TROLLS!!! TROLLS!!! TROLLS!!!!

New Glarus had cows, Mount Horeb had trolls!! We went on a troll scavenger hunt through out the town. There were a couple we didn't get, oh well next time! We were hoping to see a troll under a bridge, no such luck:-) 

Grumpy Troll Pizzeria Mount Horeb WI

Welcome to the Grumpy Troll in Mount Horeb WI:-) There is a bar, a restaurant, and their pizzeria is located upstairs. Hours vary for the pizzeria so be sure to look for the times depending on the day.

This is what a one and a half pound of pretzel looks like! We were quite amused at how thick the pretzel was compared to her wrist:-)

Half Italian Troll half Cosmic Swirl pizza was quite a combination. I wanted to try something different, not sure what that meant until I had the Cosmic Swirl. As much as I love chicken, I'm not a big fan of having it on my pizza. But oh that first bite was the different I was looking for. I didn't mind the chicken, it was fresh adding flavor to what was already on the pizza. The cucumbers were refreshing. I didn't taste the basil and the Thai chili sauce added a certain twist to my taste buds. I really liked the Cosmic Swirl, as strange as the toppings may have been, I was not disappointed at all. Before taking a bite of the Italian Troll, I picked off the meats. Even without the flavors from the meats, the pizza was just as flavorful.

New Glarus WI

 Random pictures while walking around Village of New Glarus-America's Little Switzerland in Wisconsin. I had fun looking for cows, unfortunately I didn't see to many.

FireHouse Pizza Palace Janesville, WI

For my nephews birthday dinner, we went to FireHouse Pizza Palace in Janesville, WI. When we arrived at FireHouse, I was a little confused because the building didn't look like it was open for business. I kept asking my sister if we were at the right place:-). Never mind that the walls were green and that we were the only ones dining in at the moment because once I took my first bite of the pizza, I forgot about the green walls and appreciated my pizza. FireHouse makes their pizzas in a wood fired oven. The pizzas had a lot of flavors, from the cheese to the toppings to the marinara sauce, if you are looking for a pizza that is made in a wood fired oven, give FireHouse Pizza a try!

Pictures of our Chicago Fun Adventure!! Part One.

Oz Park

After eating at Homeslice pizza, we were curious to see what else was in the area. We walked through Oz Park taking pictures of Dorothy and her friends, didn't see The Lion though (apparently he was on the other side of the park). We admired the homes, how beautiful the trees & flowers were, and how clean Lincoln Park was. I'm glad I had the opportunity to explore more of what Chicago had to offer:-)

Homeslice Lincoln Park Chicago, Illinois

On our way to visit friends in Chicago Illinois, we stopped by Homeslice pizza in Lincoln Park. Not only did we adore Lincoln Park and appreciated the nice relaxing walks around the area, we absolutely loved our pizzas from Homeslice. For starters, Tammy ordered a 'Bloody'. This was my first time seeing a slice of pizza on top of a Bloody Mary or any kind of drink for that matter. When it was time to order a pizza, she chose Green Eggs  & Pie, I selected Da Duba (please see below for specifics on the toppings). 
The pizzas tasted just as good as they looked in the pictures. The moment Tammy took a bite of her pizza(Green Eggs & Pie) her eyes danced with delight which then came with a smile that said it all.
I don't think my eyes danced when I took my first bite of the pizza but the flavors were very welcoming and fresh. Even though the Da Duba didn't look as much fun as the Green Eggs & Pie, I was just as satisfied eating the Da Duba pizza. 
Since it was Sunday morning, imagine our surprise when we were asked for our id cards before going inside! 
Our experience at Lincoln Park and Homeslice was definitely a memorable one.
