In today’s LEG there is an article about the County Commissioners want to make the most recent “temporary” sales tax increase permanent (as if that surprised anyone). Click here.

On January 11th there was an article how the County Sales Tax collections were up considerably. Click here.

How about just spending less?

On a recent post regarding strange Ohio food someone commented that in Cincy they sell Goetta. It’s a “sausage” with a little meat and quite a bit of steel cut oatmeal. There are several possible origins of the product.

On a recent trip to Kroger I noticed that they had Goetta and that it was on closeout and half price so I had to try it. Goetta sounds like Scottish Haggis and I do like that. I brought it home and we fried some up the next morning. To our surprise, we liked it – a lot. Not really like Haggis, but it had a nice flavor. The outside was nice and crispy and the interior of the patty had a texture kind of like a hash brown patty that you might get at a fast food place. It’s really hard to compare it to anything else except perhaps Haggis.

We went back and bought the remaining couple of rolls and froze them. If you run across some you might want to give it a try.
