Just Drinks
Are you looking for a delicious way to cool down tonight? Be sure to check out Just Drinks in the most recent issue of Teton Home & Living Magazine. – I’ve included recipes for some tasty culinary cocktails including, Signal Mountain Lodge’s Blackberry Margarita, Snake River Grill’s Mountain Sage and Trio’s Strawberry Cucumber Caipirinha. If you prefer to head out on the town in Jackson Hole, WY or Teton Valley, ID instead of enjoying cocktails in your backyard then be sure to check out my list at the end of the story for favorite places to go.
Portland Farmers Market
Indeed the best farmers market that I have been to! Sorry Moss Street Market in Victoria, B.C. you are right behind them in a very close second place. After having a fabulous and stimulating week attending the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) annual conference which included me doing a presentation for photographers and stylist’s about Online Portfolios on Wednesday I was really in need of some rejuvenation. For some it’s sleep, some reading a book as they lay in a hammock, for me it’s disappearing in a market like this with my camera. Enjoy my photographic journey of the Portland Farmers Market at PSU.
I really try to edit down photos before posting so that it’s not so overwhelming, but the response to the photos above has been so outstanding that I thought why should I be the only one enjoying them. Why not share more? After all it just seems to bring smiles to everyones face. Enjoy and thanks to all the wonderful farmers, growers and producers that provided such great subject matter!
Last day on Jackson Lake for 2009 – Signal Mountain Lodge, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
After another successful season Signal Mountain Lodge closed this past Sunday. Everyone now has to patiently wait till next May to enjoy their famous Nachos and Margaritas. Like all closing weekends the lodge was full of happy, familiar faces. Saturday could not have been more beautiful! Of course we could not resist taking the boat out for one last ride of the season. It was absolutely one of the most beautiful afternoons I have ever spent on Jackson Lake!
Step off the Bridger Gondola and step into Couloir Restaurant, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Chef Wes Hamilton produces seasonal selections made with products from local vendors that are just as beautiful as the scenery that surrounds his kitchen. The menu at Couloir features dishes using free range and natural meats, sustainable fish, and seasonal fruits and vegetables from local farms.
Chef’s Table – Yes it’s right in the kitchen!
The Wildflower, The Lodge at Vail, A Rock Resort
Get ready, there are a lot of photos from dinner at The Wildflower. Everything was amazing! Even though the company and conversations were compelling, I just could not hold myself back from snapping away. Every plate that arrived to our table was just beautiful and the light from all of the garden view windows was just perfect. So… in between bites, sips & laughs I clicked away. I joked that I was going to call this post “Empty Plates” as you’ll see we devoured just about every morsel.
Enjoy!
