Chinese elm is slowly transitioning.



Not sure if it counts as fall colors, but my pomegranate is throwing a fit over moving inside for the winter.

Don’t you guys have like three seasons up there, July, August, and winter?

They’ve got four seasons. You forgot about June.

In Michigan we have four seasons. Fall, Winter, Second Winter, & construction season.

That’s only the Lower Peninsula, though. The Yoop is it’s own thing.

I know the UP seasons, since you failed to list them. Winter, Winter, superiority complex summer, Winter construction & smoked fish & pasties season.

There is no season for pasties. It’s a staple food consumed year round, with ketchup if you’re a native Yooper, or gravy otherwise, eh.

Ok, some of us don't have a clue what you're talking about here. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with adult entertainment, but that's the only image in my head when you say, "pasties."

Basically, it’s a self-contained relative of the pot pie (minus the pot and with different ingredients in the filling, which is more solid instead of soupy). LINk

Ah, that makes allot more sense than the dirty stuff I was thinking.
Not quite as fun though.

Another cold morning. Sharps Pygmy, up close. Fall colors on this tree are never very vibrant, but it’s still a favorite among my maples.

"Shady" indeed. They taste good. Minus the ketchup for me, gravy wins.

They are seriously delicious. I’m not sure why none of the major chain restaurants have ever caught on and put them on the menu. Perhaps it’s just poor branding? The name fails to communicate the meaty, potato-y, rutabaga-y goodness inside.

 

[ShadyStump]

I have no rutabaga - actually, I'm not sure I've eaten it before - but I do believe I'm going to try my hand at these in the kitchen.
