Our Day Off Hike
On our mutual day off David and I went on a hike, and by hike I mean picnic. Those of you who know my know I'm not so outdoorsy, so a hike with the promise of food at the end is right up my alley. We drove up into the Blue Mountain Recreational Area and hiked (300 yards tops) into a pretty overlook and had a yummy picnic. Here are some photos.

Happy Eating and more!
Well, we're sneaking this entry in just under a month after our last post. Sorry it's been so long, but our last blog-worthy food got posted my Mom in her blog over at http://hookingbookie.blogspot.com. We do have some good pics of their visit though...
These pics show my parents, Don and Barbara Malcolm, playing Wii bowling like it's going out of style. I almost had to check their luggage to make sure they weren't making off with our Wii!
We also have the final photo from the 1st annual Big Sky Brewing Company Face Off. This is my facial hair after one month of growing as I groomed it for the competition. I'm proud to say that looking through everyone's photos was like a yearbook from a skid row gentlemen's hotel.
They're tough to see, but I had mutton chops down to my jawline on both sides. And I thought the narrow moustache really added to the creepiness. (Don't worry, Mom. I shaved it off the next morning.) The photos got posted in the tap room for the public to vote on. The results haven't been posted, but the prize money is around $150 and the loser gets his entry fee back. I'll let everyone know if win the grand or the booby prize.
Finally, here is this entry's installment of Happy Eating. At the last farmer's market of the season last weekend, I made a great find and picked up some absolutely gorgeous lobster mushrooms and some Jerusalem artichokes. Here are some pre-cleaning photos of the mushrooms. They're 1/4 pound apiece--the mushrooms, not the photos.
For dinner, we stuffed a chicken with lemon, onion, and garlic and then layered bacon on the top. We roasted it and added the mushrooms and Jerusalsem artichokes to the roasting dish about halfway through the cooking so they'd cook in the chicken juices and bacon fat. We also baked some potatoes and accompanied it with a lovely Scapegoat Pale Ale brewed by yours truly.
I think that dessert is worth mentioning, too, even if we didn't make it. We enjoyed some fantastic Haagen Dazs Toasted Coconut Sesame Brittle ice cream.
Hope everyone is well,
David and Abby
