We are now, at this very moment, sitting in Joe's Gizzard City in Potterville, Michigan. This dive -- and it's definitely a dive -- was recently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. The menu promises deep-fried everything.
We've just ordered the Triple D, a deep-fried burger with onion rings, and the gizzard sampler platter, which Gary will eat and I will not eat. The sampler platter include Cajun, herbs and garlic and more.The dessert menu is like no other: the Frinkie, a deep-fried twinkie, deep-fried oreos, deep-fried nutter butters, deep-fried ice cream sandwich and last, but certainly not least, deep-fried cheesecake. Cheesecake is so incredibly rich just by itself; I cannot begin to imagine what it's like fried! Our friend, Mike Venable, has lately inspired me to eat healthy, which is difficult here in deep-fried heaven.
Tomorrow, we're going to Battle Creek to learn about cereal and to some other small town that manufactures Jiffy mix. I love Jiffy cornbread. We've just spent a great two days in Ft. Wayne, Indiana,with Gary's childhood friend, Rita, who he regards as family, and her mother, Aunt Mildred. Sadly, Aunt Mildred is not doing well because of a stroke. But she did seem to remember Gary, and she stroked his face, which was so very sweet and special. It was so touching.
It's cold here, really cold, and snowing. My thin Southern blood is suffering! We're sitting here listening to a conversation between several guys that drive snow plows. One said he had to push 13 inches of snow, and couldn't find a place to put that much snow.
