheese by The Little Brown Cow Cheese -- a small local dairy. The cheese was very good. Andrea picked some up. I had enough cheese from our cheese dealer that I had to pass on getting more. I would totally buy some in the future though.

We then samples some beef. It was amazing. The seasoning was delicious. The hubby wouldn't care for it so I didn't buy any but Andrea did.

The last thing we sampled was Old Fashions in a can. Day drinking is what we do best. The Brandy Sweet tasted just like brandy old fashion sweet even for these SoCo Old Fashion Drinking Gals.

I did buy some hard rolls. I couldn't really not buy Sheboygan hard rolls at a market in Sheboygan. The hubby was very happy when I brough those home.

If you are in the Sheboygan area, definitely check out Miesfield's especially on a Saturday when you can potentially find food and drink samples. I will definitely be back to try some of the meat products and sample more goodies.
