Nebraska’s One Bucket List Item is “Giggling in Front of a Capitol”?
Of all the cool things to do in Nebraska, even this juvenile act didn’t come to our minds!
“Travelocity” published an article on the “most incredible thing you must do in all 50 states”. Immediately, attending a Nebraska football or volleyball game comes to mind . . . or perhaps attending the College World Series . . . or maybe checking out the world’s largest Kool Aid stand or visiting Carhenge.
Nope.
The one bucket list thing to do in Nebraska according to “Travelocity” is “giggle” in front of the capitol building in Lincoln. Why? Because Nebraska’s capitol building is nicknamed the “Penis on the Plains” (IT IS??) and that the “phallic building in Lincoln is made of limestone and was started in 1922. It took builders 10 years to complete”.
No doubt some neat history, but really?? Did a bunch of Iowans write this article? All Nebraskans (should) know that if there’s one penis we want to see in Nebraska, it’s the “Elk Penis” . . . aka Chimney Rock.

Story 1: Heinz Releases Recipes to Make Ketchup, Mayo, and BBQ Sauce Ice Cream
If you’re looking for a new stuck-at-home kitchen challenge . . . well, this is something that exists.
Heinz just released some recipes for making homemade ice cream . . . based on their condiment flavors.
So if you’ve ever wanted to try ketchup, mayo, or barbecue sauce ice cream, now you can make it yourself.
The recipes are all pretty simple . . . mostly just adding heavy cream, condensed milk, whole milk, and a few large squeezes of the condiment to a bowl, mixing them up, then freezing them.
But they also have suggestions for TOPPINGS, like raspberry sauce and meringue crumbles on your ketchup ice cream, or bacon bits, pecans, and maple syrup on your barbecue sauce ice cream.
Here are the recipes for ketchup, mayo, and barbecue sauce. They’re from Heinz in the U.K., which is why some of the condiments have different names. And here’s a picture.
