Yesterday was a 50 degree, rainy off & on day. Our fence guys were able to work in between rain and continue to pound away putting in the posts. They hit a sheet of rock just under the surface which slowed things down. The rock is hard and probably 30 feet across. Hopefully their drill will hold out. The cattle continue to circle around us. Hurry fence!
For fun, last night we went to a local chef's challenge cook-off, similar to the Iron Chef concept. If you haven't seen, the chefs are given identical food to prepare multi -courses and a secret ingredient is announced they all have to use. Rosemary was the secret ingredient last night. Not too exotic, but okay. It was the final event of the summer to raise funds for the arts center. Lots of good food before the competition with 11 local restaurants serving their specialities. 200 plus people were there, amazing in this little area, and as the challenge went on with 3 local chefs, people were actually bidding hundreds of dollars to eat plates of leftover courses from the judges table. Eating off someone else's plate?? Hmmm...
I must confess that we left before the winning chef was announced. The friends we were with were in agreement that it was going on way too long - an hour challenge was 2 1/2hrs into it and not done. We're lightweights when it comes to late night stuff I'm afraid.
You left without seeing the winner?!? And, rosemary? Weak!! I thought they'd have an interesting ingredient. That doesn't seem very hard.
