So, did you wake up this morning with an unbearable urge to know the answer to the question, "If the Minnesota congressional delegation had a hotdish contest, what would Al Franken and Michele Bachmann bring?"
If so, the Heavy Table blog has a recipe roundup for you.
Normally, I find Michele Bachmann cringe-worthy as far as Republicans go, but I'll give her quite a lot of credit for showing up to this harmless Franken-planned event. (Hint to other Minnesota Republicans: When Michele Bachmann shows you up in the bipartisanship department, especially for a publicity stunt, you might want to take a good long hard look at yourself.)
If anybody from outside Minnesota clicks through to the recipes and is horrified by them, you need to know that the inclusion of cream of mushroom soup is kind of a Minnesota inside joke. And I will bet you dollars to donuts that if you actually made the winning recipe, you'd like it, whether you admitted it or not.
I mean, deep down, who doesn't like tater tots?
OK, maybe really deep down.
