[ride the whirlwind]

What I have heard on our local radio station in Houghton is that FDR was the last sitting president to visit somewhere in the U.P. Taft was the last to visit Marquette.

My late mother made the best pasties. She often used lard (gasp!) in the crust and a little rutabaga along with the beef, potatoes, onions, and carrots. Catsup on top a must. We're Finns, so maybe that's the Finnish version.

Yes, we watched a local dousing his with catsup and the beverage of choice was skim milk--I'm not a catsup fan, but skim milk was great with it.

Even FDR is a LONG time ago...

If anyone has a great pasty recipe, post it, please!

Houghton is a real pretty place--home of Michigan Tech.
