Weekend at the Lake - July 31-Aug 2, 2009

Highlights of the Weekend

We had a fun weekend up North. I found it to be an interesting coincidence that we stayed in the town of "Cook." Highlights include speed scrabble, a pit-stop in Cloquet to see the one and only Frank Lloyd Wright designed service station, roasted marshmallows, colorful signage, colorful foliage, sleeping in the gazebo, and a fun lunch at the Montana Cafe.

Saturday night's dinner was tasty and well received by the group. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, while good, had unplanned hints of dill throughout. I think a little of the dill I kept on the counter after we made our pickles last weekend got into my mixer bowl (also kept on the counter). Not a great flavor combo, but a funny story, and luckily the cookies were still edible.

Thanks so much to our gracious hosts!
