O.K. I have to ask. What is a fish house? I have never heard of one! (Can I eat a bunch of this dip while you explain it to me? Take your time….)
Julie Evink says
LOL! This is to funny. The lakes obviously freeze over in the winter in Minnesota. So we have this huge fish houses we drive out onto the lake that have holes in them and then we drill through the ice and fish. It’s like a tiny house on a lake… essentially. Some even have plumbing like a RV! Crazy aren’t we?
