A little sad and disappointed today. Our good friends Wade & Pam will not be joining us next week due to a health issue. Here are hopes for a speedy recovery Wade - we'll miss you both tremendously. I know we'll get you back out here another time...
No sign of elk for 2 days (did I talk about their exit too much?) hopefully they are not gone yet. Lots of deer and first sign of one of the big bucks that hung around last summer. I continue to want to somehow control the happenings here - HA HA.
Hooray, Ohio Pass is finally open. Still a lot of snow in the woods and the yellow glacier lilies were everywhere. They're only around early and high and are a great bear favorite (saw no sign of any, sigh of relief). A fair amount of cars back & forth, including a camper and RV. They really shouldn't be going over - a little narrow and winding in places. Summer people are here!
So see photo of crazy decor - guess where we were! Oh, yes, Secret Stash is also finally open for lunch. Yummy, yummy pizza as usual. Quiet there though - the staff spent their time playing Uno when not serving...
Had a great dinner at our friends' Steve & Gail, of guess what - aged beef! They are our first friends who actually followed through on the process after we've raved about it all. We brought caramelized onions (courtesy of Mark) and blue cheese to top it with, and they provided a great salad and polenta. Lots of fun! Changing the beef habits one household at a time...
It will be very interesting to see how the grass-fed beef you'll be getting will fare with the dry aging technique! Pasture-raised is superior, but it does cook differently!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly the way we like our beef--aged with gargonzola and glazed onions. (hint hint)
ReplyDeleteAlso, we have one place we want to go eat--Secret Stash--seriously!
Charles is bringing his clubs in hopes of..well..golf. And,I need to check something off my bucket list with that outdoor yoga in CB.
Can't wait. We are scorching here!
Love to Wade and Pam!!!
