&lt;p&gt;NOVEMBER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Welcome to THE Season to be Up North! SAturday was the OPENING OF RIFLE HUNTING. December 1 it ends, and then BOW HUNTING opens up again with BLACK POWDER. The Community Buck Pole had 9 Bucks total and a good time had by all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign posted near (alleged) bait pile:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ATTENTION DEER&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;THIS IS NOT A BAIT PILE&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;IT IS A COMPOST PILE&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;DO NOT EAT&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;VIOLATERS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe you are hungry? Stop in and get our season special BLACK JACK - Blackened Jack Salmon, a smaller salmon grilled to perfection with our original spice rub.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IN THE NEWS Lumberjack Lodge was on the news in September - 9 &amp; 10 News - talking about how busy things get with hunters and fishermen. AS SEEN ON TV Cozy Dining, Excellent Food! Friendly service! &lt;a href="http://www.9and10news.com/category/story?id=143093"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.9and10news.com/category/story?id=143093"&gt;http://www.9and10news.com/category/story?id=143093&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Traverse City Eagle&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Explore &lt;/i&gt;featured us on a COLOR TOUR from Wellston to Cadillac - thanks to Kaye MacDonald, local contributing editor(and our dog trainer!). We DO have Sean’s famous Roasted Carrot Soup, RIGHT NOW and it is delicious! Also featuring his Black Bean with Smoked Pork (from Stout Trout) - just the thing for a cold wet  day.  &lt;a href="http://adserver1.harvestadsdepot.com/travctyeag/ss/085318/"&gt;&lt;a href="http://adserver1.harvestadsdepot.com/travctyeag/ss/085318/"&gt;http://adserver1.harvestadsdepot.com/travctyeag/ss/085318/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;contact: &lt;a href="mailto:info@lumberjack-lodge.com"&gt;info@lumberjack-lodge.com&lt;/a&gt; or Kristin M. Hartnett  -  kghartnett@yahoo.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Here at Lumberjack’s we dip our own onions, we French our own fries. Not only do we deliver, but we deliver! 15 miles or less; hot food every time. What separates us is our attention to quality ingredients and our featured items that stand out in an area where all the menus seem to look the same. We try to provide a popular Up North menu with some consciousness, some originality, and always excellent taste&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;We make our own pizza dough.&lt;/b&gt; (From a secret recipe only written down on one piece of paper, 20 years old, that followed chef owner Sean Hartnett from the Fireside Inn at the Cabana in Florida to Montana, Nebraska, back to Florida and finally to Michigan where it was unwrapped, yellowed and crinkled and still covered with flour, to produce the best pizza here in Manistee county!) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Featuring: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Forest Fire” Hot Sauce&lt;/b&gt; – a homemade concoction with the perfect blend of heat and taste, made from habanera peppers  &amp; fresh veggies to produce a delicious and challenging condiment for our burgers, pizza, french fries or omelets  - if you dare!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shepherd’s “Piezza”&lt;/b&gt; –&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pizza crust smothered with mashed potatoes, gravy, shaved rib eye and cheddar cheese.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stick-to-your-ribs comfort food delivered in a pizza box!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buffalo Chicken Pizza&lt;/b&gt; –&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Instead of wings make it a whole pizza. Hot sauce (mild), Italian chicken, a little blue cheese and mozzarella.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blackened Tilapia -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A flat, mild, farm-raised fish, seasoned with a spice rub and blackened for taste and texture. Served with our fresh made mashed potatoes, this dish allows chef owner Sean Hartnett to show off just a little of what he knows about good food.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Homemade Soups -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt; Sean’s &lt;b&gt;homemade soups&lt;/b&gt; are now a staple of the local grapevine. What will he make this week? We have a call list of ladies who must be called when their favorites are on the agenda.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forester Stew:&lt;/b&gt; A blend of meats, herbs, rice and veggies slowly cooked and cared for with a touch of duck fat to bring them back for more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Onion Soup:&lt;/b&gt; Simmered with red wine to give it just the right kick and consistency, you can’t find a better bowl of warm goodness. … if you do, you won’t be around here!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dining room Open&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tuesday-Thursday 11-7 / Friday &amp; Saturday 8-9 / Sunday 8-2 / Closed Mondays&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Come enjoy the national forest and our quiet, friendly town!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See you soon, Kristin &amp; Sean Hartnett&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lumberjacklodge.tumblr.com/post/25343047</link><guid>http://lumberjacklodge.tumblr.com/post/25343047</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:31:31 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>LUMBERJACK LODGE &amp; RESTAURANT
