Merry Xmas!

I just want to wish everyone a merry christmas!

new website!

Sweet!!!!  We have updated and expanded our website with new pics, current menus and philosophy and of course my profile page….haha.  Pretty exciting times.

eggnog? really?

What’s the deal with eggnog?  Why do people like it so much?  I think it’s disgusting.  First of all, it’s made with milk which is a drink for baby cows and second it has raw egg in it…that’s just weird.  Now what a way to ruin a good alcoholic beverage!  Why not just have that bourbon or rum with a coffee or tea; hot toddy style, or have that brandy in a snifter?  Apparently Barrie makes a really good one here at the resto but it’s definitely not for me.

Neige – that’s French for snow

It’s here!  The skihill is open, the powder runs are epic, and the days of ski, work, play, sleep, repeat are among us.  I think over the summer I had forgotten how much fun can be had on a snowboard.  I just have to make sure my kitchen crew has enough energy to blow peoples minds over the busy holidays.  That’s the best part about riding every day; exercise=energy so it usually works out.

 

back on track

I’m back!  Mexico was great!  My tan has instantly faded!  The piles of snow that seem to be endlessly falling from the sky are amazing!  The stoke that everyone seams to have for winter is even better! (and that’s not even just the Fernie newbies).

Announcement:!!!!: Barrie Elliott is my new Sous Chef @ Picnic!  She has just returned from finishing her 3rd and final year of here apprenticeship and will be challenging here new skills as my #1 chef.

Things seem to be rolling pretty fast around here.  I am playing a little catch-up for a couple days but with optimistic views on everything.  A couple new menu items, a couple new staff, a couple new ideas……here we go!
