Even though we’re known as “trolls” in some areas, we thoroughly enjoyed the pasties B & R brought back from their latest trip to the Mackinac area. They served as our “pre-race” lunch on Saturday before the Glass City Marathon. I thought they had a nice appearance as well as a delicious taste. Even though it was a bit windy, we enjoyed eating them outside under the deck.
Our “carb-loading” pasta dinner is one of my all time favorites; of course we had salad and bread with it! 
Breakfast at 5:45 Sunday morning was oatmeal, French toast, and bacon. I had too many pre-race jitters and couldn’t even finish my oatmeal – only ate about 3 spoonfuls! NO COFFEE and I’m so glad since there were no porta-potties to be seen anywhere downtown.After the race we watched more finishers, then headed home to “picnic” fare - all beef hotdogs, potato salad and chips.
Yummy! ~~K
Why are you known as trolls? and what are those things filled with?
ReplyDeletePeople living in the Lower Peninsula are commonly called "trolls" by Upper Peninsula residents, as they live "Under da Bridge."
ReplyDeleteThe traditional pasty is filled with diced beef, sliced potato and onion.
All of that food was so awesome, it makes me hungry just to look at the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think we should start a new race weekend tradition: cajun chicken pasta for dinner the night before the race, all beef hot dogs with chili sauce for lunch afterwards... (maybe we'll be repeating this in September?!)
