"Almost blue, almost doing things we used to do..." I found myself humming this Elvis Costello gem while sampling a range of Wisconsin cheeses (and butter) this weekend.

I had aspirations of eating a salad for lunch, but then I remembered it's the first weekday of OnMilwaukee.com's Dairy Month. This called for something dramatic. I didn't really need that much of an excuse, actually, to check out Melthouse Bistro.
