veggie scotch eggs



Scotch eggs are a traditional British snack - a hard boiled egg is wrapped in pork sausage, breaded and fried, and served with mustard or some type of sauce


I made a vegetarian version with 'Gimme Lean' (suppose to sound like Jimmy Dean - ha) veggie sausage. A toast to the Queen's Silver Jubilee today!

some awesome things in the U.P.



Trenary Toast , made in Trenary, Michigan, is toasted bread that has one side coated in thick cinnamon sugar.  We couldn't stop eating them.


I visited the Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point and learned all about the 'Graveyard of the Great Lakes' - the stretch of coast where dozens of ships have gone down, including the Edmund Fitzgerald - it was fascinating and sad

Miles of hiking through the forest

There were weird mushroom things that grew on the trunks of trees - like upside-down cups
