MORE FOOD! MORE MOUNTAINS!

so its a bit after the fact, but i have some photos of the meal we had in park city the night before we hit the rockies. quinn’s mom treated us splendidly. who cares if we ate desert first and THEN found the 2 for 1 dinner entree coupons in the local paper? as roz said, “in life, you should enjoy desert before dinner.” so i’ll post the photos in the order we ate.
creme brulee with little hazelnut cookies
ken's chocolate orangscicle with banana
ken's kobe beef with chipotle shrimp skewers
quinn's elk asparagus octopus monster thing
my BBQ ribs volcano with mashed potatoes and onion rings. the potatoes are stuffed into the coil of ribs. pure deliciousness.
so with this fantastic meal we tackled the rocky mountains. and conquered.  ken has already written all about it so i’ll just put up some photos i have of the brutal climb.
notice ken's goofy ass in the background
after 4 hours of climbing this was a welcoming sign
after the 50mph stinging descent this is what we devoured at the local chevron
so that is my interpretation of the rocky mountains. food. climb. descent. food. i found myself at one point asking the mountains, “is that all you got for me? rocky mountains huh? more like just a pile of rocks.”
the next morning after sleeping in the spare office across from Chevron we walked over to the station and ate. it was surprising to me that it was a corporate gas station but everything on the menu was made from scratch on the spot. donuts, brownies, cookies, breakfast sandwiches, chili, everything! and it was all fantastic!
ham, 2 patties, 2 eggs, pepperjack
it looks like your food was a mountain.
yum yum
you’re gonna need to start posting some more dirty, rugged, sweaty pictures 🙂
oooo you’re blog makes emoticons! 🙂 😉 😀
Hey Andy,
Have loved following your trip. Ken’s detail has been great. Your food photos in Salt Lake (?) looked like stuff that looked too good to eat. But the fruit pie at the Chevron was more my style.
I liked your comment “Rockies, is that all you got for me”. I think that line was already used by the “Donner Party”. Good luck. See you in Milwaukee.
Again, this is not Adriann but Andy’s dad. Explain to me, in this current economy, how a corporate Chevron station can make such good looking food from scratch?? Who says it doesn’t pay to live in a small town?? It has looked worthwhile to me.

Wow, awesome food! So awesome and you guys so deserve it! Andy, I love that you photograph your meals! Gran and mom have always photographed beautifully set tables during holidays…did you know that? We saw a bikenbar today at the Tulip Time parade and it’s a 10 seated bike with a bar in the middle..everyone faces each other. I’ll have to email you a picture sometime.
