After
46 days on the road and not visiting a beauty parlor, by looking at the exposed
roots, I was shocked to discover the Bev and Pat both have white hair and that they actually color it red. The focus for
this day was getting that corrected but we began with a trip out for breakfast.
Sisters
is hosting a huge Folk Music Festival this coming weekend so we decided we
better do our in town things before it happens so we headed to the spot that
received the best breakfast reviews – The Cottonwood Café.
This
was not just your normal breakfast fare place and the food was pretty gourmet. Bev had the Huevos Motuleño which was
beautifully presented, but I took a terrible shot. Pat had
a non-photo worthy Monte Cristo and I had the daily special which was a
scramble centered around the season’s first chanterelle mushrooms with some
other goodies and I got a barely acceptable shot of it.
Bev’s
and mine were excellent, but since Pat refused to put sweet stuff on hers, I’m
guessing it was only okay.
The
girls came home well coiffed and we finally did a little cooking – grilled pork
steaks and corn for supper. We’d never heard of a
pork steak until introduced to them by friends David and Laurie and they are
basically sliced up pork butt and popular in the St. Louis area. This is Pat relaxing and making sure no one steals the picnic table.
Pork
butt is often cooked a long time until very tender (ala pulled pork) but we
opted to cook them like David showed us – hot and faster (to a 145* internal
temp) giving them the texture more like a loin chop. To
go with them, we grilled some corn that Bev had picked up at a recent farmers
market. It was just shucked, oiled,
grilled and served with butter.
Both
the meat and the corn were cooked just right and it was a delicious meal cooked
under the Oregon pines. As we were
sitting there after dinner sipping our glass of wine, Bev and I had the same thought
– “Now why is it we don’t do this every night?”
Especially since we’ve always considered ourselves to be more campers than
RVers.

Have
a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

Now thats and great looking supper. We love relaxing and cooking at home, not like pork and corn on the BBQ.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a pork steak but want one now! It looks very juicy and the corn perfectly cooked. Happy travels with women that have beautiful hair!
ReplyDeleteLarry, Nice looking little restaurant... As for the pork steaks, they look great and now I wish that I'd thawed out the trio of them that I just bought from Publix! The only difference between what you did and what we do is that we finish them off with a bit of BBQ sauce for a little more char. We do have one little problem though... Our grill is about kaput! We can't get a char on anything. Expensive replacement time. Take Care, Dave & Laurie
ReplyDeleteThe pork & corn look like a tasty meal. Your chanterelle scramble looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely ladies & a great dinner. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteGreat food, the corn looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious. Hubby and I rarely go out to eat much preferring our home cooking.

I've been following right along, just not taking the time to comment. I love to cook on the road. I'm confused about that piece of meat. Did you buy a steak? or is that a roast that's been cut after cooking?
