snip temptations of the forbidden fruit

Good gawd, I wish I could get up there this year. Hope y'all have fun.
I'll
cook up some pasties in absentia.

I've made pasties. It's a lot of work.

Hell, half of the work is deciding howzabout to undertake the process. There
are (at last count) 6.02 x 10^23 different recipes on the web (I know, I'm
still not a chemist). Deciding which is best, or distilling the better parts
from many is an undertaking worthy of at least a few hours time. Then,
there's the whole "crust" question. Sweeter? Flakier? Bisquik (Heretic!)?
Pre-made (Apostate!)? The possibilities are almost without limit.

The actual stewing, and subsequent baking of the various ingredientia is, to
me, the easy part.

'Course, the eating is generally the *best* part.


I'd suggest that you come with
us, eat pasties in their natural habitat........and deal with work and
family.....in absentia.

The natural habitat (including the beer, the fishing/hiking, and the varied
accompanying fauna) certainly does bring out the best in _pastyus
yooperalarus_. (Especially from the little stand on the side of 41 (or 141?)
as you enter, then leave, then enter Michigan. About the best six or seven
bucks you can spend.)

Unfortunately, classes start next week, and I'm already at least 20 years
behind in my reading.
