Biz Buzz: Kieler restaurant to reopen after storm damage

KIELER, Wis. — A popular area business is set to reopen after being damaged during a deluge of extreme weather earlier this year.

Village Bar Supper Club, 3410 Grant County HHH, will reopen Sunday, Dec. 15. The soft opening marks exactly five months since an EF-1 tornado hit Kieler and caused structural damage to the building.

“We’re just excited to get things back to normal,” said co-owner Shelley Thumser, who runs the restaurant with her husband, Kurt. “I’ve missed seeing all our staff and all our regulars. We really are a kind of family here.”

Simple fixes give after-dinner cocktails some holiday flair. Here are 5 recipes from the pros

LONDON — Winter has set in, the Christmas lights have been switched on, and London’s top cocktail bars have added their seasonal favorites to bar menus.

From a festive Old Fashioned to a boozy hot chocolate, these after-dinner drinks might inspire your menu of holiday cocktails, to be supped slowly by the fire or washed down with your Christmas pudding.

Tangy buttermilk and whole-wheat flour bring nuance to pull-apart monkey bread

Monkey bread gets an update that makes the pull-apart loaf even better thanks to buttermilk, a little whole-wheat flour and a lighter hand with the sugar. The result is more tender and nuanced — and less sweet — than the versions many of us grew up with.

In this recipe from our cookbook “Milk Street Bakes,” browned butter infused with vanilla and warm spices coats the nuggets of dough before they’re rolled in sugar and piled into the pan. We like the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg because they call to mind freshly fried doughnuts, but feel free to try other sweet spices, such as cardamom, allspice or cloves.

Quick Fix: Tomato Basil Sauced Salmon and Spaghetti with Zucchini

Here’s a simple and quick way to cook salmon fillet. Just place it under a broiler for 3 to 4 minutes. Tomatoes cook down to a thick sauce in about 5 minutes and add a colorful topping to the broiled salmon.

The spaghetti and zucchini are cooked together for the side dish.
