EDITORIALNOTE
ARE YOU THE NEXT
I
am a huge Food Network fan. There are very few shows on the network that I will forego watching in favor of other things. Most recently, my girlfriend and I have been indulging in their Holiday Baking Championship series. In this show, local bakers from around the country compete for a monetary prize through a variety of challenges. The end result is watching some dazzling deserts unfold on our screen. When it comes to Food Network personalities, there is not one that compares to the great Guy Fieri. The mayor of Flavortown has become somewhat of an icon beyond his wildly successful culinary career. Never the less, his Food Network shows continue to be hits in our household. Oftentimes, we can be found cozying up on the couch for an episode of Guy's Grocery Games or Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Throughout the pandemic, everyone in a creative field has had to adapt in one way or another. We have had to do it in the way we tell stories and Fieri has had to do it in the way his shows are presented. Most notably, the two shows mentioned above have been confined to his home in Santa Rosa, California. Rather than travel around the United States looking for America's greatest diners, drive-ins and dives, Fieri has his celebrity chef friends send him ingredients to make their signature dishes. From there, Fieri cooks up dish after dish from his lavish outdoor kitchen in place of the traditional show format. The result becomes more of your traditional instructional cooking show, but with the added Fieri flare. Guy's Grocery Games follows a similar model. Fieri will send ingredients and games to chef's homes where they will compete in his outlandish cooking competition.
CULINARY STAR? All of this entertainment is taking place inside of people's homes. That got me thinking. With the holidays fast approaching, what can we do to entertain you? How can we create an issue that will not only provide value to you over the holidays but your friends and family as well? For me, the best way to do this was to take a page from Guy Fieri's book of cooking genius. Let's have local Fargo-Moorhead chefs send us recipes and let's cook these dishes ourselves to showcase that anyone can cook and eat well over the holidays at home. Hopefully, this issue will be an interactive experience for you and your family. We hope you enjoy the dishes within this issue. Know that great culinary minds put these recipes together knowing that even a simpleton like me could cook them.
While we may not provide the same level of entertainment as Guy Fieri, it's our sincere hope that you stay safe and have fun while cooking this holiday season. Season's Eatings!

They have passed down the gift of hard work and perseverance from generation to generation, carrying these North Dakota towns into the future. The population may label them as "small town" North Dakota, but the life within these areas is anything but minuscule. North Dakota State seems to find top-tier student-athletes in these areas. With the value of hard work instilled in them, they consistently thrive in Fargo. They are the pride of the prairie.

Mike Wald at Maxwells
There is nothing quite like coming in from the cold Fargo temperatures to a nice, warm bowl of soup. Knowing this, Chef Mike Wald at Maxwells in West Fargo put together a delightfully simple soup option for this holiday season. This chipotle sweet potato bisque is a creamy, earthy, balanced and slightly spicy soup that will surely warm your soul. Even better, the soup can be made in large quantities and frozen for future use. To get several meals out of such a simple recipe is extremely convenient! Especially after a long day of work where cooking may seem less than desirable. Chef Wald delivers all of that in this flavorful bisque.
Ingredients:
3 roasted skinned sweet potatoes
2 caramelized yellow onions
3 ribs of celery, chopped and sauteed
1 cup sherry wine
2 quarts vegetable stock
1/2 quart heavy cream
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 chipotle peppers w/ adobo
A pinch of black pepper
18 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
In a Soup Pot: • Chop yellow onions and caramelize in pot with butter. Once caramelized, add chopped celery and sautee for one minute. • Add sherry wine and bring to a boil. • Add all remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 30 minutes. • Transfer to a food blender, blend until smooth and transfer back to the soup pot to maintain an even temperature. • Garnish with croutons and scallions.

Joe Brunner at Mezzaluna
Who doesn't love a good dumpling? While the Midwest is notorious for its Norwegian and German delicacies (looking at you lefse, kuchen and lutefisk), there are several other European flavors that make for great holiday dishes. The pierogi is a perfect primer for a large holiday meal, to the point that these Polish dumplings are almost impossible to stop eating. Mezzaluna's Joe Brunner takes the basic pierogi and heightens it by infusing gruyere cheese with the traditional potato filling. The creamy cheese elevates the potato and makes for a bite that you cannot miss. While this recipe is relatively simple, it packs a real Polish flavor punch. If you're looking for a holiday appetizer, look no further.
