As if there was any doubt I feel sorry for the people who got to the farm market after me
It's still a little early in the season. They'll just assume the farmers don't have crops in yet!

Figgy, did you quote the wrong post? @figmentfan423It's easy to follow the rules when a household member works for an outfit that can shave your head at will

We had a good time up north... only got lost once... (which seems to be mandatory every roadtrip) but didn't go too far out of our way. We went to Tahquamenon Falls, both Upper and Lower, and we went to a few casinos, we also went to the area of ft Michamackinaw near the foot of the bridge, and we had a pastie show down to decide which we liked best. And saw the biggest seagull we've ever seen!
Here are a few pictures!
Upper Falls
Lower Falls
After the falls we made our way back to our hotel, checked in, and Scott took a short nap. Then it was time for the Pastie show down, Bessie's Versus Lehto's.
For those that have never had a Pastie, it's a traditional hand pie, filled with ground skirt beef, potato's, onions, and either Carrots or Rutabaga's. Some people eat it with Ketchup, and some eat it with gravy. It's said that ketchup is a upper pennisula thing, and gravy is lower Michigan. However, I've always eaten them with ketchup. Unanimously, Scott and I both preferred the bottom one, which is Bessie's. It has carrots, but the seasoning was much tastier, and had a better mouth feel.
We went to a few casino's afterwards, and broke even... yay for free entertainment.
Yesterday we woke up and went to breakfast, and then went to explore Mackinaw City, which is a big tourist trap, but we did find our way to the fort area and I got to put my feet in the very cold water!

Looks like a nice time, I love waterfalls! I love your shirts! I remember crossing that bridge, it was cool and scary at the same time. I'm glad you two had a chance to relax and sight see a little. Did you win big at the casino? Maybe tens of dollars?

We pretty much broke even... so I can't complain too much!
Thanks about the shirt... I ordered it from Etsy, and I just love it, the tshirt she uses is just so super soft without being thin!

Would you mind posting a link to her shop or putting it in a pm?
Oh and congrats on breaking even, I always lose.

Those are some pretty falls. You must have gotten a lot of rain there lately with the water on the falls being so muddy. Those pasties sound delicious. I honestly hadn't heard of them until I read the Harry Potter books, although I think I knew them previously as Jamaican hand pies. I love your shirts!

I knew I recognized it. One of my very best happy places. I could stare out that window and watch for hours.

Yeah, I have no idea, either. I will keep reading. Hopefully, someone answered, and then we can both feel a little stupid.

What is the context of what you and @Songbird76 are discussing about "ENG"?
Since I have no idea my response might be way off base.
Electronic News Gathering (ENG)
Probably not correct.

When my family goes Up Nort' , pasty is what is for lunch, everyday. Best ones are from a little bakery in Ironwood called Rigatoni's. And always with ketchup!
Proper original Cornish pasties.
Best in the world.

That isn't mud. That is the high mineral content in the area.

And here is my problem with both. Neither really fits the land theme. But, in all seriousness, it was always a mystery to me why they chose the theme they did. I think the first time I saw Splash was a trip to DL in '96. I recognized the figures right away from America Sings. But, why would you name it, and theme it for a film that would never be shown?@Mr Ferret 88 to the rescue.

Maybe theme it for the Tall Tales? Or American Legends?

That is where the recipe comes from. A lot of the miners came from there. Their wives would send the men to work the mines with a pasty for lunch. Hot from the oven, it helped keep the men warm in the cold weather. As they worked, the men would get hot, and keep the pasty warm.
