Egg Harbor Lodge News

Today our Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears. Our gardener Jerry was picked to do the Crunch Time Catch before the game. The competition gives two players a chance to try and catch a 30 yard punt and if they catch that then a 60 yard punt with a chance to win prizes along with two free tickets to the game. Jerry gets a once in a lifetime chance to be on Lambeau Field AND be on the Jumbotron!  No word on if Jerry caught her punts or not… we hope so!

Here is my recipe for Packer Game Bloody Marys…

 Clamato juice

decent vodka-2 to 3 shots (depending on glass size)

a teaspoon of horseradish

a squeeze of lemon

a couple splashes of Worcestershire

a couple shakes of Tabasco

Use a lemon to moisten the top of a large glass.  Rim the glass with celery salt add the other ingredients garnish with a pickle or pickled asparugus and voila’ a perfect Bloody Mary.

By the way, we bought two more kayaks so our guests at Egg Harbor Lodge with be able to borrow any of our three kayaks. Two of the kayaks are two person.  We are going to leave a truck at Egg Harbor Lodge and we can either drop guests off at the beach or they can take the truck.  The village of Egg Harbor bought an adjoining piece of property next to the beach so guests can park and pull the kayak in on the boat launch.  It is really easy and a ton of fun.  I am also purchasing a new tennis ball machine so guests can hit against the machine which is also a lot of fun.

We went to a Packer game yesterday.  It was excellent.  We were fortunate enough to score a parking pass and got to park at Lambeau Field.  We got there early to tailgate.  Everyone near us was grilling just amazing food… prime rib, chicken, gumbo you name it.  One party had a big table with white linen and chafing dishes… yet another had a whole fajita bar set up  complete with margaritas.  We were satisfied standing around our smokey joe with our pre-cooked Johnsonvilles.  We were so lame we didn’t even have a table. BUT, when it came time for clean-up we came in first place.

Our Joe won his football game Friday night.  Our Sevastopol Pioneers did not have a very good year last year so the win was huge.  Joe is a senior and the quarterback so he was pretty excited.  I was really proud when after the game he came over to the sideline to give me a big hug.