Ingredients:
2 pounds allpurpose flour
1 whole egg
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 ¾ cup warm water
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups mashed potato
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
22 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
Instructions: • Add all ingredients to stand mixer, mix on low until combined. • Rest dough for 15 minutes. • To make the pierogi filling, mix together already made and cooled mashed potato, gruyere, salt and pepper. • When dough is rested, spray a countertop with pan spray so the dough stays on the table (the opposite of flour). Roll the dough with a rolling pin until 1/16 of an inch thick. • Take a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or a cup) and cut as many pieces out of the dough as you can. • Take 1 tablespoon of the filling and place in the center of each ring of dough. Use your finger and wipe around the edge of the circle with some water. • Close up the pierogi in a half-moon shape and seal by squeezing with your fingers. • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pierogis and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until pierogi float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Cracked Pepper and Chianti Pot Roast
with Gremolata

Eric Watson
at Urban 42/Mosaic Catering by Delta Fargo
A simple pot roast is something so easy and versatile for even the most basic culinary mind. There is the option of throwing it in the oven and letting it do its thing. In the Midwest, a chuck roast usually finds its way to the crockpot or slow cooker. Most find themselves placing it in their favorite crockpot in the morning, only to return after work or school to see it in all of its beefy glory. While we will never deny those options, chef Eric Watson of Urban 42 and Mosaic Catering By Delta Fargo has elevated the pot roast. Using a red wine as a base, the end result is a delightfully sweet reduction that provides a needed acidic touch to the often fatty chuck roast. It's true that this version of a pot roast is quite elevated, but the recipe remains incredibly true to form and just as simple.
For Pot Roast:
26 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
4-pound beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons course ground black pepper, fresh
2 medium-sized yellow onions, large dice
3 carrots, peeled rough chopped, large pieces
3 celery ribs, large dice
8 peeled garlic cloves, whole
½ bottle Chianti wine, or other red of choice
Âź cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth or beef stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 fresh thyme sprigs
3 bay leaves
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
For Gremolata: 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/8 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
2 lemons, zest only, finely chopped
1 peeled garlic clove, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
To taste, salt and pepper
27
For Pot Roast: • Season beef chuck generously with salt and pepper. • In a heavy bottom pan, sear beef until all sides are well caramelized, making sure not to burn the bottom of the pan. • Remove beef from pan and quickly add ground pepper, onions, carrot, celery and garlic cloves. • Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly caramelized. • Add red wine and allow to reduce slightly. • Quickly whisk flour into the wine mixture. • Add beef stock, tomato paste, aromatics and vinegar. • Place beef in broth and bring to a simmer. • Place a lid on top and place pan in a 325-degree oven for approximately 3-4 hours or until fork-tender. • Serve with Gremolata and roasted potatoes.
For Gremolata: • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and serve.

Shortbread
Cookies

Casey Steele
at Square One Rental Kitchen & Events
What is the holiday season without a little sweetness? The traditional holiday cookie platter may include sugar cookies, peanut blossoms and more, but have you ever added shortbread to your cookie lineup? The cookie offers a fairly basic dough, but the depth of flavor within it is second to none. Square One's Casey Steele is an expert when it comes to sweet treats and this shortbread cookie recipe is simple and fun. Many holiday traditions revolve around baking and decorating cookies. Not only is this a very easy recipe for beginning bakers, but it is also something kids can enjoy making. Shortbread cookies are a great way to get young kids excited about cooking and baking. Those skills will surely come in handy down the line. Also, who doesn't love decorating a cookie? 31
Ingredients: 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into Âź-inch cubes
1/2 cup sugar
2-1/3 cups allpurpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sprinkles, chocolate, decorations, etc.
Instructions: • Preheat oven to 350F • Place sugar, salt and cubed butter in bowl. With mixer on medium speed, stir just until mixture is creamed. You do not want to whip it as that would heat up the butter. Recipe Notes: Keep your butter cold, using a stand mixer or hand mixer works best and don’t over mix! • Reduce speed to medium-low. Slowly sprinkle flour into the mixer bowl and mix until it begins to pull together and barely starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. • Lightly flour work surface. Place dough on the work surface and knead briefly until it forms a ball. You can cut the dough in half and work in smaller batches to make it easier. Roll dough out to roughly ¼-inch thickness. Cut to desired shape and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. • These cookies do not spread much so you can place them about 1 to 2 inches apart. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown on the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely before decorating. I often dip them halfway in melted chocolate and add sprinkles for color.

Not Your
Father's
Rock Band
34 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
Local trio Dad Band are not your typical, everyday fathers.
hen you look at them from a 1,000foot glance, local trio Dad Band might be defined by their name. One instantly sees "Dad Band" and thinks of old-time rockers playing their favorite Jimmy Buffet tunes at a backyard barbecue. Or maybe you see an image of a Hawaiian-shirt-clad man riffing along with "Brown Sugar". Whatever it is you see, it's likely dated and antiquated.
