    Hello from Duluth MN

    Welcome from Maple Grove, MN! I'm fairly new to the site as well, but you won't find a more helpful bunch of people than the ones on this forum. Seems like the family spends at least one or two weekends a year in Duluth (hockey tourneys) and we always have a great time.

    BBQ sauce sweetener

    Seems like every party I go to around here someone has brought a crock pot full of store bought frozen meatballs covered in a mixture of cheap bbq sauce and grape jelly. Personally, it's not my thing, but they always seem to go fast. Maybe it's a Minnesota thing.......
