\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We went to Michigan (and Wisconsin) —\u00a0It’s where precious family live, eat, laugh, love, farm, can, build, cheer for the Packers, play cards, enjoy campfires, worship and hunt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once thriving century old family farms are deeply special — Wish I could go back in time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s Winter and snow will be falling — I thought all was beautiful, but locals say to come back in the Summer or early Fall to see the changing leaves.\u00a0 This visit we traveled through Menominee<\/a>, Green Bay, Stephenson and Wallace (I think) and post the food angle about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Portobello Sandwich is popular at the Serving Spoon <\/strong>— You’ll have to find it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their Reuben Sandwich<\/strong> was one of the best I’ve had — It was lean and flavorful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Truck (below) has a Keg as a gas tank or maybe it was truly Beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweetie Freis family making Sauerkraut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep it tightly covered and well pressed to make it best.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Freis family canning — Set for the Winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pickles, Grape Juice and Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peaches, finalized Sauerkraut and more all shelved in a large basement — Impressive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once strained, the Grape Juice was simply marvelous darling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

River view from a bro’s house in Wallace — It was campfire time every night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking in the woods, walking in the woods, nobody walks in the woods — JK, we did.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Deer hunting season starts this week — Real action will soon be goin’ down here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Deer Whisperer (below) feeding ’em before… Shhhhh.\u00a0 Sorry, it’s how it goes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Large bags of Deer Corn and Sugar Beets are sold in the U.P., not seen much in the O.C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good hunters have much respect for the animals — Put on that orange too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s much respect for the Lord — No Alcohol before 11:00a.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve never tried an Old Wisconsin Wiener — Have you?\u00a0 It doesn’t sound sexy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At a Fish Fry they say = A cool hometown bar that serves good Fried Fish on a Friday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had\u00a0Cod, which may be available any day — Names and links to be added once known.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gun safety is extremely important — I had good training before shooting my first gun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What kind of gun was it you ask?\u00a0 A 357 Magnum, thank you very much, and what the %&*$ <\/strong>happened —\u00a0It was crazy, like skiing on a double black diamond slope the first time you ever go down a mountain.\u00a0 It was intense and loud as all\u00a0$*(%<\/strong> without ear plugs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Venison in all forms abounds — Preparing\u00a0a Roast for dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Venison Sausage\u00a0to start.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooked Venison with Gravy (below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A family meal in the U.P.\u00a0\u00a0It was\u00a0super duper yooper for all —\u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had 3 plates of mostly the Ham, Cole Slaw and Scalloped Potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Played Rummy many times too, another first for me.\u00a0 I play cards, but hadn’t played Rummy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way back to\u00a0Green Bay Airport we stopped at Seguins<\/a>\u00a0— A Cheese\u00a0shop in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They offer\u00a0lots of Cheese samples,\u00a0unique\u00a0gifts, and local memorabilia to see, try and\/or buy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been recruited as\u00a0a Packer’s Fan — I guess that means they’re winning the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From what I’ve seen and learned from one visit, the above picture captures a\u00a0genuine spirit that’s felt throughout the Upper Peninsula and\u00a0Wisconsin — So happy together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
