o-navy1776.jpgThis time last year we were just dropping off the guests that I now work for.  I remember thinking how weird it was that I was spending this holiday cruising the Mediterranean Sea toward Turkey.   Life’s funny, if you told me then that I would be in Sun Valley a year later I would have laughed at you.  During my vacation in New York, I rented the HBO mini series John Adams.  I recommend it wholeheartedly, as you will  gain an appreciation for what our forefathers struggled for our freedom; plus it is just fascinating to watch.  I still haven’t figured out a picture solution for the food i am cooking as we are all busy when I am plating the food.  My options are limited here, but it is fun to see brands I have not used in years such as Darigold and Tillamook.  I grilled a Wild King Salmon tonight and bone-in Rib Eye Steaks.  For the steaks, I just seasoned them with steak seasoning, coated them with fresh herbs, and squeezed lemon juice on them a few minutes before grilling.  I topped them with slow cooked Walla Walla Sweet Onions.  Slowly cook the sliced onion in butter until deep brown (this will take 30-45 minutes if done right), and enjoy one of the better steaks you will ever eat!
