So many stairs! You spotted great details like the spiral and the fish. I remember Ithaca and Moosewood - I think I would have chosen Dad's meal since I'm not a wasabi fan, but that looks like a lot of yummy food! I have the Moosewood cookbook here copyright 1977. I like the handwriting in it.Carrie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07904027116034931818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-27854649541880565112016-08-08T21:04:59.276-04:002016-08-08T21:04:59.276-04:00I too had a collection of Moosewood cookbooks........I too had a collection of Moosewood cookbooks.....all gone when I downsized but I will forever remember the Broccoli Trees in a bed of rice. Of course my kiddos loved it with cheese sprinkled on top. I coaxed many a foster child to eat broccoli with my trees!

The underwater spiral you discovered reminds me of an Andy Goldsworthy miniature work of art. :-) And how fun that you had lunch at Moosewood. I've owned at least three of their cookbooks over the years. Your tacos look especially delicious!

Since they obviously don't serve moose, I guess they have culinary delights made from wood.

However, it was still quite beautiful!!! Nature is always amazing!!! I believe that fish is a Brown Trout.

My mother has remarked several times how dry everything is and how it has hurt the fresh produce. My mother lives in Clayton on the St. Lawrence River in the heart of the Thousand Islands. Our family really enjoyed tent camping in Buttermilk Falls in the summer. Our kids were 5 and 2, they are now 38 and 35! Long time ago, for sure:) The trail along the falls is still worth the climb. The carved rocks and small falls are really neat.John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-44726916144833301702016-08-02T11:11:16.940-04:002016-08-02T11:11:16.940-04:00Love the falls, but man that lunch is way far out ...Love the falls, but man that lunch is way far out of our budget range... gald you two enjoyed it none the lessheyduke50https://www.blogger.com/profile/14927304490275027002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-6510511134080965792016-08-02T10:01:10.000-04:002016-08-02T10:01:10.000-04:00Even though the water is low, the scenery is wonde...Even though the water is low, the scenery is wonderful!

A plow through my cookbooks just now turned up "Chez Panisse", but "Moosewood" is elusive. Isn't that the one with all of the hand drawn illustrations? I recall having "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest", too . . . but which box are they stored in?<br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judie judilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.com
