Highlights from the "galley"

  Re: (...)
It's been kinda crazy since we've been here but I've tried to come up with wonderful stuff now and then, and remember to take a picture of it.

So the culinary highlights:

Asparagus soup with white truffle oil- our first weekend here.

Cocoa chili rubbed Venison Tenderloin with Maple sweet potatoes and Dark Chocolate Balsamic

Today's fun project - courtesy of Chef Dave Nelson's wonderful recipe. Beet Raviolis. OMG!!!

I forgot to take pictures of the pizzas from the truffled pizza dough (Bless you Jean!) trifecta. But, after giving my boss a slice of the Italian Pepperoni, the Peruvian Blue Potatoe & Brie, and the Mushroom & Truffle pizzas he asked me to do him a big favor "Please never make me pizza like that again!" I asked which one and he just laughed.

I was smart - gave samples to the kitchen manager! As soon as they get enough staffing I'll be in the kitchen with her 3 days a week (4 hours a day)and I'm pretty sure that there'll be some creative time too. Wheeeeee. Now if we can just get some more work campers up here!

Sorry to ramble on and blow my horn. I've just been having too much fun.

WOW, Sharon! Everything looks and sounds wonderful! Isn't that Truffle pizza good?!?!?!? I already need to order more oil, LOL! GREAT idea on sharing with the kitchen manager and staff. I am so excited for you!

And be sure to ramble all you want. That's one of the fun things about this site!

That truffle pizza is the absolute bomb Daphne.

I'm having fun playing with the Dark Chocolate Balsamic. I'm thinking it's about time for my roasted strawberry salad.

The beets were so wonderful! I'm going to keep those high on the list.

My brain just jogged - It might be time for caviar pie. Hmmmm.

I'm hoping that we can play with some fun ideas in the restaurant. They really need to build up their customer base. People come, play golf, and leave. That's gotta be changed - and the same ol' menu just isn't doing it. The local farmers come in for lunch (burgers and fries) and that's about it.