Eric Bailly (guitar/vocals)
You will quickly come to realize that those preconceived notions are not entirely accurate. In Dad Band, there is no "Cheeseburger In Paradise" nor is there the simplistic guitar styling of Keith Richards. What Eric Bailly, Chris Heaton and Tim Ortez have managed to do is create something all their own. A sound that counterbalances their tongue-in-cheek name. Yes, the Fargo trio are dads, but they're not playing your father's music. Rather than the cool, smooth tones of timeless yacht rock classics, Dad Band goes for the jugular with their wall of sound approach. What comes out on the other side is a welcome blend of indie and good old-fashioned rock and roll. That comes through in droves on Dad Band's first full album Sounding Fathers, which will be released later this winter. It features 12 tracks that are sure to fulfill all your sonic sensibilities. The group's first single "Firror" was released in mid-October and showcases the trio's modern indie guitar rock tone. The lyrics are what take the tune to the stratosphere, showcasing the progressive mindset of the three 40-somethings. The song, a triple entendre towards President Donald Trump, offers forth the type of antiestablishment verbiage one may find on a Rage Against The Machine track. It's through that blend of sound and lyrics that Dad Band has created a type of music that is wholly their own. After spending most of their lives in and out of different bands, the group is happy to have these pieces of music under the Dad Band catalog. Photos By Regina Casey
We sat down with guitarist Eric Bailly, drummer Chris Heaton and bassist Tim Ortez to discuss their first album, being dads, musicianship and more. 35
Eric Bailly
do you think Tim would be interested in playing some bass?" Even though we all knew each other, and we've all played in various bands together, this was the first time the three of us actually have played in a band together. It was more about just wanting to play, wanting to create something. Create some new music and see what we had as a trio to see what we could do.
Guitarist and vocalist
What is your musical background? What led you guys together to form this group? In terms of have you guys been in bands previously together? Or have you mutually met? Eric Bailly: Yeah, it's interesting. This is kind of cool, actually. So Chris, and I have known each other since we were in third grade. So when we were in high school, we started a band with some friends when we were 16 or 17 and played for a few years in high school. And then we also played in college, too, in a couple of different bands. That's when Tim kind of got interwoven into all that too because he was also playing in some of the college bands that we were in. That's kind of how we got introduced to each other musically. Chris and I were in a band at South High,
36 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
and we were in a jazz band. We were kind of music geeks, you know, all the way through high school, and even before then too. Chris Heaton: Tim and I knew each other in high school, and Tim and I played in a band together in college. It was just kind of weird because we both had played with Eric, I had played with Tim, but all of us had never played together. After college, we kind of dispersed Tim went to Minneapolis, and Eric went to Denver, and I was in New York for a long time. Eric and I actually moved back to Fargo at almost the exact same time, like seven years ago, seven and a half years ago. Eric saw me one day and approached me and was like, "Hey, you know, we should get together and play again,
Tim Ortez: I've been playing music since seventh grade, or playing guitar since seventh grade, I should say. In all of the bands I'd been in before I was the guitar player. When they approached me about that project, I thought it was a really interesting idea. To do our own music, but to switch an instrument. I was pretty excited to do it. How have you guys gone about defining the style of music that you play? All three of you have been in bands and have been playing music for a number of years. I'm sure you've dabbled in a number of different genres. How have you formulated the type of sound that you guys want to cultivate? TO: I think it comes from the fact that the stuff we play, the sound we make, is a lot of what we just listen to anyway. I think our influences are showing through our music. So it's not like we're a bunch of guys from the upper Midwest trying to be a funk band, or we're not trying to be something we're not. We're
Tim Ortez
just being what we are, and it's coming through in the music. CH: I think it started out as we were gonna play some rock and roll. Eric, from bands that he had been in before, had a number of songs that he had written. That's where we started and we kind of wanted to make them our own. I think the sound just kind of organically developed. It turned out like three-piece guitar rock, distorted heavy rock and roll. It came very organically. EB: I'm really influenced by Yo La Tengo and Slowdive, who's gonna do really balls to the wall sound, but I'm also really into low and that kind of that slowcore stuff too. Mojave 3 from back in the early 2000s and Mazzy Star. I think we kind of have that psychedelia thing going on, too. Like Tim said, it's not like we sat down and said, 'Well, this is the genre we're gonna play,' we just play what we like. What's really cool about this band is that Chris is really adept with music theory and Tim is as well. They're able to kind of expand on songs. Like Chris was saying, some of my songs I've played in previous bands, but I've always been an open canvas kind of person. I'll come up with the basic foundational idea, but then I've always relied on my bandmates to pick it apart. It's been so much fun to not only play with musicians who know what they're doing but good friends too.
bassist and vocalist
CH: The other thing that comes into play is the stuff that we've written together has come very naturally. There are nights when we sit down and we start writing and we work on something that comes together really fast. It's really a pleasure to work with these guys. No idea is rejected. EB: We record all of our rehearsals too because we forget everything we play. We're not 20 anymore. If there are two or three week stretches between practices, it's like 'oh my god'. We got to get the tunes off the Dropbox because we can't remember what we did. You guys kind of touched on it a little bit about the kind of musical acts that have influenced the way that you play. For each of you specifically, what are some
of those acts that really have cultivated the way that you play your specific instrument and how it kind of relates to the band itself? EB: I would say for me, Bob Mould for sure and Neil Young. Those are the two artists that probably most influenced when I started playing guitar at age 16. To some extent, Glenn Mercer from The Feelies and just really basic stuff Dean Wareham from Luna and Galaxie 500. Dean really has impacted the way that I solo with the one-string solo. If I could be as good of a guitarist as the guitarist from Yo La Tengo, I would be in seventh heaven. I know I never will be because he's absolutely incredible.
