What we eat

Hello all!

Sorry it’s been a little while since I posted last.  A lot of you were asking about the food here.  The food is pretty good (most of the time).  The meals are all made by our dedicated house staff.  I thought though to give you a sampling of the food we eat here that I’d document a couple of days worth of meals.  So here they are. Also, I forgot to include photographs but after every lunch and dinner we get dessert, which is usually fresh fruit or fresh fruit juice, occassionally we get a special dish like the pumpkin and milk (like vanilla pudding) dish which was amazing!

Bon Appetite!
