Ask not what Father can do for you. Ask what you can do for Father. Press Play. Scratch. Happy Fathers Day.
Lobster Hash, National Lobster Day & Dad
$4 for three 3-ounce Lobster-Potato Hash Cakes. Chock full of live Maine lobster, 3 ounces of it. Deeply delicious, intensely aromatic. A wonderfully satisfying and special meal. Perfect for National Lobster Day. You didn't know? It's tomorrow.
Bighorn Peak. Big Sky. Big day.
Big hike. Bigger views. 360 degrees. 50 miles on a clear day. Tiny you in the middle of something vast. You may be a very small part of it all, but you're definitely part of it. And when you look around, that's awesome.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Pudding Cake
Great Spring fruit flavors infuse this old-fashion, magical dessert trick. Sweet, aromatic strawberries with fresh, tart rhubarb. Rich but amazingly light. Part airy, moist cake. Part silky light pudding. A total mystery how it turns out this Way.
Lemony farro salad. I shoulda told you.
The light and lemony dressing is great with the nutty and kinda rich, high-protein whole grain. Terrific with the slightly bitter salad greens. And all that's made even Better by the slightly salty and deeply flavorful cheese.
Mushroom Tarte Flambé
Beautiful to look at. Even Better to eat. Maybe the best mushroom-onion pizza ever. The crust is light and crisp. The mushrooms are earthy, fragrant, meaty. The onions are sweet, almost caramelized. Required kitchen skills: stirring, slicing.
Balanced Monday: Stand for your thighs
A 2-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to stay on your feet. And to strengthen and tone your outer thighs, too. Your abductor muscles. Mission-critical muscles for your next beach vacation. Especially if you step barefoot onto hot sand and start hopping around on one foot.
Slower Sunday: Right between the legs
You wouldn't necessarily feel completely comfortable walking through here. But how could you not?
Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart. The best.
70 cents per slice. For a light, intensely flavorful but not too sweet dessert. Pretty terrific for breakfast, too. It's what May and June should taste like. Amazing how easily you can make this Better and Cheaper than you can buy it.
Easy Does It. The Walk to Ousel Falls.
The kindest, gentlest hike to a spectacularly scenic destination in Montana. In Big Sky, this is a wonderfully scenic walk on a wide, smooth path. Gentle switchbacks lead you to this beautiful waterfall on the Gallatin River. Less than an hour and two miles roundtrip. Breathe easy.
