The Pasty and The Fatman. U.P. Style.

So there have been a couple of things I have forgotten to write about. Shame on me. One is the Pasty. I finally had a real one. It was from a grocery store deli but it was made fresh, still hot and smelled great. Bought it at the Jubilee IGA store on Hwy 41 in Ishpeming. So I took it home and threw it on a plate. Covered half of it with ketchup, as instructed by any Yooper ever I have talked to about pasties. I knew I was not going to eat it all, it was the size of my plate. A dinner plate. huge. So I started eating. And it was good. It was nothing like the fake one I had down in Green Bay, dry and no taste, even with a bottle of ketchup, no this one was moist, very flavorful both the filling and the crust. Now I need to get to Lawry's and have one and over to Jean Kay's, my favorite deli. Then I will compare pasties. So, so far, I am a fan. My job lets me network with all kinds of people in all kinds of industries. Construction companies, home remodelers, window installers, insurance brokers, bankers, and media personalities like The Fatman on 100.3 The Point, out of Marquette. So I was nervous to go talk to him on the radio. I just don't like being on the radio. He was introducing me to the community for the Home Builders Association, with me being the new Executive Officer and all. So I talked about this and that, it was short and sweet. I don't think I did too awful, but if you started counting the times I said UM, you may need your toes. :-) The next food item on my list is one of those Finnish Pancakes and I can never remember the name of them. That and Das Steinhaus. Dying to try that place, I love German food. :-) Food on the brain - Sarah
