My love of Wikipedia

Ah, Wikipedia. Source of so much information. I've wasted countless hours looking up completely random things, so I've decided to keep record of what I look up and why on a semi-daily basis.

The MLB Civil Rights Game, which took me to Cleveland Indians mascot Chief Wahoo. I then learned more about Chief Illiniwek and Chief Bender. Learning about Chief Wahoo made me curious about other Major League Baseball mascots.

Our recent relocation to 26th & Blaisdell in Minneapolis puts us near Eat Street and the landmark restaurant Black Forest Inn. Ryan and I have discussed eating there, and as I like to be informed about my food I searched for German cuisine, and learned about bratwurst, Leipziger Allerlei, Hasenpfeffer, sauerbraten, spätzle and the döner kebab, which reminded me of the Donair, a Halifax treat.

Of course, I had to read the entry on German beer, and the discussion of beer gardens makes me long for hot summer nights with friends and pitchers of beer.

A dicussion with a coworker about the forbidden deliciousness that is the Rice Krispie treat led me to read to her its history.
