Things I Might Need to Pack When we Move to Minnesota


Here is a list of things I'm worried won't be available in Minnesota:
Conecuh sausage
Grits
Collard Greens (I don't eat them, I just like to see them lying around)
Southern Living Magazine (I don't read it, I just like to see it lying around)
Warmth
Decent Crawfish (non-Japanese)
People who add uneccessary syllables to all words (I usually don't have an accent, but I do say 'ham' 'ha-um')
Abita beer
Sweet Potato Pie
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (can be added to everything to make everything taste better)

So, could someone in Minnesota let me know what I will need to bring with me? Or, if you have an equivalent item, you could let me know about that, too.

Comments:
good long jumper cables

thermal long underwear

waterproof boots

lots of thick blankets

a decent head coach for the Vikings

flare gun, so we can go around shooting flares at things
 
I glad I can comment here, since I couldn't think of anything to say for the last thread that, well, I wouldn't want to leave the impression I was hitting on you.

Ahem.

Available in MN:
1. Not that I know of.
2. Yes.
3. Yes, but you have to go to the co-op.
4. Yes.
5. Sometimes.
6. No. I would road trip with you to fetch some once in a while, though. (You can get them overnighted from New Orleans, I believe.)
7. You can talk to my Mom, or to me when I've recently talked to my Mom.
8. There's great beer here: Summit, Leinenkugel, etc., etc. There's also "fun" swill, like Pig's Eye.
9. My wife makes it.
10. Yes.
 
We do have Southern Living Magazine & Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning, if that's any relief. I guess Kelly already said those.

In fact I have the Creole stuff in my kitchen right now. It actually belongs to my ex-roommates ex-fiance, I tried to return it to him, but he said to keep it. Then he said what you said: Add it to anything, it makes everything taste better! I've only tried it on tater tots so far. I just can't imagine it goes well with spaghetti or yogurt.
 
Yogurt: maybe not. Spaghetti: absolutely!
 
Oppegaard, we will shoot flares at things and light firecrackers in our hands and hold on to them until the last possible minute and build potato cannons and set the potatoes on fire before we shoot them. And then we will become blood siblings.

I will resurrect Bear Bryant and bring him to the promised land of Minnesota with me, and say, 'Yea, thou shalt go forth, Bear Bryant, and coach the Vikings to a Superbowl victory, or else thou shalt at least get them into the playoffs.'

Kelly, I will come and eat at your house. I'll bring the Magic Bullet, so our sweet potatoes will nice and creamy.
 
So our sweet potatoes will be nice and creamy, I mean. I lost a verb.
 
Always welcome.
 
Jambalaya:

1 p. sausage, any kind (I use Johnsonville hot links, often as not)

1/2 p. chicken (I buy the boned breasts) (boned breasts!)

3 bell peppers, red, orange, or yellow

2 cups Uncle Ben's Converted Rice

Liquid Crystal and salt to taste

Brown cut up sausage and chicken in pan

Add peppers and continue browning until you get bored with it

Add the rice and 4 cups of water, plus substantial Liquid Crystal and some salt

When the rice is done, it's done. Eat.
