Which year in today's review is also seen as the starting slide of July 27th Day in History?

morning

2008

Good morning!! Would that be 2011? I'm not sure!!

Anyway, have a great day today. Rain here again:(

Morning Mikie!!

Well, at least we know you weren't cheating

2008

2008 Dog gone slow computer.

I don't know how to find that, I guess. Hmmmmm!! Something for me to work on.

Mikie, do you have dial-up?

Each day we feature a Day in History

Morning Deb. Been trying to talk Precious into buying me a new faster computer. This one is almost as old as me. Bought it used from Fred Flintstone. The rocks in it are getting worn.

Happy 71st Birthday to Bugs Bunny today! Too late for the Bird, so I'm trying for the Bunny.

The Bunny Bread! Oh My Gosh, I Love It!! Your dreams come true here on Pasty Cam!! This made my day!

Mikie: It's not so much the rocks wearing out, as it is the salamanders that carry them around inside getting tired. Takes a lot of work to pick up the rock from the hard drive, carry it past the memory and the CPU, then carve the picture of what you asked to see on the inside of the LCD panel - and then do it all over again - and again. Most people think LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, really it's Lots of Chisels Display. And those times when things seem really slow? That's either the salamanders having to sharpen the chisels, or taking a coffee break.

Don't you wish you could "Like" someone's post on here, like on facebook? I'm thinking that if that has crossed my mind, I must be getting near being a facebook addict....LOL

Too true Mary!!! like!

Any one remember the Star Bakery in Hancock? And Star Toast? Or how about Shei's bakery in L.L.? Not sure of the Spelling, Shie's, Shei's. Maybe Kenny will read this and correct me.

While staying with friends in Roscommon, we enjoyed some Spatz Bread from Saginaw yesterday morning before heading out to TC and the Leelanau Peninsula for some wine tasting and geology.

Checking the web this morning, our eyes are on the Gulf as it looks like something is a brewing and potentially heading for the Texas coast. Hopefully it isn't anything more that a tropical wave or tropical storm; anything stronger than that and we would likely have to end our vacation and head back down, not even reaching the Promise Land...... LLL

Star Bakery --- across from Volwerth's. Sure do remember it and the 2 pound boxes of toast.
As a kid it was a treat to put peanut butter on the toast and dunk it in coffee.

Tom---These days it's Trenay Toast. Almost as good but best of all it's still being made!!

I promise I'll shut up right after this! The photo of Rock of Ages light house really rang my bell today. I am the happy owner of that lighthouse's clock taken off the wall in 1924 when the lighthouses became the responsibility of the Coast Guard. Prior to that they were taken care of by the US Lighthouse Establishment. Sadly I have to get rid of it as I am selling my house and going to live in my RV in Florida.

Good pics, even the loaf of bread.

Well, to be precise, it's (click → ) Trenary Toast.
See also (click → ) Trenary Home Bakery. (Their old web site!)

Star bakery's ad for their toast was often buttered never bettered.Well known at the time.

Ahh! Good ole korppu maitoa! (Spelling?)

Thanks for the explanation Dale.Am going to try to find some new salamanders.

AJ - WI (Ajinwi):
"Ahh! Good ole korppu maitoa! (Spelling?)"

Spelling: Perfect!
(Oh darn, now I gotta order some from Trenary!)

I've ordered korpuu's (FRNash: korpuus plural does not look right, so I used korpuu's. How would I write the plural for korpuu?) from Trenary and they were good. Not quite like Star toast, but quite good. Anybody know what the shelf life is for Trenary Toast? How long does it last in the cupboard?

AJ - WI (Ajinwi):
"(FRNash: korpuus plural does not look right, so I used korpuu's. How would I write the plural for korpuu [sic]?)"

For most Finnish plurals, just add a 't', but sometimes a little additional modification is necessary, as in this case:

Korppu (singular)
Korput (plural)

"Anybody know what the shelf life is for Trenary Toast? How long does it last in the cupboard?"

Funny, they just seem to evaporate before ya know it! <grin>

I was traveling thru Marquette on my way home last fall. I had purposely bought Trenary Toast and a lucious rum cake (from the monks) as a treat for when I got home. Guess what I remembered that I had left behind in the cabin I had rented that week....yup my treats!!! Dum-dum! Guess I'll have to go up there again huh!

Congrats JT on the first Early Bunny, but you know what's gonna happen now. A Bun followed by nys.

I looked for the like button on your post, Mary, lol!!

Hooray!! I found it Charlie!! Thanks!! How did I forget that was even there?? Yet one more place for me to visit every morning....sigh!!
