Fabulous Winter Getaway - Minocqua, WI

0
0
Family weekend getaways are the best time to visit new places. Grab the school schedule and look for a long weekend for a fabulous getaway to northern Wisconsin. A recent visit to Minocqua, Wisconsin with the kids was enough for me to want to go back for an adventure of snowmobiling, supper clubbing and ice fishing.  Our fall visit was filled with beautiful color changes, bike riding and horseback riding through some of the most  beautiful country  in Wisconsin I have ever seen. It sure helped that we were there at the peak time to see forests of trees changing colors and dropping leaves and where inlands of lakes peeked out in unexpected places. The weather was crisp at night and  warm in the day. Whether you visit in winter, spring, summer or fall, there is plenty to do. Each season boasts beauty and outdoor activities to keep kids busy. It is a comfortable yet lengthy drive from Milwaukee, Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois but it's a beautiful drive. 

Our top list of must-do's:

Holiday Acres
This multi-generation family owned amusement park is small enough to call it cozy with plenty to do to keep the kids busy for a few hours. We took a horseback trail ride, went go-cart racing and enjoyed a late afternoon just exploring the grounds. 

The acreage on the trail was breathtaking and put us right in the mood for a true Northwoods experience.  It's conveniently located and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly and seemed to love to talk about  the history of Minocqua and all its beauty. A great first stop to begin your summer or fall vacation. Open Daily May-October. 

The Waters
Fabulous! A secret waterpark in the middle of beauty. As parents know, kids love a great waterpark. This resort boasts 2 slides, and indoor/outdoor jacuzzi, kind pool and an indoor and outdoor pool. A game arcade, free breakfast, great coffee,  and they welcome dogs to stay in the hotel! The staff was so incredibly friendly, they made you feel like you were staying with a much-loved relative! ! Ideal as a location for a family reunion, the resort can accommodate large parties, hold weddings and celebrate birthdays. We stayed in a loft room which was perfect for a party of 4 and a dog. The kids slept upstairs and had their own television and a half bath. Downstairs, there was a private balcony, full bath, bedroom and a pull out couch. The room was comfortable, spacious and felt more like home. It is open all year. We think is is the best cozy winter getaway secret in the Northwoods!

The Boathouse
Supper clubbing is a Wisconsin term and something very prevalent in the Northwoods. Expect a casual dining experience with live piano music, great food served supper club style!  We ordered the daily special of crab legs and lobster. The seafood was fresh, prepared well and served with a smile.  Our waiter was timely and explained the menu well. Under new ownership, we were able to get a little bit of history of the restaurant and one thing you do not want to miss is the bar. The most beautiful piece of woodwork I have ever seen. It actually comes from the Brunswick (think pool tables) company and was shipped from Michigan It's hard not to miss because it stands out like a piece of delicate art. My children enjoyed the live piano music and the new dining experience. I had a nice chat with one of the owners, Bill Fricke who gave me some insight into the summer plans for the Boathouse. Put this one on your list. It's well worth-it.

The Thirsty Whale
This iconic landmark boasts unbelievable views of Lake Minocqua. A casual place to enjoy a Wisconsin Fish Fry, this restaurant dates back to with an interesting history. It's all on the menu to read! It's closed for the winter though as business slows down in this area during the winter so put this on your #1 must-do for summer. It's the best place to see the Mini Aqua-bats water-ski show. 

Chequamegon Adventure Company
You will not want to miss renting a bike on your trip if visiting in the Spring, Summer or fall. This bike shop is located right in town and you can rent a bike and head straight to a biking trail. They will show you how to get there. They offer all sizes and you can rent by the hour or by the day. We rode over a trestle and into an area that was residential on quiet streets with a lot of scenery.  However, if you can take the bikes with you by car, we recommend heading to Lac De Flambeau area.

Wildwood Wildlife Park
A zoo with a bear you can actually feed soda! I'm not kidding. This is home to over 750 mammals including reptiles, primates, deer, coatimundi and birds of prey. They are not open in the winter however, if you visit in September, don't miss their annual Zoo Boo Event.

Kids can wear costumes and trick or treat at company sponsored stops along the way. My kids walked away with candy bars, toothbrushes, coupons and a ton of other candy. Happy kids!
Open April-October

Minocqua is a small town with an adorable downtown area. There are plenty of fabulous restaurants. But, one thing worth mentioning is that there are large full service grocery stores in town as well.  Two of them are open 24 hours.  Personally, I think part of your family Northwoods experience should include a cozy dinner at home.  Whether it is just dessert and a board game after a full day of activities, family together time is what makes a vacation special. A must-try is the Swedish Flop Cake sold at the Save More marketplace. Trigs and Wal-Mart are the other grocery stores that are all close driving distance from hotels and resorts and offer everything else you may need.

If you plan a winter family vacation, visit minocqua.com to look for current winter activities, snowmobiling routes, cross country ski trails and the best ice fishing spots.

Weekend Recipe:Paneer Makhhanwala

0
0

It is said “Trying is always enough”. This is what happened when I introduced paneer to my 2 yr old. I had prepared Paneer makhanwala for my friends and my son tasted it for the first time. Now he insists of having either kheer or Paneer. These two are his favorites. Here is the recipe of Paneer Makhanwala; I recently made for my friends.

Ingredients:
250 gms Paneer or Cottage cheese
3 medium Tomatoes
1 tbsp Tomato ketchup
1" Ginger, chopped
12-15 cashew nuts or 1/4 cup Water melon seeds
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Kashmiri Red chilli powder
1 tsp Coriander powder
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds powder
1/4 Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Kasuri methi
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
2 tbsp Oil
1 tbsp Butter

Method:

Cut the Paneer pieces into cubes. Keep the pieces in warm water for some time; this would keep the paneer cubes soft. One can shallow paneer pieces, like I have done it.

Cut tomatoes and bell paper in appropriate size. One can avoid bell pepper if they wish to. Also make tomato puree by boiling the tomatoes and peeling the skin off.

Blanch cashew nuts in warm water for 3-4 minutes.

Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and fry ginger.

Add the chopped tomatoes and bell pepper and fry for a couple of minutes. Add tomato ketchup, coriander powder, cumin seeds powder, turmeric powder and salt as per taste and fry all of this for a minute. Allow the mixture to cool for a while.

Grind the boiled tomatoes into a puree form. Do the same process with the blanched cashew nuts.

Heat oil and 1 tsp butter in a pan, add cumin seeds. Once the seeds crackle, add the tomato puree into it and allow it to fry till it leaves oil.

Add the cashew nuts paste and mix it well. Cook it for a couple of minutes and keep adding water to make the right consistency.

Add red chilly powder, garam masala and kasuri methi into the pan and mix it well.It would look like this.

Add the fried paneer pieces into the mixture and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Turn the gas off and let the gravy cool a bit.

The paneer makhanwala is ready to be served.

CHUNGKING MANSIONS

This place reminds me of the building that the movie Dredd takes place in, minus all the futuristic bits and slow motion drugs.

Chungking Mansions is a building located at 36-44 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The building is well known as nearly the cheapest accommodation in Hong Kong with a single bed of US $8 one night. Though the building is supposedly residential, it is made up of many independent low-budget hotels, shops, and other services. The strange atmosphere of this building is sometimes called by some “the scent of Kowloon’s Walled City”.

Bucketlisted.
