GREAT idea... BLTs with a bit of CLASS

Discovered this on line the other day so

yesterday for lunch Jeremy and Katie tried it -

Weave together bacon in sandwich size

bake till crispy on a cookie sheet

Place on bread

add the rest of your BLT ingredients -

Its the perfect way to cook bacon for a BLT!!

What to do this weekend if you are in the area

The Leelanau Peninsula Wine, Food & Music Festival

takes place this Saturday, July 21st!

Located in Marina Park, Suttons Bay

Keeping Cool on HOT, HOT summer Days

Never before has the heat got to me like it has this year -

Before when I used to seek out the sun

I find myself seeking out

quiet places in the SHADE -

Here in Northern Lower Michigan its unheard of for it to be

this HOT for this LONG -

We don't have A/C as I don't want to get acclimated to that

when there is so much work that needs to be done in the sun...

So I drink LOTS of water....

Eat lots of refreshing nourishing foods like

Fresh Green Leafy Salads with Fruits... with Veggies

light non house heating meals like

Egg White Frittatas with Kale, Tomatoes, Onion, Garlic & Feta

or just a Simple egg pan fried with Olive oil and spices -

Change that up and fry it in a slice of pepper -

Snacks are often just a bowl of cut of grapefruits and oranges with Sliced Banana -

Even our Fruit Flys enjoy being 4 weeks early!!

Fresh Frittata

Heart felt lunch

Eggs whites, seasonings and feta

pan fried in a pepper

Chopped salad so refreshing

ZEN STEW...

Friday the July 13, EEEEEEEEEKKK!!

is the second Friday of the month.

And that means Zen Stew is at Little Bohemia from 8:30-11:30p

Some of our friends from the Grand Funk crew will be stopping by after their Cherry Fest show.

Dancing will start as soon as you get there. The Little Bohemia phone number is 946-6925.
Lil Bo/Little Bohemia is at 540 West Front Street in Traverse City.
Zen Stew is a group of seasoned pro musicians that have decided to get together and play songs and grooves they love. Mike Marois and Tim Sparling met back in ’73 and in ’75 along with Newt Cole, put together the infamous Newt and The Salamanders. Drummer extraordinaire, Roger Tarczon became a Salamander and the band morphed through the years and presently, along with our Zen Stew bassist, Jack Conners, is Mike’s band, The Fabulous Horndogs. Tim and Roger continue to jam with Drew Abbott in their Leo Creek band.
Zen Stew is playing this and every second Friday of each month at Little Bohemia Pub and Grille.
Dancing will start at 8:30pm and go until 11:30p. The Lil Bo phone number is 946-6925.
Good food, too.
See you there - Tim, Mike, Jack and Roger
