- smoked trout salad as an appetizer. Delicious.
- a poached apple salad with honey bourbon vinaigrette.
- Pan-fried trout with almonds, grapes and lemon butter sauce. I think there were some fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and asparagus along for the ride. Outstanding.
- Apricot milk chocolate mousse for dessert.
- Trefethen Chardonnay, 2007
Was one of the most memorable meals in a long time. The Homestead has been fun so far.
On the sports side; you know, if Brett Favre doesn't want to go to training camp, get on with it. Let him out of it. Give me a break on this "retirement" crap. Admit you want the money, love the publicity and move on. If the media ignored him for a week, he would flippin' retire, but as long as they watch his every move, he'll play on.
I wish I had played golf with a caddy before yesterday. What a great experience. Bart (the caddy at The Cascades Course) really helped me out; 1 3-putt was balanced out by 2 1-putts and none of my 2nd putts were over a foot. If you ever get the chance, spring for a good caddy. Now if the rest of my game could match my putting.
