Sunday Family Style

Sunday Family Dinner:




I was fortunate enough today to be able to get together with our parents for a Sunday dinner. We cooked up a brisket and with a full day of prep, we had a great time. It’s all in the preparation. I started last night. Prepare a brisket the night before, then chill and slice across the grain. With a cook time of over three hours, there’s time enough to prepare the salad, appetizers and dessert. Take a look at the steps as taken. It was a wonderful meal.


OMG!! The Carmel Apple Tart was FABULOUS!

Fabulous Fall

Goodbye and Thank you:



It has been a wonderful October for me. You have allowed me to visit many of my favorite fall sights and share them with you. I really appreciate your visit to my humble blog and will try to come up with posts of interest in the future. Please leave comments or suggestions. They are helpful to me and truly welcome. See you in November!

Novi to Frankenmuth, Michigan.

A fun Sunday drive:




Today we did our annual run to Frankenmuth Michigan. It is about 90 miles northwest of Detroit and quite a sight to see. At Bonner’s, we find Christmas celebrated 361 days a year.


 They specialize in all sorts of Christmas decorations and themed items.







The store is so large, that once inside, you will get lost on your first excursion there. After Bonner’s it’s the custom to eat at one of the chicken restaurants in town. Bavarian Village and Zehnders are on main street, facing each other. They have been competitors, both selling chicken dinners for the better part of the last century! It’s Sunday chicken dinner, served family style, and I will tell you, the table gets quite crowded with salads, rolls, side dishes, and of course, chicken.






 Well, that is it for this year’s chicken run!
