The One-Pound Chateau Louise Burger in Luna Pier, Michigan
I’ll have more on the Chateau Louise tomorrow, but I felt the burger deserves its own post … I’ve been trying for a couple years now to get a halfway-decent photo of the one-pound burger at the Chateau Louise. The Chateau is one of only three restaurants here in Luna Pier. The light in the restaurant has […]
Recipe: Chili Mac for A U.S. Marine
One of the meals John said he learned to enjoy during his recent U.S. Marine boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina, was a simple Chili Mac. He’s always liked plain macaroni with a little butter, and would eat mild chili on occasion when I made it. During boot camp the past few months he’s […]

A shrimp … burger?? Shrimp BURGER. That’s what the menu said. I like shrimp. I like burgers. But a SHRIMP burger. Who’d-a thunk it? The menu also said, “Our own special recipe loaded with shrimp – You must try it!!” Must try … hmmm … Ok, so it’s not a burger. It’s shaped like a burger. […]

Click the image for a larger version. Almost exactly a year ago I […]
Recipe: Mom’s Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
This image is almost three years old … and I never posted it before?? A couple days ago I was over at Shelby’s food blog reading her post describing her Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler with Cornmeal Biscuit Topping. At one point Shelby wrote: Next time I make this, it’s going to be with peaches, since peach cobbler […]