When we're in the groove, we're really in the groove. We can lock in and it'll be an otherworldly experience." - Tim Ortez
CH: I didn't start drumming until I was in junior high, seventh grade. I played

Chris Heaton
specifically from a bass line point of view, Paul wrote some really melodic and interesting lines. I find myself trying to be interesting on the bass and not just follow the chord progression, but to do things that are melodically interesting. That is one of the things that I think we have going in our favor because we have a lot of vocal harmonies in our music. That comes back to groups like The Beach Boys and The Beatles. Our influences are showing through because of the things that we listen to.
Drummer and vocalist
There's a lot of people our age that are the exact opposite of us, you're not wrong about that, but there are a lot of people out there like us. I think there are those people out there and maybe we can reach some of them maybe we can speak to them a little bit or maybe we can help them to find their own voice." - Chris Heaton
the piano for much of my childhood. When I first started picking up drums, I was really deeply affected by jazz music. My dad had some old Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich LPs that I used to listen to constantly. I was really jazz focused all the way through high school. Even though I did play rock and roll, my first love was jazz. I was really influenced by a lot of jazz drummers like Philly Joe Jones and The Miles Davis quintet in the 50s. Those were records I wore out. I went to college and actually studied jazz and so I just got deeper and deeper into that world. All the while though, I would always be playing in a band with guys like Eric and Tim or I would play in a cover band on weekends at the bars. I was always playing rock and roll too. From that perspective, I was really influenced by classic rock drummers like
40 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
Keith Moon and John Bonham, of course. I feel like I'm probably kind of a heavy hitter when it comes to rock and roll. I like to think that I've had a pretty well rounded musical education because there's really not a lot of genres that I don't listen to or don't enjoy. TO: My first influence when I started playing guitar was The Beatles, which is probably everybody's first influence. I really tried to learn the songs and what they were doing. As I got older, I fell in love with U2 and R.E.M. That transitioned into groups like XTC in college and Living Colour, more cutting edge from that standpoint. As we write, and as I hear things, I try to hear from those perspectives. I think one of the cool things about the Beatles, and the people have their own opinions about the Beatles,
EB: I would agree with Tim, that's one thing that the three of us do that's a bit different. It cuts through all the fuzz and we get these melodic lines that cut through all of that. It's not noise, it's saturation, and sonic melodic lines that are going on, but to have those clear vocals poke through is really cool. As a three-piece band, I think there's a lot of challenges in that. Your prototypical band would probably have four or five guys where you have a rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass and drums. You have to put together your whole sound with three guys. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having that arrangement? TO: I think a big advantage is that it can really expose your flaws. There's no place to hide when it's just the three of us. That'd be a big advantage. On the flip side of that, when we're in the groove, we're really in the groove. We can lock in and
it'll be an otherworldly experience. From that standpoint, that is really fun to have happen. CH: Some of the best bands of all time are three pieces. If you look at Hendrix or you look at The Police. These are just three-piece bands. When you have three pieces, it gives you a lot of space. It gives you a lot of room to have your own space to create. You're not worried about what the other guitar player is doing, you're not worried about what the keyboard is doing and how that's all gonna fit together. We can concern ourselves with how all three of our parts fit together. It becomes more open, rawer and more natural. There's nowhere to hide, but that's when you get back to work and make sure you figure out what you need to do to make things sound good. I love it. I just think it's like a power trio. EB: That's why we record all of our rehearsals too because it's like what Dave Grohl said, 'Sometimes you just got to really suck'. There are times where we listen back and we're like, 'oh my god, that just sounded like shit'. You really can get incredible sounds as Chris said. I'll mention that being in a three-piece really has an upside. We practice in a small space, can you imagine fitting five guys in a small space? With a pandemic, of course,
we mask up and try to distance as much as we can. The other thing is schedules. Logistically, with three guys that have careers and are dads, we're managing a lot of stuff. Having a three-piece, it makes scheduling so much easier than to have to negotiate four or five different people at any given time. This whole pandemic era has really hit the music industry regardless of if it's Fargo, Moorhead or any community. Local bands have to find creative ways to stand out in a time where they can't be playing a show here or there may be limitations on where they can record. How have you guys been able to navigate this crazy time that we're in? CH: We were just starting to kind of get going gig-wise at the beginning of this year. It was in January, we played a show at Drumconrath. We were really starting to kind of hit our stride and people were starting to kind of know who we were a little bit. I'm not gonna say a lot because we were really just kind of getting out there. We had a great show and people really loved it, we thought. It was fantastic, we were going to start playing more and more gigs, and it was gonna be great. Of course, everything went to hell. To our credit, the three of us, we looked
