February 4, 2003lard made a stunning comeback in the 1990s---------------------
We have twelve guests at the resort this week. They arrived last Saturday and today enjoyed the largest new snowfall of the winter. Alger County was under a winter storm watch yesterday as lake effect snow blanketed the area coupled with 20 to 30 m.p.h. winds out of the northwest. We spent most of today trying to stay on top of the snow. M28 was closed all day between Munising and Marquette and our guests were unable to travel the ten miles from Au Train to the Kewadin Casino in Christmas. This bunch of snowmobilers is the largest group we have hosted. We now know that we can host at least five trucks, four large snowmobile trailers, and twelve sleds!
-------------------- COLONNATA, Italy The plump American tourist warily put the sliver of pinkish lard in her mouth, made little smacking sounds, smiled and said it was really delicious. "But do you have a lean version?" she asked. "Lean? But it's lard. It only comes fat," answered Renata Ricci, proprietor of Larderia il Poggio high in this Tuscan mountain hamlet.
