I've made my own, and smoked it, but it is much easier to go to Ye Olde Polish Market and buy it.

Everyone knows that the bird is the word.....bird, bird, bird,bird....
What a tragedy! The summer of 76 WAS the bird. May he rest in peace.

He brought Tiger baseball to the national limelight at a time the team trully did not warrant it. His career was cut short but the memory of that fantastic summer will be forever etched in the minds of those of us who witnessed it.

It's really sad that it had to end this way for him. But he will always be remembered as someone who brought joy to a lot of people

I remember walking home from St. Judes on McCormick and somebody had painted Fidrych throwing a ball on the garage door. People don't do things like that anymore.

He was truly a nice person too. He spent a lot of time with my Mom when she was honored as the first "Ironwoman" at the Lou Gehrig luncheon for Henry Ford Hospital. We took pictures and he took the time to put his hand on hers and wish her the best. I won't forget that.

That's a sweet story, CFG. I'll bet it meant a lot to her
