Rhubarb Streusel Bread

So our chef, mike, discovered some rhubarb plants growing in the yard of the lodge and yesterday he taught me how to harvest it. Since part of my job description includes baking morning treats for the guests, I found this rhubarb quick bread recipe to make. The bread turned out wonderfully! I love that you can truly taste the rhubarb too because it isn't masked by anything. This morning, I had several rave reviews- one from the son of a baker :) and another, requesting the recipe!

I got to say, I am loving my job :)))

Banana Creme Pie

Got to love Cajun night, because this sweet little thing is on the menu! I get to help decorate them too :)

Better than a bouquet of roses :)

I was delighted to find two packages waiting for me on the counter today after my workout. One, a box of starter plants for my greenhouse from my sweet boyfriend in Portland and the second, a care package from my mom filled with goodies :)thank you mom and C! Always good to feel loved!

Big Fish

Catch of the day came in at 206 lbs!

Run On the Beach of the Cook Inlet

It is 60 degrees and sunny today in Ninilchik, so I had to go for a run in the great outdoors :) I ran down to the beach access and watched people dig for clams and saw groups of people riding horses along the shore.

Touch Down in Anchorage

So, I'm posting a little backwards. Since I have to catch you up. Here are some pics of the day I left North Carolina and landed in Alaska.

My Greenhouse Project

When you live and work at the same place, it is crucial that one must find some sort of an escape. Mine is my greenhouse. When we first pulled up to our new abode I was estatic to see a greenhouse in the yard and even more happy to find out it had been abandoned several years prior, because this meant it could be all mine :) After consulting with Vivian, I found encouragement on brining it back to life. One trip to the Homer Farmer's Market later, my project began.
I should of taken a "Before & After" photo because cleaning the place up made the results much more impressive.
I still need to collect some more veggies, but here is the start!!!