at it like we had all this material, let's buckle it all down. Let's get it tight and let's record it. Let's take this time where we can't be out gigging and let's prep it and put out an album. That really just flipped our focus fully on recording our first album. That's what we've been doing this year. I listened to the first single "Firror" and I think when people look at you guys or at your Facebook page, you see just the name "Dad Band". Then you listen to the first single and the lyrics are not what you would expect from a group called "Dad Band". Those social themes that you guys are touching on are not necessarily ones that are popular especially in North Dakota. How did you guys kind of get to that songwriting place with themes focusing on these social issues? How have you found lyrical themes in what's going on socially in our country knowing that a lot (not all) in your age demographic think the exact opposite of you? EB: "Firror" is a triple entendre. It's like, fear, the way it's spelled, but it looks like mirror. Donald Trump has really represented looking into a mirror of the underbelly of our society that exists. It's not a reflection of subterfuge, but this underbelly, this unspoken bullshit that's going on underneath
43
the surface that is contrary to the greater good. There's that mirror looking back at you. Every time you want to point the finger, look at yourself, what are the thoughts that are going on in your head? Of course, the other meaning of it is fear. The Donald Trump administration has represented fearmongering and rhetoric that stoked all these instances of unrest. How can this be happening in the United States of America? This is not the United States of America that we all grew up in, and that we know. I have to say that the song itself was a bit of an albatross for us for a while. We'd always save it to the end of practice and we tried to nail this song, and would always sound like we weren't really gelling. The lyrics resonate with us and they're taken from different contexts. It's definitely something that's socially progressive, but just the song itself, I don't think really came together until fairly recently. TO: In fact, that was one that was not scheduled to be out of the album initially. As we were working on songs, we would use that one as a warm-up or we would do it at the end of the night. We discovered that there was something there. So we built upon that and it ended up being the first song we put out.

CH: It's timely material. It needs to be heard now. I don't think it really came together until probably sometime over the summer as far as what you hear now. I'm really excited about how that turned out and I think is exactly what we wanted it to be. EB: There's another song on the album called "Post 9-11" that was written right after the attacks in New York, when the Twin Towers came crashing down. The lyrics are very evocative of the towers coming down. That video footage that we all saw and that was written at a time of the Bush administration, where it really felt like armageddon in this country, it was not good. When those lyrics come to me, I'm really struggling with, with how to how to express myself. I'm not an angry, bitter person. I don't lash out at people and I'm actually quite reserved and kind. This is kind of my way of releasing the pressure. CH: If I could answer your question, we're in our 40s. We're all 48 now with families and we've always been very progressive and socially conscious guys. It's probably very clear where we stand at this point. There's a lot of people our age that are the exact opposite of us, you're not wrong about that, but there are a lot of people out there like us. I think there are those people out there and
maybe we can reach some of them maybe we can speak to them a little bit or maybe we can help them to find their own voice. You reference that you all have families. What do your kids think when you're heading off to band practice or you just got back from band practice? What are their reactions to you guys being their father but also a member of a band where you're playing gigs, working on an album and all this? CH: We always joke about the kids because Tim's son is 15. So he doesn't think his dad is cool anymore. My daughter just turned nine so I've got a few years. She still thinks I'm cool and she wants to come to every rehearsal and go to every gig. EB: I've got a 22-year-old and a 16-year-old and the 22-year-old lives in Denver now, but she and her boyfriend really like it. She's always been into the same kind of music as me. I have my younger daughter and she's in the Moorhead theater program. In some ways, I feel embarrassed to play this stuff to my daughter, Amelia, because she's so good at what she does. My wife has gotten used to it. I've been in this since we were married in
My wife has got used to it. I've been in this since we were married in 1994, so it's always been there. She recognizes it as an important outlet for me. I don't golf. I don't play racquetball. I play music." - Eric Bailly 1994, so it's always been there. She recognizes it as an important outlet for me. I don't golf. I don't play racquetball. I play music. CH: My wife knows that too. This is something that I love to do and it is an outlet. It's a way to blow off steam A lot of times it makes me a happier person and I think that makes everybody that's around me a happier person. TO: I met my wife when I was in college, and I was already doing music forever. So she knew that this is part of the package deal. I'm sure top of mind next steps are making sure you release the album and kind of push that out to the masses and make sure everybody's listening to it. Otherwise, for you guys, beyond finishing and releasing this album, what are some goals that you have
set for yourselves as a band? EB: I would love to play The Aquarium. I think we'd fit in really well there. I would be really happy if we can just keep playing and doing what we're doing having some fun. It would be awesome to play up in Winnipeg or down in the Twin Cities. We're just having a lot of fun right now though.
going into 2021, you may see a Dad Band second album next year. We're just going to keep doing what we do and roll with whatever happens, I think. TO: To quote one of our favorite bands. One of our goals is to tour the world and beyond.
