Today's shot from 8 years ago, when the Pasty Cam was brand new, reminds us that Pasty Central itself wasn't a new website - it had been around for a couple of years, with occasional pictures of the residents at Still Waters celebrating one of their favorite foods. Just in March of '98 it became a regular feature, where people soon found out they could see something new everyday from the land of snow and pasties.

The smiling lady with the "I Love Pasties!" T-shirt is Kathryn Sullivan, our oldest resident at Still Waters at the time. Later that year Pasty Central would televise Kathryn's 100th birthday on the web. We had such an outpouring of birthday greetings, which you can still read back there in the Archives (a little more of that Recycled Internet:o)

On that third day of the new "Keweenaw Pasty Cam" (see yesterday's What'sUP for that story), the focus on this Home for the Aged in Calumet began to emerge. After all, Pasty Central was born as an Internet fund-raising project, just one of many projects in its 2 decades of service to the Copper Country. Later this month we'll have more to say about the 'Big Picture' at Still Waters, and the role the 'Pasty' project has played in recent years.

Good Morning Everyone

Good Morning

Morning!

morning. Got the spag. sce made already this a.m.

I look forward to future installments of the
Pasty Cam story.

I think it would be great to sit in on a "preparation" party. Love the stories.

Morning! Boy would it ever be nice to have that many people helping you make pasties. I can never make a few because when I do make them, all of my boys and their families have to come over. So I have to make anywhere from 18 to 20 and NONE of them gets frozen because they all get eaten. So it's not like I can just take one out of the freezer a couple of weeks later. So, I only make them a couple of times a year. Makes you appreciate them more I guess. I should try ordering them sometimes. Then I could just order a couple. What a good thing you're doing so that others can enjoy the UP pasty.

Hi hi.. .

Deb, My daughter will only make pasties if I cut up all the ingrediants and help her. She is a fifth grade teacher and is always busy with her three kids. When she had the last one I did all the cooking for her for two weeks. My three year old grandson Tim thinks that I am the best cook since I made sure that everything I made was something he likes. I really impressed him.

The first meal when we get back home next month will be a pasty.
