Worth five times what it was originally paid for. She will never sell.

if you are ever in my neck of the woods, you will want to remember this name.
east fork pasty company makes one of the best pastys you will ever want to eat.
i have eaten a few over the years from several different places, and east fork is
at the top of the list. their pasty has a nice light flaky crust, and ground beef,
onions, carrots, potato, and rutabaga in their traditional pasty with a good amount
of pepper seasoning. they make some other kinds too, but i wanted to start off with
the traditional one first. they only sell them on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly.
they almost always sell out. $10.00 is the price which is high for the area, but you won't
regret it. they are in calumet, mi

$10 is a LOT for a U.P. Pasty.

One more thing.

Rigoni's (https://www.rigonibakery.com/) and Joe's Pasty Shop (https://thepastyguy.com/portfolio/joes-pasty-shop/), both in Ironwood, MI, would both like a word...

i have had joes pastys a number of times when the wife and i worked in ironwood a coupla years.
not sure if we had them from rigonis or not. i have had pastys from connies, tonys, mohawk superette, roys
suomi, and kaleva (now closed), krupps, and muldoons in munising. also had a number downstate made
by the finnish heritage center in farmington. have also had home made pastys. prices are usually between six
and seven dollars. they are all good. east fork tastes like a $10.00 pasty. not something i will get that often being
fixed income, and frugal retired guy. but, every now and then, yeah, they are worth it.

You people eat some weird stuff up north.
Now let me check on my armadillo stew.

It's been a while since I was at the Asian markets, where I get my weirdest food.

Not posting in the controversial section.
There's nothing controversial about it.
Three teenagers tried to kill their mother by chasing her in the house with butcher knives trying to stab her.
They mowed down their grandmother in the process.
The mother ran out into the street and was hit with a brick one of them threw at her
Ages 14 15 16.
Reason is she shut off the wifi.
They were arrested.
This was in Houston Texas.
I have no link to offer but heard it on the radio.

Here's one link...

never should have turned it on.
it can be very hard to parent children these days.
this may be controversial to some people, but i think that
a parent needs to stay at home with the kids. doesn't have to be the mom,
at least until they are old enough, and sensible enough not to burn the house
down if left alone. i know many families that do it or have done it. parents also
need to closely monitor computer time, and phone time, and be able to block
sites their kids should not be on. kids need to understand computers, and phones
are a privilege, not a right.
craziness is everywhere.

I can't possibly imagine what was going on in that house before this took place.
Probably no father in the house and little if any information besides the news link.
This new technology has turned into a social disease.
Many young people don't even want to order food in a restaurant.
Afraid of confrontation.

I was always assuming that it was boys.
It turns out they were girls and the neighbors said cops were always being called to the house.

Single parents have such a hard time raising kids without a spouse to back them up and support them. Kids these days feel entitled to everything and when they don't get their way they make huge scenes. It's not the parents fault. It just a price of the circumstances. Everyone needs a someone to have their back to enforced some rules or chaos runs rampant.
