The Wisconsin DNR says do not release pet fish into local waterways. “People are probably thinking I don’t really want to flush my goldfish or get rid of it, so I’ll just release it into the wild.” explained Erin McFarlane a Statewide Clean Boats, Clean Waters Educator with UWSP. “That goldfish isn’t naturally from Wisconsin.

May 28th is National Burger Day!Despite being a vegetarian, I know my way around a delicious burger. It’s alllll about the toppings and I think there’s something that’s way underutilized: ONIONS!Now I love onions in all form and fashion: red, sweet, caramelized, raw. You name it, I’ll eat ’em. I also love an onion or pretzel bun. Yum! It just changes the whole flavor profile of the burger. But the one onion that is way underused is the French Fried Onion.
