Every year, our lab takes a weekend trip to Tahoe. We rent out a huge cabin with a hot tub (though last year, the hot tub didn’t work, hence the nickname “not tub”). It’s a lot of fun, but also sort of crazy logistically, as we try to coordinate meals as a group. This year, two of my colleagues did a great job organizing and buying all of the food and drink. We ate like kings and drank like fish, all for a very reasonable fee. Best of all, I didn’t have to do any of the cooking!
Cuddling up with a giant bottle of bourbon...
... while I cuddle up with a Costco size box of Cheez-Its. Bigger than my head, of course.
Yes, we ate extremely well.
Mashed potatoes (one of two pans).
Hitting the "meat ceiling" and food coma, simultaneously.
On the way back from Tahoe, we stopped in Fairfield for lunch at the Blue Frog Grog and Grill. I got a soup and a chicken caesar salad (not pictured) which was good, but the best part of the meal was the fresh baked bread.
Warm bread and cold beer. Mmm...
An overflowing mushroom cheeseburger
SP's steamed artichoke, served with roasted garlic mayo (not pictured)
mmm artichoke! where did you ski?
We went to Kirkwood that weekend, but we went to Heavenly in January.
oh god how i miss our lab’s cooking prowess (and knob creek!)
that picture of the bread and beer is great!
