Consider this post Green Millipedia, as they have an expansive, special new menu for staying fit, to keep your new year’s yearnings in check, with great green goings-on and more. Complete with seasoning with substance, such as sausages, saucy but light, and garlic garnishing galore at Green Mill — but no gluten. (Low-priced prize pizza kept, and you can buy beer for often as little as three bucks.)

Great pizza in numerous styles also, but Green Mill right now is indeed going green and beyond with a special staying-fit menu of seven dishes, and that number is symbolic of perfection, to add to their many food options. And these entrees can — and virtually always do — have a perfect ten number of ingredients. Or even as many as 15. And still manage to stay healthy, using lighter ingredients such as cavatappi (multiple times) and even making the ranch dressing smokin’ in style. And bunches of bruschetta.

The Green Mill Eating Fit! menu features healthier alternatives, just in time for keeping your New Year resolutions, but it’s only here for a limited span, so get in shape by way of Green Mill and their greens and much more quite fast. This menu is available through Feb. 18. So have you kept your weeks-old resolutions, maybe with Green Mill’s help, through then? And dropped a few pounds too? Fit can be fun and fantastically tasty. Ask The Mill, as they’ve been through that drill …

— Did we mention garlic? The ways it’s served up at Green Mill include as straight-up, in rounds, buttered and/or mayo, and cream sauce that can be seasoned, including as “hurricane.” See some of this on their occasional, cool and also can-be-fiery specialty burger special with fries or fruit for $9.99, and these are stacked much higher than the fist of a big guy with a hearty appetite, or via their $5 quick satisfaction survey to get discounted grub, and maybe woven into their special homemade dough in take-and-bake (see below.) —

So many of the fit pastas you can tie into, can be served gluten friendly by swapping out a main ingredient of the dish for gluten-free penne noodles, for just $2.99. That’s like for three bites of a typical cheeseburger! But they really change up and vary their components, especially on this special menu.
Thus, try the gluten-free Sausage Bruschetta Cavatappi with Italian as the sausage, roasted tomato bruschetta, spinach, and cavatappi tossed in a garlic cream sauce. It’s topped with fresh basil and parmesan for $16.99, weighing in at only 490 calories.
Another such Cavatappi, the Grilled Parmesan Chicken, uses cavatappi noodles, garlic, spinach, and tomato bruschetta sautéed in an Italian herb sauce. And topped with zesty tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and fresh basil.
The BBQ Grilled Chicken Bowl tosses in so many veggies such as cabbage, spinach, and brown rice quinoa. Topped with corn, tomatoes, red and green onions, black beans, bacon, roasted jalapeños, cilantro, BBQ sauce, and smokey ranch dressing. Only $15.99.
Also take your Chicken in an Asparagus Stir Fry Bowl, adding again cabbage, red bell peppers, celery, and onions tossed in a sesame stir fry sauce atop a bed of brown rice quinoa. Topped with roasted jalapeños, cilantro, green onions, and fried noodles. You can substitute shrimp for a couple of bucks.
Italian Sausage Goddess Pizza makes the crust extra thin with spinach, portobello mushrooms, onions, tomato bruschetta, garlic, and mozzarella. Spicy sausage, parmesan, and green goddess dressing are piled on and the price drops to $14.99. It’s at 80 calories per slice, and has eight slices.
In the Meatball & Roasted Bruschetta Fettuccine, the meatballs are crumbled a bit, there’s the garlic again, and spinach, roasted tomato bruschetta, and fettuccine tossed in a zesty Italian tomato cream sauce. Topped with parmesan.
The Chicken Stir Fry Salad throws in romaine and uses marinated meat, broccoli, water chestnuts, pea pods, red peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and roasted cashews, in teriyaki sauce. Topped with fried noodles for $15.99. You can substitute shrimp too.
Why do they call it Gluten Friendly? The following is Green Millapedia. The indicated items are termed gluten-free, but because of using high-gluten flour in their kitchen, there is a (small) chance of cross-contamination on menu items.

This restaurant and bar establishment caters to many people with more upscale nightlife and dining tastes and for example, you are likely to encounter international business travelers staying at nearby motels, and also the group of local regulars with much similar resumes that lay claim to the south side of the big circular bar, most all of whom can engage you in some fascinating conversation. At Green Mill, it can be anything from Kashmir, or Hong Kong, to the Green Bay Packers, and one of their globe-trotting patrons has combined all those ends of things. And oh, this is more than drinks, as their food is award-winning, with the pizza and its creative takes voted best in Minnesota and the surrounding area for several years running. But those drinks … Just for starters, there are long happy hours twice a weekday and beer on a month where you can get a draft for three bucks or just a bit more.
(For a rerun on my breakdown of pitcher price versus buckets of beer, as it concerns Green Mill, see the Blasts From The Past department. And the post below.)

Take advantage of these takeout and delivery specials — with a new one offered every day of the week, and there’s an ongoing seven-day special — when calling a favorite location, such as Hudson. (Add an order of Cheese Bread for $5.) Sorry, but you can’t eat it in. Valid at participating Green Mill locations. You can choose between their well-known Classic Thin, Old World, and Pescara crusts only, as Green Mill gives you all kinds of different takes on pizza thickness.
On Mondays, a large one-topping pizza for just $11.99; Tuesdays, any of their numerous two pastas for $26.99, or any specialty pizzas for $17.99; Wednesdays, their large pizzas, two toppings this time, $14.99; Thursdays, two-medium, two-topping pizzas, at another great price.
Then Friday and Saturday, feed the whole family with a massive meal deal, $37.99, with two large, two topping pizzas and an order of garlic cheese bread.
On Sunday, fork over just $14.99 for a large, one-topping deep-dish pizza. Everyday, for just ten bucks more, get a large, two-topping pizza and an order of wings.
Enjoy lunch, the staff suggests, as they wait to serve you. Then get back to your day. They trust you will be back.
For slices, a choice of pepperoni, sausage or veggie combo for $4.99; such a slice along with a side salad for $8.99; add a second salad to that for two dollars more; and soup of the day in a bowl for $7.49.
Go big with a pizza party that includes a large, 2-topping pizza and an order of award-winning wings, available for takeout and delivery only and around for a limited time for a special $24.99 pricing, and an order of cheese bread for $5.

