A trip to God's country: Long live Michigan's U.P.

True. But it will literally take you more than a week to eat two, so you could freeze two if needed.

 

They freeze and reheat pretty well.

 

Thanks for reminding me ... hey, I didn't say I love EVERYTHING about the U.P.!

But I had the last laugh when those Pack-backers tortured me with green-and-yellow food coloring pancakes at a fundraising breakfast on Super Bowl weekend. Because at the end of that 1998 day:

Denver Broncos 31, Green Bay Packers 24

 

Food-colored Packer food? This video is (sort of) for you!

 

I remember "pasties" from England (pronounced the same), but I didn't know it was the same thing. The ones in the convenience stores there are basically rebadged Hot Pockets.

 

I'm partial to Trenary Toast.

 

Good stuff, Bubs ... what a whiner. I'll eat burgers, brats, etc. with football fans of any stripe, any time at a tailgate party or backyard barbecue.

That said, I recall that our basic cable channels in Manistique (you had to have some sort of cable subscription, or you didn't get any TV stations to come in) had two Fox stations specifically so Packers and Lions fans could both see their teams on Sunday. That was the only reason for it.

As a Bears fan, that meant I got to watch my boys at least four times every season. Unfortunately, the Bears were God-awful in the late 1990s.
