Sunday odds and ends...

Not much new to blog about, but we did just get a copy of our 2016 ranch crew photos! I'm standing, center of third row, plaid shirt and light colored cowboy hat.

And then there was this moose in front of a cabin the other day with the Tetons as a backdrop... looks like a cardboard cutout!

And here are a few delicious food shots from the past month... amazing culinary team! Last night for dinner, we had tender bison steaks, asparagus, rosemary potatoes and flourless chocolate cake (no photo).

This is the appetizer spread at the Sunday evening welcome cocktail party... dates wrapped in prosciutto, fruit, gourmet cheeses, crab or spinach artichoke dip, hot wings, homemade hummus, and shrimp cocktail. Did I mention the "open bar"  from 6-7? Beer, wine AND liquor ;)







The Sunday cocktail party is followed by a surf and turf dinner every week, this week scallops and rare sliced filet, grilled squash and zucchini, baked potatoes and an ice cream sundae bar.

 

 Cherry peach cobbler... there's always a homemade dessert from our pastry chef. Real whipped cream too... none of that canned stuff.

                Italian night... penne pasta and tortellini, 3 sauces & homemade garlic bread.

                                         My all time favorite red meat ...Lamb chops!!!

                                           Spinach with feta and blackberries....

                        A salad bar at every meal in case you're counting calories...

               Thai peanut chicken, couscous, tiny popovers and Brussels sprouts....

We had a group of Swedes at the ranch last week (returning guests) so one morning, our chef made potato pancakes (latkes) and smoked salmon with dill sauce. Mmm. Cranberry scones, pecan waffles and biscuits and sausage gravy also make an appearance during the week.

This was a first for me... wild rice pancakes, healthy and delicious! Breakfast always comes with blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries, bacon or sausage and eggs or omelettes. We've even had crepes.

This was the much anticipated Friday night seafood buffet so the plate looks a little "messy" because I got a small taste of everything.... mushroom risotto, mac and cheese, jumbo grilled shrimp, sea bass, grilled salmon and yes, all you can eat Alaskan crab legs! I'm glad I brought my scale. Somehow, I eat three huge meals a day and haven't gained an ounce. Probably because I'm moving and active ALL day long.... no complaints :)

Lemon custard with fresh huckleberries

Smoked trout and dill sauce for breakfast... looks like salmon.