  • I’ll be brief and punchy with this headline notation, as we transition to giving you more and sometimes shorter choices. And you may notice some of that as you beckon forward. It’s circular. Like a flush. Be careful what you mix, heads vs. text, drinks vs. food, and all kinds of potions — that may go bump in the night. —– Punchy, potentially, but I digress or progress with a new patriotic addition.
My mom has told me not to be a potty mouth when I write, as she certainly would not appreciate hardly any of the standup humor on say, Comedy Central Radio. SNL maybe.

  • This coulda been Vanna White’s next Big gig In The Sky, if the scaffolding was not so high. So this is how the project went, by the letters and numbers, of get Trump’s name erased from the Kennedy Center. The $250 bill might be tougher. Sad but true. So, What are there more of going on right now, wars or Trump pet construction projects?
So the wall is down. Of letters, that is. Not down by Mexico. Cemented into the concrete. Of the Kennedy Center. Where music has sat. (Near where a now defunct wrestling arena rusts in peace. Or a bloodied White House lawn. With leftover paper cups and plates, more likely bowls and small utensils, anyone?) Or more ornate than inside? A tarp the size of Pennsylvania, the predominant battle state, covers workers as they chip. So geez, how big are the letters? Four times 50 living workers high? But now none remain, or so we are told by flunkies. Or is...

  • Stressed out as a caregiver? She’s back at yah. This is a rare case of a husband and wife being joint caregivers — for each other — aided and abbetted by the fact that they have a lot of the same disabling conditions. So she shovels snow using a walker/scooter, while he cooks gingerly using a microwave and offers her a plate when she sits down, in an easy chair, in a reversal and new take on traditional roles. Whatever it takes. Necessity is the mother of invention. —– In a new add, Towns and the champion Knicks got kicked around but still got their kicks in the long run … As do Norwegian dancers.
A few years back, I wrote an article about Hudson Deacon Tom Kroll and how he did so many extra dutiful tasks, his living out the Gospels tirelessly, when his wife was ill, in addition to his regular job. I was inspired at the time to pen this, about my own lovely, disabled wife — we were separated briefly but now back together with our 40th anniversary this month, as wholehearted caregiving has many strains — and how an atypical view of standard roles, out of necessity, made things work, as far as our approach to work and home that’s...

  • He says, and goes fishing with the boys. She says, then goes to the middle of Texas, inviting her mates to a ranch/villa built for the ages. The bachelor and bachelorette parties were on the same night, but though very different, they had some things in common … like the snakes, at least three kinds, to avoid. (None with exotic dancer.) But while away, they did not avoid each other, completely. He made a phone call. —– Just added, last call included a Carolina cowpoke.
What do fishing, maybe in the dark, thus a Texas ranch, snakes of various types and do they come or stay out after dusk, eating either and only fine food or snacks, and a game of cards — likely just one each — have in common. And no strippers or Chippendales. And an only half or quarter, not full Monty. (Who is Monty anyway?) Or cowboy or cowgirl hats. Although there was some dress-up. More Barbie than boots on, I think. It’s an easy answer, connected and conflicting, but not in all or dirty ways, bachelor and bachelorette parties. One of each...

  • Full metal jacket? Hey, I wasn’t exactly to the point of going Rob Halford. But tastes aside, there must be some reason why after 26 years I was shunned, like going Bob Daisley by Ozzy at his reunion? OK, I know, my style may not have fit with the packed crowd. And the last couple of times for this, I tried to do too much with ad-libbing. So yeah, I get that this time around, I was the somewhat unusual choice to be the one left off the set list, with singers clamoring to get up there. But seriously, just being analytical of strengths and weaknesses as a singer here, no hard feelings. I’m not Dio. (Or Traveling Wilburys, a when jumping inside, inside joke.)
It was clear to me at the most recent Jeff Loven music show in Hudson, for Memorial Day weekend, that there has been a changing of the guard. The sword has been passed. New blood, like Yungblud, has been brought in. And, I must say, loyalty — amongst the devotees who travel frequently and all across the two-state area to virtually all of Jeff’s shows — has been rewarded. They are the royalty, in what just makes good business sense that I can appreciate. In a significant but not unprecedented altering of course, I was not one of those asked...

  • Songs by Napalm Death? A fire swept down my very street today, where the babies were burned. (But alas, a new A/C unit is on its way up the freeway.) The Stones did not leave these themes unturned, either, or should I say unrolled. Oh wait, this all was my cooker of an apartment, and we are not talking the kitchen. But all these matters will become more pressing, a pressure point, as the new normal especially in southern climes is temp well into the triple digits. It is these people, the third world, and their heat stroke not mine, that most concern me. (Another example of hellfire temps just added. Sin after Sin.)
Trial by fire. My broiling heart in my efficiency flat still beats a bit, in concern over those boiling over in worse apartments in a Chicago tenancy, or on an ocean island instantly-burn-your-feet beach or dessert, or forced to endure ice baths just to keep cool — or simply be offered no way to maintain an ice-dripping body other than also read a non-cookbook at the library, or select not a big steak you can’t afford but a 73/27 burger from a freezer and slap it on your forehead. Just not too hard. All these things are ones where you especially today either burn or...
