Hi Martin!
This is Leah, Mike and Asia... We are ready to come back! Unfortunately
it has taken a year to finally find the time to do this, but fortunately it
didn't take two I suppose. :) Anyways, we are looking to come back to New
Camp May 26th which is Friday and leave Monday morning on the 29th. We were
thrilled to see it open... I'm honestly not sure I remember how to go about
all the business stuff, so I thought I'd start with an e-mail. I'm so
excited just e-mailing you about the visit. I'll probably be losing sleep
over it for the next month until we actually get there! Can't wait
obviously. So, yeah, I remember last time we sent you a check for half the
amount I think. Well, let me know if that's right, and anything else we
might need to know. We were also wondering if while we are up there, we can
take a look at like 4 of the other camps that we are interested in for
ourselves, and for a fall visit with my family ,who I know, will just melt
as I did when they see your land. So, anyways, I guess that is it for now.
We will be in touch, and let me know what we need to do next. Thank you
kindly, Leah 585-***-****

To: fucci**@**mail.com

Salade Nicoise
adapted from Joy of Cooking 4/06 

Slice 6 small red new potatoes 1/2 inch thick, simmer 10-15
minutes until not quite done. Drain.

Simmer 1 lb. trimmed green beans 15 mins. until not quite done or
1 lb. whole (not trimmed) asparagus 10-15 mins until not quite done.
Drain.

Carefully add 4 eggs to already simmering water (enough to cover eggs)
and continue simmering 15 min. Crack and remove shells under cold
water, allow eggs to cool.

Vinaigrette Dressing
Measure 1/4 C red wine vinegar, 1T Dijon mustard, 1t white sugar
in mixing bowl. Add in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly,
1/2 C best olive oil.

Open a 6-7 oz. can of best tuna in olive oil and place tuna with oil
in the center of a bed of sliced/shredded iceberg lettuce on flat plate.
Slice eggs in half and arrange eggs, sliced tomatoes and nicoise
olives (shop for them!) around tuna. Drizzle dressing sparingly around
edge of plate (not on tuna).

Arrange green beans/asparagus on second plate, together with cooked
sliced potatoes. Drizzle dressing generously over all. (If possible
cover hot vegetables with dressing in a bowl and let stand an hour or
so. Improves flavor.)

Leah--
Got the photos. Great! Need help though.
The rope photo. Was it the notch on the trail to Rattlesnake?
Or the loooong rope to Ebenezer? I didn't think you got to
Ebenezer.
The lady slipper? Pink orchid. Where was it?
I see photos at Cascade on the road to Placid. Did you
hike the trail up the mountain there?
Send me a note saying what you did while you were here.
And what a great time you had.
It makes the page more fun for people who see it and don't
know you.
Thanks for being my best guests. And for being there at
Patty's Screen House party. Too bad I didn't get any photos
of that.
Martin

Hi Martin!!!
Glad the pics made it to you! I will e-mail you more about the trip as
soon as possible. My computer at home and at work has been down, but I'm at
my brother's now and wanted to get the corn pudding recipe to you. Thank
you so much for all of the wonderful recipes. I can't wait to try them
all. I just hope they come out as good as yours. Okay, so I will write a
follow up e-mail sometime this week, but for now, here's the recipe...
1 stick of softened butter
3/4 cup of milk
2 beaten eggs
1 - 8oz box of corn muffin mix
1 - 15oz. can of whole corn
1 - 15oz. can of creamed corn
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 quart baking dish. Combine all ingredients
and mix well. Smooth butter as much as possible, but it will be a little
lumpy. Pour in dish and bake 45mins or until knife in center comes out
clean. Should be golden brown. Let cool for a bit. It thickens up after
sitting. Enjoy!!
Peace and Love, Leah

Please Rate Our Fourpeaks Website. Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
