As we prepared to make the short drive this morning to our weeklong stay in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, we determined that we a good choice for a grocery stop might be the Sunday Lake Supermarket in the town of Wakefield, Michigan just a couple miles down the road. It was an excellent choice with everything we needed and friendliness in abundance. Then remembering some excellent pasties we’d enjoyed here in 2019 we headed to Randall Bakery just around the corner and down the street. Such a delightful experience in this local establishment. We left with Traditional Pasties and coffee to fuel us for today’s adventures. Yum! No visit to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is complete without pasties! Life is good.
The link to Randall Bakery lists the ingredients in the various pasties they sell. Although they offer a Breakfast version, we always choose the Traditional or Cornish, originally developed centuries ago as a midday meal for the hard rock miners in Cornwall, England with meat and vegetables baked in pastry, sort of the original Hot Pocket. When Cornish miners emigrated to the copper mines in Michigan their cuisine including the Pastie came with them and has remained as very much a part of the Upper Peninsula culture.
Have missed the boat about the pasties when we were in the UP last year. On another note, can you send me the make model of your tire monitoring gadget. Thanks, Richard Moore

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
What was inside the pasties? Was it a breakfast type item or more lunch-dinner choice? Whatever it was, it looks delish.
