A TASTE OF KOHLER WISCONSIN

We like to take short day trips here and there.

Last week we went to the village of Kohler, WI .

~~~

The largest employer in Kohler is the Kohler Company,

a worldwide leader in plumbing products; the village itself

was created by the company as a planned community in 1912.

There are lots of covenants for homeowners (a bit like Stepford).

If you live there... you dance-to-the-tune of the Kohler Co.

~~~

Many people in Wisconsin refer to drinking fountains as "bubblers,"

because the first Kohler drinking fountain was known as "The Bubbler.
~~~

We had lunch at Cucina, one of Kohler's many great restaurants.

You can eat inside or outside.

Did you know that Wisconsin has over 10,000 lakes that are

greater than 20 acres in size??

This is a very happy Mr Yummers. He loves Cucina

because of their crusty bread.


And here it is... their bread from a family of artisan breads.
It's baked in VERY HOT stone-lined ovens.
Lots of air-holes inside & very crispy crust on the outside.
I didn't touch a single piece because of my diet but Boyd
had a feast...
...dipped in olive oil and sprinkled with
parmesan reggiano.

I sipped an ice tea while he explored the bread.

His lunch was a sandwich of more bread and lots of goodies inside.

My lunch was a picture!

A small pizza with their homemade mozzarella,

fresh basil,

sliced tomatoes,

and a balsamic reduction.

Now that's YUMMERS!

I didn't eat any of the crust (calories) but ate part of the

mozzarella, tomatoes, etc.

The flavor was incredible.

For dessert we went next door to the Chocolate Shop...

aren't these covered pretzels gorgeous?

I had a small chocolate truffle that was a

melt-in-your-mouth confection.

Then we were off to the Kohler Design Center to see

the latest in bath and kitchen designs.

YES... this is a wall of toilets! A sculpture of sorts.

I fell in love with this sink. The red design was perfect for our house.

One of many inviting bathing tubs.

I really liked this tub at floor level.

A yummy day... a fun day!!

And just a bit of Kohler.

There is so much to see and do there.

~~~

Hope you enjoyed your tour.

Check your fixtures... are they Kohler?

Sooooo many are!

PS Boyd lost weight at Weight Watchers last week,

despite the bread.

His secret: He swims laps EVERY DAY!
