On Wednesday, April 16-17, Joseph had a work retreat at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City. Lucky for us it overlapped the children's Spring Break from school. His generous company treated our family to dinner with the executives and a room which Joe upgraded to one with two beds and included a balcony jacuzzi.
The children had no idea really the royal treatment they received. That hot dog Jonathan ordered off the restaurant's Kid's menu might possibly be the most expensive he will ever eat! (Hot dog, fries, two mini bottles of ketchup and a pickle for the bargain price of $8.00). The girls ordered the grilled chicken breast and steamed broccoli and carrots, $13.00 a plate.
The Mushroom Casserole was my appetizer and was displayed very prettily in a small pot with a lid (3 inches?). The waitor described this as being very natural with few ingredients. The taste was fine, the grit was hard to swallow. Dirt? Joe had Lobster chowder for an appetizer and the dishes were fun because they reminded me of Finnish glassware, except that I guess they would be Norwegian?
We did not have Elk which was the most expensive entree at a mere $52.00 a plate. For dessert the girls were delighted when the boss of EMIA told them they could order Joe's favorite dessert Creme Brulee. It came with strawberries and pound cake. (In my opinion Joe's recipe is better).
I went for the $13.00 Carribean Castaway which included a "z" shaped cookie over a unsweetened coconut custard, passion fruit gelato, and chocolate custard with a "paint" of mango and passion fruit sauces.
The lodge was quiet due to the fact that the last ski day of the season was the day before we arrived. The hills were still blanketed in new snow and pine trees. The flowers and orchids in the room were real (?). Hannah was impressed by the bed turn down service in the evening, which included: a teak tray with a silver canister of ice and tongs, Dasani waters and goblets. Mrs. Cavanaughs chocolate mints placed on our pillow, slippers, bathrobes, floor mats, and the Wallstreet Journal.
