We finally have moved out of the "M" states and now have 8 "N" states... Here we go!  It has been a few weeks since we had a states dinner, life happens and it is really difficult to find a night where we are all home and can eat dinner together, that is part of why we are doing this.

I ordered steaks from Omaha Steaks for Nebraska.  I am not much of a beef eater, but when in the mid-west, we will eat what they eat.  Nebraska is known as the "Corn Husker" State.  We have eaten a lot of corn on our culinary journey across the U.S. and Nebraska didn't disappoint us.  We had a corn and tomato salad, which I loved but the kids didn't like it.  I also made corn fritters and corn and bacon muffins.  The kids loved both, although Conner thought the muffins needed more bacon (really! More bacon?).

To drink we had Kool-Aid Slush.  I had my first Kool-Aid Slush this summer at the Billings so I knew what a treat this was going to be.  It turns out Kool-Aid is from Nebraska and so are Eskimo Pies.  I searched the Seattle area for Eskimo Pies and finally found some.

Next stop is Nevada, my choices are either Basque cuisine or an all-you-can-eat buffet.
