Done. You may, in a pinch, substitute one dozen cream puffs
or a months' worth of Friday fish-fry if you live _in_ Milwaukee.

This is why I'm stuck in Milwaukee for the rest of my natural
days. I can't stomach Miller products unless it's a choice of
that or warm dishwater. Luckily, there are several fine local
micros. And several bars who serve beer as "properly" as you
can in the United States of Litigation^H^H^H^H^H^H America and
not have the health board shut you down. (which does, alas,
disallow hand-pulled pints or live cask-conditioned ale except
in very limited locales).

P.S. Sorry to have missed all you'all when you were in my
backyard, but I'm glad you had fun. Maybe I'll see you
in ME.
