It's Thanksgiving Day and since this is my food blog I thought I shouldn't let this pass without commenting on a day set aside to give thanks to God and to eat pretty much anything that comes within reach.
First of all, I'm deeply thankful for my family. This year in particular I've felt their arms around me.
I'm thankful for my old friends like Jeff, Steve, Amy, Brenda, Brian, Jessica, Melissa, Steve, Brian, Brian, Morgan, Adam, Lisa, Jeff, Alan, Neal, Paul, Andy, Natalie, the Jonathans, and a recent re-acquaintance with Aedan (Ed).
I'm thankful for my newer friends like D'Arcy, Brooke and Julia, Amy, Megan, Dave, and of course Sylvia and Ezekiel.

Thanks to each and every one of you.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity for a Ham soda.

Maybe it's just me?

Thanks to Dawn over at "Because I Said So" for making me watch this, the most frightening children's video ever.



It's only recently come to my attention that some little kids (and some older ones) need encouragement to eat. Oh I wish I had that problem.

... maybe it's just me?

It has been said that much of our cuisine is based on a dare. This was no exception.

The Copenhagen
Thick dark rye bread layered with lean roast beef, smoked turkey, a salmon fillet, a fried egg, onion rings and of course - tartar sauce. What else would you use to top that?



By far, this is the goofiest sandwich I've ever eaten. Thanks to Murray's in Minneapolis for this one.

It was really good! The fresh-made potato chips on the side were really really good!

Muskegon has provided us with yet another culinary... moment. Let's just say, moment shall we?

The Bee Bopp in 50's diner

Don't get me started on the name. This little diner has been an ice cream store for a while and this fall they've opened it up as a 50's style diner. So what does 50's style mean?

Art Deco? - nope
Blue plate specials? - nope
Waitresses on roller skates? - nope
Milk shakes served in the stainless steel mixing tins? - nope

Unfortunately this 50's diner means smoking. I don't mean, "wow, it was so good that it was 'smoking'!" oh no. I'm talking about cigarette smoke and lots of it. They seem to have an all-you-can-breathe special going on. It might be that they are next door in the same building to a tobacconist but it really seems like it's too strong to come from next door. I expected to step into the back and find the cook, dishwasher and waitress all puffing away. The other customers clearly knew what they were getting into and came prepared with their own brands to add to the ambience.

The burger pictured above was very good. Double meat, double bacon, double cheese. I've scheduled the colonoscopy and and angioplasty.

Get one to go.
