Pop and I did some skiing. One day it was COLD.
Another day there was so much powder it was hard to ski.
And one day, it was just right, with sunny skies and soft snow.
We also went out for dinner at the Lady Bird Cultural Society.
We had: puget sound oysters with preserved lemon mignonette and calabrian chile,
wood roasted carrots with whipped mascarpone, zaatar, pine nuts and aged balsamic,
wood fired beets with treviso, gorgonzola, walnuts, grapefruit oil, and aged balsamic,
wood fired pizza with white clam sauce, applewood bacon, pecorino, and oregano,
bucatini con burrata e cavolo,
and I had the birds nest – wood fired bread twist, burrata, garlic oil, and aged pecorino.
When we got home, I made myself a fruit salad for dessert.
We had some pretty good food at home, too. One night we had yummy fish tacos. I loved them.
When we were not skiing – we stayed busy. Sometimes in matching shirts.
While we were playing tennis,
and determining how much my wingspan had increased since November 2018,
The Bigs snuck off to enjoy yet another 18+ inch powder day.
We also hit our favorite donut shops and restaurants, went rock climbing,
did some baking (we made chocolate, peanut, raisin clusters)
and even went for a haircut.
I was sad to see Pop go, but that didn’t stop me from throwing him one of my now famous going away parties. The more observant will see I busted out my best box wine.
On Sunday, we headed up for yet ANOTHER major powder day. The drive up to the mountain looked like this:
Another 15″ of snow. It was up to our knees.
I started getting the hang of things and basically became pow man.
Falling is no problem in this much snow!
All that fun and snow and a bit of tummy trouble –
wiped me out.
Your definitely bigger than Gyrfalcon, not quite as big as a Turkey Vulture but the undoubtedly a perfect match with the Oregonian Snow Bird! Love, Uncle Jim
ski ski ski! I don’t get how you can ski when its up to your knees🧐
It does look like you had a very nice busy week and some very different foods.
The haircut is looking good.🥰😍
Back to school and then another vacation with Papa this time. Hope he’s ready to be worn out🤣
Very busy week and Pop is now recuperating at home 😂 What a great time. Thanks
Papa is already worn out looking at all that skiing in knee deep powder. Kudos to Pop. I’m resting up and will be ready to go.
What a week!! No wonder you were exhausted. All the food looked intriguing and delicious. I’d love to hear what all went into the fish tacos.
I just went back and looked at all of you powder skiers!! You all look fantastic and as though you’re having the best time!! So when does your winter end?
