Hey, Xander. Hope the boys get better soon. How are Dennis and Ash? The air has taken a cooler turn for the past couple of days. Pumpkin donuts and apple cider will be at the farmer's market in another month or so.
Makes sense, considering the Belgians invented Frites. The American soldiers came to fight in Belgium during WWII. Not only was French used as the Belgian army's official language at that time, but the French and Belgian uniforms were very similar. So, the poor dumb Americans mistakenly assumed they had yet to cross the border from France to Belgium. That's how Frites/chips got the name "French Fries".
Honestly, I don't care what they're called, since they're going into my mouth either way.
I've heard of Louis Lunch. A hamburger patty grilled with salt and pepper, served between two slices of toasted bread, with some sliced onions. Absolutely no ketchup allowed!
The Saugatuck Drugstore Soda Fountain was also a nice fixture. Black and white checkerboard tiles, brushed silver barstools, and red upholstery....it was like stepping back into the 60's. Might have to stop there again before we go home.
Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids* Still on vacation, until the end of the month. The lake is very relaxing, and the food is incredible. There's also a few galleries with handmade art, but a lot of that stuff is very pricey.
Glad to hear you guys had fun. I've been to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in Tennessee. The mountains are beautiful, and I saw Ripley's Museum of Believe-It-or-Not.