CH: I don't know that we've ever sat down set and specific goals. The whole time it's just been organic to the extent that we just want to make some music. Then we realized we had enough material for an album and we decided to do that. Right now, we've got enough material to do another one. Say gigs don't come back and we can't get out there

MEET THE
Designed By Hannah W
e met Hannah Stelter this year and are 100 percent obsessed with her style and vibe of art. And for the holiday season, pairing her work with people on your gift list will be a major (and one-of-a-kind) win.
Tell us about yourself: My name is Hannah and I am a local artist from Moorhead, MN, although I am originally from Mankato, MN. When I am not creating art, I am a full-time student at MSUM finishing a degree in Graphic Design. Whenever I find free-time from school, I have a severe love for traveling. Pre-COVID, I would take any chance I could to flee the country and explore for a bit. I’ve been to 35 countries and counting and am just itching for travel restrictions to be lifted! In addition to traveling, I also advocate for health and wellness and find peace in yoga, and have been practicing for a few years now. In the future, I hope to become a certified instructor to share my love for art with others. Describe what you create under Designed by Hannah L.L.C.?
By Ashley Morken, Unglued
50 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
Under my business, I create an array of watercolor designs. I center my art on uplifting and empowering people through my linework and the messages I convey. I originally started the business with stickers
in mind, but have since expanded to selling prints and original paintings! How did you start your creative business? I started my business back in March after having several of my videos go viral on Tik Tok. I had a lot of people sending me messages asking where to buy my work, so I did a little research and got my business up and running! Your personal favorite product you've created so far? My favorite collection is my “Sirens” series. It's a group of what I like to call “Scribble Ladies” and it showcases the beauty in all the different body forms that humans behold. My favorite sticker, on the other hand, is my “What the Fucculent” succulent design. Favorite thing to draw currently? Currently, my favorite thing to draw is new pieces for my Sirens collection, but I have
also been really into drawing plants, so it's been kind of a mix. Tell us more about the weekly live illustrations you do?
touch to every order I send out. Sending out my art means I am brightening someone's day, and I absolutely love that. What is the most challenging thing?
Every Tuesday night at 10 p.m., I go LIVE on TikTok and take drawing requests from my viewers! I play some chill music and we just vibe. I usually spend about two hours on LIVE and create three to six pieces. I love these because they give my fans an opportunity to watch me creating in realtime, have their ideas come to life and it pushes me to try drawing things I may have never considered otherwise! I also always give my viewers a discount to my shop as a way to say thank you for supporting me in my LIVES!
The most challenging thing is running social media for my business. I rely solely on social media for my advertising, and it requires a lot of time editing and creating content to share with my viewers.
Most important art tool that you use?
If I could give 6th grade me some advice, it would be to stop striving to be like everyone else, embrace your differences, and YES you CAN make a living off of art so DEFINITELY go to school for art even when everyone tells you not to. I know you don’t think you are good enough to be a real artist, but you will get there!
My most important tool currently is my pen. I use a glass dip pen, mostly for aesthetic purposes because it's BEAUTIFUL and makes creating my art so much more fun, but also because I love the way that it draws. What is your favorite thing about having your own business? I love setting my own hours, being my own boss and being able to add a personal
What is a word that best describes you? Loquacious. Anyone who knows me, knows I love to talk and meet new people. What advice would you have given yourself 10 years ago?
You can also find some of my designs for sale at Unglued and Simply Swag in Fargo! How can our community support you especially in this time? I fully believe that sharing an artist's work, whether social media or in person, is the best way to support second to purchasing from local makers. I also have a Patreon monthly surprise sticker club which is an incredible way to continually support artists: patreon.com/designedbyhannah How can we stay connected? Instagram: @designed.by.hannah Youtube: Hannah Stelter TikTok: @hannahstelter2 Patreon Sticker Club: patreon.com/ designedbyhannah
Where can people find your work? A majority of my work is available in my shop itsdesignedbyhannah.com.

