We had another factory tour on our agenda, the Jiffy Mix tour at the Chelsea Milling Company, in Michigan. We started out eating their apple/cinnamon muffins while we watched a video about the mill, its history, and how it operates. Then we put on hair nets and toured the factory watching the boxes being formed and filled with the various mixes, and finally crated. I didn't know they made over 20 different kinds of mixes including brownie, pie crust, frosting, cake, cookie, muffin and baking mixes! We got a great sample bag with a couple boxes of mixes, and a little cookbook for taking the tour. They also had a special tour sample case of 24 boxes of a variety of their mixes for $12, which of course I bought and can't wait to try!

After that we were really hungry for lunch. We drove to Detroit and went to the Traffic Jam and Snug for a BBQ Beef Panini. I'm so glad we decided to share this one, it was huge! And it was delicious! The carmelized onions and the tender barbecued beef together on the white cheddar/sun dried tomato focaccia was grilled to perfection!

From there we headed over to the Motown Historical Museum. There we saw the home where Barry Gordy, Jr. lived and his famous Studio A. It was really something to be in the same studio where all the greats like Diana Ross, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and many more recorded their music. The tour guide made it a lot of fun and kept us singing along throughout the tour.
