Farm to Table

Today began with electricians fixing problems with our light switches mad early… So Pegs & I further edited the book. After a couple hours of that ruckus (/when they finally finished tooling around), Pegs & I were able to do our yoga set. Then we decided to enjoy the sun by hiking up Spring Creek! While enjoying our hike Pegs & I had another enlightening conversation about the book, life, friends, family, and more… The leaves have just started changing to the most beautiful shades of yellow and gold, and with this being Pegs first real fall, we are fully appreciating Steamboat’s beauty!!

By the time we got home we had to get ready for our Farm to Table dinner. Pegs bought tickets for this event she saw in the local paper last week and invited Robin and her Mom, Winona, to join us. It was about 10 miles outside of town at a newly purchased ranch. It was very interesting getting to walk around the property with the owner while listening about his methods of farming. He was refreshingly honest about everything he shared with us!

After seeing where the chickens, pigs, and dairy cows were kept we sat under large white tents next to the huge red barn for dinner. It truly was a farm fresh meal! Our first course was a potato, kale, & onion soup; followed by blanched green beans, a beet salad with a Dijon vinaigrette, and beef tenderloin as the main course! YumMmMmY!!

It was another delicious day in the ‘Boat : )
