I'm particularly drawn to a flavor that isn't shown on the postcard.  Sour cherry syrup.  For some reason I would like to find a drink to mix that with.  I found some info on one of the Willenborgs: http://easthamptonstar.com/Obituaries/2017914/John-V-Willenborg-Longtime-Montauker

I mix it with a chilled cola.
RC or Coca, they both work nicely.

Oh, the RC does sound good.  Thank you, Bart.

LOL "Some things never change" that's right they never do.

Recently had lunch at an all you can eat pizza buffet restaurant.

A woman escorted her comfort/companion dog up to the buffet table. I was amazed by the Dog's good manners, he waited until she had filled her plate with slices of pizza before snatching a slice for himself.
I saw a guy 'feed' his GSD pup some corn. It grabbed the cob on his girlfriend's playe cause she was on phone. He tried to swallow whole thing n guy got it out, held it and crazy enough the dog bite n chewed the kernels off just like a person while he rotated cob. Very amusing for passersby.

As a young kid I once told my mom that I wanted to be a stagecoach driver when I grew up.

I hear there's an opening.  Experience in looting customer's accounts preferred

Ha, nice pics, PB.  Oh, wait a sec.  That's my bank!  I should talk them into letting me deliver the next gold shipment.

I wish I could have taken everybody that likes pork to this place but it is no longer open.  A pity too, because The Embers in Michigan specialized in pork dishes.

Somebody found a recipe from the place though, in case an enterprising EllGabber would like to recreate the Ember's signature dish and have us all over for dinner.  https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/the-embers-original-1-pork-chop-365586

The Embers #1 Pork Chop Recipe

Quote
READY IN: 26hrs 45mins
SERVES: 6-8
YIELD: 6 chops
UNITS: US
Ingredients
Nutrition
6 lbs pork chops
Marinating Sauce
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup water
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1 teaspoon salt
Red Sauce
1⁄3 cup water
1 (14 ounce) bottle Heinz ketchup
1 (12 ounce) bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard

Directions
Marinating Sauce:
Take soy sauce, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt - mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Let cool.
Put chops in a pan with bone side up.
Pour marinade over the pork chops and let stand overnight in refrigerator.
Take chops out of marinade, place in baking pan and cover tightly with foil.
Put in 375 degree oven and bake until tender - about 2 hours.
Red Sauce.
While chops are baking, combine all red sauce ingredients in heavy saucepan or double boiler.
Mix well - leaving no lumps.
Bring all ingredients to a slight boil.
After chops are tender, remove from oven and dip in red sauce.
Take chops after dipping and place in baking pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven or until slightly glazed.
Both sauces can be reused if brought to a boil and stored in refrigerator or frozen.
For an extra flavor keep at room temperature until you are ready to put on a charcoal pit or grill. Have grill as high as possible from coals, not a large bed of coals is needed. Place finished chops on grill, let cook slowly, a little blacking does not hurt chops -- grilling should not take more than 15 minutes.