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL

A 20-YEAROLD'S MUSINGS
On Modern-Day Planet Earth Mugire Amahoro (Shalom Alekhem in KinyaRwanda) I hope this article finds you enjoying the sight of the immaculate northern prairies. As we say our warm farewells to this unprecedented year 2020, I wanted to have a reflective chat with someone radiant, adventurous and community-oriented. This is when I thought of the legendary, joyous and stellar lady LesleyAnne Buegel. This is a very special opportunity for me to share my platform with Lady LesleyAnne because this fall marks my 10th year in the Fargo-Moorhead area and this wouldn't have been possible without her esteemed father, Sir Buegel, who recruited me to attend college here. He has been a tremendous mentor since the day I landed in the area and his family has been welcoming many international students like myself for decades, allowing us to confidently make this area our home away from home. Now back to Lady LesleyAnne, I wanted to finish this historical year 2020 in a ceremonial way with someone who has traveled the globe but who was born and raised here. LesleyAnne is a proud Moorhead Spud and under the PSEO program, she went to school at Concordia College. After high school, she boldly chose 52 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
to attend the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and then came back to make a lasting impact in the community. Since the Christkindlmarkt 2019, she has been a great addition to our Folkways team and the Red River Valley is fortunate to have her back in our midst because the entire world is her comfort zone. She is fearless and welcomes any new adventures that will make her a better human being and our community friendlier to everyone. To check out her art visit @lesleydidthat on Instagram To see her travel videos check out her YouTube channel, LesleyAnne Buegel Happy Holidays with your beloved ones & Umwaka Mushya Muhire (Happy New Year in kinyaRwanda) Until our humble paths cross again: Keep smiling at life and taking precious care of the beautiful human you see daily in the mirror! - Cyusa
Where do you call home? This is often a difficult question for me. The short answer is my parents' lovely and eclectic house in Moorhead, where I was raised and where I currently live. The long answer is inspired by a TED talk I once listened to, that asks the far more philosophical question, “Where are you a local?” I am a local in Moorhead, Minnesota, where I learned to bike and went to prom and first fell in love. I am a local in Fargo, North Dakota, where I got my wisdom teeth taken out and practiced gymnastics every day and waitressed at IHOP every weekend in high school. I am a local in Dunedin, New Zealand, where I learned how to live on my own and got my first tattoos and graduated university. Although I live in Moorhead now, I don’t think of myself as any less of a local in the other two cities (admittedly, Fargo is only across the bridge, but you know what I’m getting at), and I would call all of them home. Where did your passion for traveling come from? My parents have and always will be my biggest inspiration. They met at a carnival celebrating Tết, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, and never once stopped their passion for new experiences and new cultures once they had children. Instead of holding off on travel because they had kids, they worked tirelessly to bring us to new and exciting places, balancing a steady life at home with trips back to Vietnam to visit family with trips all around the states and the world. I always had the coolest souvenirs to pass around at showand-tell, but I wasn’t aware of how rare that actually was. It just felt like a normal part of life to me. It took a while to realize how lucky I was to have a passport overflowing with stamps before most of my peers had ever left the country. I have never since taken it for granted, and am so thankful that my parents had the opportunities and capacity to take us with them. When I was making my college decision, I knew that my love of travel had finally outgrown its existence as a byproduct of my parents’ interests and plans, and the time had come for me to pick up the baton and climb those mountains by myself.
How was is it transitioning from high school in America to college in New Zealand? Like many who leave the nest for the first time, my first weeks after moving out were lonely and filled with doubts. The first night I was there I remember feeling surprised too. I think a part of me didn’t actually believe I would make it that far ("that far" being 8,501 miles from Moorhead). Maybe I was surprised at the fact that being in a brand-new country could feel deeply happy and sad, when in my travels before I had only ever felt happiness, awe or wonder. Because I am a very emotional person, I took the absence of my family, friends and first love very hard. I had to reach inward and come to terms with letting go of those ties so I could make room for new experiences. I started reaching out immediately to make new friends, and they helped me more than anything else to start to make Dunedin become a second (or third?) home. But the substantial distance from home was more than heartache and an inconvenient time difference, it was a blessing too. Knowing that you can’t just drive a few hours to have your dad check your engine light makes you a lot more self-sufficient, and I think the ability to establish yourself in a new place from a clean slate adds a lot of meaning and depth to your life. Why should people care about places outside the Midwest? There is so much more than the media’s 10-second highlight reel of a country or city. When I told some people here where I was going for college, they could only conjure images from Lord of the Rings. Some thought New Zealand was a colony of Australia. In Dunedin, many people told me they couldn’t wait to go to America because they wanted to go to a Walmart, Hollywood, a Las Vegas casino or to Disneyland. They often couldn’t conjure any other images of the country. This saddened me a lot. These extremely thin slices of America and New Zealand are representative of the countries only in globalized industries, from blockbuster movies, news headlines and megacorporations, from a made-up and skewed concept of a country that is so much more than a scenic movie set, or a world-class selection of sugar cereal.
