Post Pig Roast Travels

[Magicman]

After the Pig Roast, we kept the RV in Harrison and made a few day trips.  Monday, it was Northwest toward Traverse City.


Pat checking out Lake Michigan and all of the pretty rocks.



Sleeping Bear sand dunes.
 
Tuesday, it was Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island.



Mackinaw Bridge from the ferry.



We are now on the island.



The Grand Hotel taken from the garden.  This is where the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed.

The sister ferry going the other way.



We ate Pasties in Mackinaw City.  Hers was chicken.



Mine was beef.  We got a couple of frozen chicken pasties to go.   

Wednesday, we made a trip to the U.P.



And had a nice visit with Jeff at the cabin.

I can assure you that those pasties were delicious.  That is why we got some frozen ones "to go".

He's slaming Pasties the way I would slam Grits.

:D....never thought of it like that. I do love my grits with Red Eye gravy!

[LOGDOG]

Great pictures. Makes me want to go back home. I was just telling my wife yesterday we need to make some pasties.

Pasties with gravy...... You've been hanging around that Troll Jeff fella too long. A good pastie needs a little salt and pepper and its good to go. A mediocre pastie needs a little ketchup to help it down.

Nice pictures, Magic Man.

What's in a pastie?  it looks like a calzone without the calzone stuff

I don't put gravy on pasties. I put it on troll pie, so ya'll dont know what you are talking about. ;D

My dad never liked frosting on cake, and I prefer my cereal dry out of the box if it ain't oatmeal and I drink my coffee black.

[Texas Ranger]

Pasties, they look like something Icy contributed to. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I have never in my life heard of Pasties or Troll Pie.....?????

Grits and Mush is all I know. smiley_whacko

[LOGDOG]

Ever had a Natchitoches Meat Pie? Or an empanada? Kind of like that only a more rustic chop that's bulkier and less spicy. I favor the ketchup with mine but dark gravy isn't bad either.

[Magicman]

If or how much gravy was your own choosing, but it came with gravy and we both used it and enjoyed it.   We have learned to never knock a certain locale's food unless you have actually tried it.  You may very well be surprised.  This was not our first experience with pasties and I hope that it will not be our last.

Troll Pie

[Radar67]

Jeff's Troll Pie is awesome.  ;D

[Coon]

If'n I had some rutabaga's I'd try to make some troll pies but I guess that's out of da question so I guess I'ma goona haveta make a nice big canner of borscht (sp.?) Mmmm  I got myself drueling all over mineself now.   :D

[LOGDOG]

I have to say, that Troll Pie looks dynamite. I showed my wife the pictures and she's like, "woooooowwwww we have to make that". 

[clww]

Wow, didn't take this one long to turn into a food topic! :D

[RynSmith]

Right there in the subject line, clww.   ;D

[Raider Bill]

I've always found Pasties to be hard and tough to chew. :D
Used to have a neighbor that made a excellent Troll Pie. She was also from the U.P.
