since my last post was about drinking in Whistler Village, i
thought that i would share my favorite Whistler dish!
as i said in my previous post, we generally cook dinner in the condo.
(Mr D and i typically budget for one dinner out.)
this trip we invited two of our dearest friends with us. they are the parents of Jay's best friend, Ty.
we have remained close family friends since T-ball. since we weren't cooking for 6 or more,
we could swing a few lunches in the village this trip.

the food in Whistler village is wonderful. we found the lunch menus to be quite affordable.
...for instance, i had a wonderful roasted beet and goat cheese salad, with
watercress and arugula for 4.50 Canadian, (which is almost even
with the American dollar now.) you can't eat at McDonalds for 4.50...
...well i suppose from their dollar menu. ick!
every menu that we touched in Whistler had a version of
roasted beet and goat cheese salad. although i only ate it once, i became hooked!

beets will be ready for choosing, roasting and preserving! the health
benefits from beets are amazing, particularly with reference to
keeping the liver healthy. ( i may have reversed the benefits of that beet
salad after my visit to the Belvedere Ice Room.)

ReplyDeleteI love beets. I used to get a veggie plate at a cafeteria that Ted and I would go too. I would get beets, carrots, and green beans. Then I would tell Ted, the more colorful your meal, the healthier it is. :):) I loved Bandstand :) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love beets too!! Some years ago I grew my own in the back yard! May have to try that again someday. The salad looks delicious!! So glad you had such a nice time! Now I'm off to read the posts I've missed from you! As in the DRINKING in Whistler's Village!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately due to an early childhood experience with beets that left me hating them, I cannot share in your enthusiasm about them! HOWEVER, I surely can move to the beat of a good sound, whether it's the Beatles, Motown, Mozart or even some Hip Hop. Oh Lynne, CELEBRATE! Anita
ReplyDeleteThere are two veggies I just won't eat, beets and peas. I bet those dinners are wonderful, though. xo Laura