I worry that people have traded the authenticity and education of experiencing a new world for the easily and quickly consumed Instagram version, even worse, that they are unaware of it happening. There is so much more beyond what a day, a week or even a month in a new place could show you. If you can get out there, get out there. If you can’t, educate yourself as a global citizen, read books about it, watch new sports, follow bloggers and try to digest local and indigenous films in addition to mainstream media platforms. The real lives of people and places are not done justice by the globalized version, the photoshopped pictures or headlines shouting glamorous or grotesque or whatever they say now to get your attention. The genuine experience of a new culture, experienced at your own pace, will help you discover the world we all live in, and the world inside of yourself you may not know yet. How has COVID affected your career plans? Like millions of people around the world, I was caught off guard by the pandemic that hit at the beginning of the year and had no idea the extent to which it would last and impact my life. I am very lucky to have my personal support network of family and friends, and my professional support network at Folkways and in the FM community that made starting full-time mid-pandemic so enjoyable and educational. With their unwavering support and opportunities for growth, I have found that wonderful and amazing friendships and careers can be forged even in the darkest of years. What is your vision 2030? Where will you be and why? In 2030, I’ll be on an expedition in Antarctica with my marine biologist friends studying the behavior of penguins, an English teacher in Japan fulfilling my childhood dream of living in a real-life Studio Ghibli movie, a traveling street artist using the Canadian railroad to go from coast to coast, selling pie in a mug from a cute little food truck I run with my best friend, a museum curator at MoMA hoping to get one of her own pieces in an exhibition one day, a simple olive farmer in Greece with crow’s feet permanently etched in my face, skydiving with my fearless sister. Your guess is as good as mine. 53
HEALTH & WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT
'Tis The Season! is the season for so many things! From Christmas cookies and eggnog to The Elf and Secret Santa, to carols of faith and hope as we remember Jesus' birth, and to the brightness of a menorah in the dark of winter, we scramble to figure out a safe way to celebrate traditions and create new ones. Stress and overwhelm seem expected traditions as well. BY Dr. Sue Mathison Catalyst Medical Center and Clinical Spa Founder PHOTO BY Hillary Ehlen 54 | DECEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM
Maybe this is the year to distill even further the essence of the season. For me, the truths that define these days are giving, love and light. These truths can also be a verb: Giving love and light. Gift-giving can be a way to bring these truths to life if done within our means. And the accompanying card might be the most important facet of the gift if you are able to share a bit about why you chose the gift for that special person and their significance in your life. These are my favorite gifts: Books: Browse through Zandbroz downtown and marvel at the gorgeous window displays and vast array of gifts and books. Some of my favorite authors to give are Danielle LaPorte (White Hot Truth, Desire Map,) Bob Goff (Love Does, Everybody Always, Dream Big,) Bob Burg (The Go-Giver) and Ann

Voskamp (One Thousand Gifts, The Broken Way, Be The Gift). Barnes and Noble is also a haven for book lovers, and even though it's not a local company, we can support our friends who work there. I like to give books that I've already read. Sometimes it's a new copy, sometimes a re-gift. The ultimate gift would be to meet for tea sometime down the road and use the book as a springboard for conversation. Cookbooks: Recipe collections are often accompanied by great stories, with each dish serving up a special memory. When we cook together, food becomes part of our own story. As I write, I'm looking at a stack of cookbooks destined as Christmas gifts for my outdoorsmen brothers: The Meat Eater and Buck, Duck, Moose. I gifted a copy of Josh Hanson's Spanky's Stone Hearth Cookbook to my parents this summer. We had many special meals there over the years they owned a cabin nearby on East Spirit Lake. My sisters are getting Molly Yeh's Molly on the Range cookbook for Christmas. I've gifted Cal Peternell's Twelve Recipes to recent high school and college grads. Peternell is Chef of the famous Chez Panisse restaurant in California and wrote this book for his children as they grew up and became independent. His hope was that they would nourish themselves and others through good simple food. I've also gifted books on making snack platters and cheese boards, though none could be as beautiful as ones created by Megan Lewis of MilkMade! And I am wondering when our local food heroes Eric and Sarah Watson will publish a cookbook?
If I'm feeling particularly flush, I sometimes add a cool kitchen item from Stabo Scandinavian or Zandbroz or Creative Kitchen at West Acres Mall. Candles: I love giving and receiving candles. I spent seven years in Seattle for residency training and locally made hand blown glass candle holders called GlassyBabies were the rage. They are filled with tea lights, so the glass holders can be used indefinitely. The colors were gorgeous and had a special name and intention, such as Soul, Courage, Celebrate, Gratitude and Silver Lining. There are hundreds of colors now. The company donates about five percent of each GlassyBaby sold, and they have donated over $10 million dollars over the past 20 years. Locally, you can find great candles at Unglued, Do Good Adventures, Grateful Cratefuls and SCHEELS, where I discovered my first WoodWick candles, that crackle as they burn. Going along with the candlelight theme, I love to give gifts for lakeside bonfires and cozy wood-burning hearths. It seems that conversation and closeness are enhanced by the flames. Experiences: I love giving experiences, such as a Wine and Paint night, a floral class, a picnic, a joint pedicure or a play. My friend Hope and I have a tradition of going to the Plains Art and Architecture tour together. We were able to do this safely distanced this fall, but so many other experiences are out of the question. I'm praying for lots more togetherness by this time in 2021! These gifts of knowledge and food and flames exemplify love and light, literally and figuratively. I love how previously mentioned author Ann Voskamp tells us how we can salvage 2020: "Love the people who don’t like you. Be wildly kind to the people who aren’t your kind of people. Be love so the world learns to love each other again. Be a light so lovely that all are drawn to the flame of such love. Be a light so lovely that injustice withers away." We are the gifts and the givers.
