We have returned from a great ski trip and have started cooking again. More at-home recipes soon, but first an update from the trip:
A photo of Girl (on the left) and Boy (on the right, in the cool dreadlock-ed helmet cover), on our annual ski trip. We had a great trip. This was at the top of “Elk Camp” lift, right before going down the “Sandy Park” run – one of our favorites.
We ate at a wonderful restaurant called Artisan one night (http://www.stonebridgeinn.com/images/StonebridgeInn_ArtisanMenu.pdf).
WOW WOW WOW! This place is SO good! We ate here last year, as well. My dad loved the Duck with Drunken Cherries so much that we went back two nights in a row and he ordered it again! Boy and Girl even enjoyed their meals, although they were pretty tired out after a day on the mountain and fell asleep by the beautiful fireplace. I had the Crispy Calamari over Mizuna Greens for an appetizer and it was delicious, then had the Scallops for an entree. They were served over pasta in a creamy sauce that had JUST enough spice.
My scallops…..mmmmmm.
We also had dinner at Lynn Britt Cabin (http://www.aspensnowmass.com/onmountain/dining/default.cfm?id=1386).
It was lots of fun (we rode a snowcat up the mountain to the cabin) and the food was good (Chicken Breast with Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing and Poblano Gravy….Mmmmmmm…..), but ouch – it was pricey!
Me and my dad looking, in shock, at the bill (over $800 for 6 people, 2 of them children).
All 4 of us (me, Hubby, Boy and Girl), at Lynn Britt Cabin
