Heston's and the Big Apple- February 29, 2008 What a Leap Day it is--Heston's Lodge has made it to the New York Times! Here is a link to the article that is in today's travel section.Thank you to Greg Breining, TC Worley, and the Times for giving us a memorable day. And because it is February 29, it will make it a whole lot easier for me to remember in the future that it was this day that we made the newspaper in such a large venue. http:travel.nytimes.com20080229travelescapes29gunflint.htmlhttp://hestons.blogspot.com/2008/02/hestons-and-big-apple.html Pizza in the Snow- February 29, 2008 The oven's ready. The crusts are made. The sauces and toppings are set. It's a go....Pizza in the Snow! It's Winter Tracks time, and we're firing up the oven today to bake some pizza. And it's snowing---finally! (Big sigh of relief.) Even though we've had dustings come down regularly for the last several weeks, it still feels like we've been shorted on snowfalls. The flakes today are of the big, fluffy variety. This will add great atmosphere, and a little moisture, to our pizzas.Pizza..http://hestons.blogspot.com/2008/02/pizza-in-snow.html Bird Rescue- February 26, 2008 When we put a new roof on the lodge in 2004, we decided to modify our side porch. As a result, our screened porch on the front of the lodge was impacted. It is no longer totally screened-in, something we intend to remedy. But like so many other projects, we just haven't gotten there yet. We've found that we love the side porch so much, for sitting and drinking our coffee, that we don't even mind being bothered by the bugs.This situation, however, has presented an occasional challenge for birds..http://hestons.blogspot.com/2008/02/bird-rescue.html Lovin' That Cold Weather- February 20, 2008 Here at Heston's, we are really enjoying this cold, cold weather. In fact, we have been keeping a close eye on the thermometer and weather reports, cheering on the extreme lows. This morning at six, it was near twenty below. It may have dropped a bit more by seven a.m., because it often does. But we were already gone.For the last couple of days, Greg has been assisting in the transport of lumber for the rebuilding of the cabins on the north side of Gunflint Lake.
