These roofers live up to their name.

Employees of Northern Roofers, Kevin Taylor and Bo Polen, ply their trade Saturday on a tall house at SR 81 and SR 235.

Go ahead and bring home a bag of cranberries

Try the Icon Cranberry Faux Apple Pie
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, December 14, 2016

As a sometimes impulse shopper, cranberries call me from their seasonal spot on the grocery shelf usually in mid-December. This year I answered the call.

But, because cranberries grow up in a bog you don’t just pop them into your mouth like candy or popcorn. They apparently need to be baked to eliminate the bog effect.

And unless you act decisively, the bag of berries ends up in the back of the ‘frig until Easter.

Not this year.

Visions of a cranberry-based pie danced in my head as I held the two-cup bag of Michigan bog boys.
