Rudolph


Rudolph is a social butterfly who greatly enjoys getting out and about. He does, however, also know the value of a good restful weekend, and after looking at his May schedule, packed with galas, weddings and openings, decided that it would be nice to escape to Fawn Lake for a quiet pre-craziness weekend.


Rudolph spent much of the weekend lounging on the back deck, staring out at the lake. He enjoyed the peace and quiet and warm weather, as well as various cocktails and snacks (he said relaxing, not alcohol free or healthy). He happily tested the margaritas, which were being perfected for a Cinco de Mayo party, and noshed on a family favorite, panela cheese marinated overnight with oregano and olive and corn oils (mozzarella works too), and baked until nice and gooey (so good with crusty bread).


The warm weather also provided the perfect excuse (not that he needs one) for indulging in frozen treats. Saturday he stopped by his favorite Dairy Queen where he had his usual peanut butter sundae, and stared longingly at the DQ cakes. His birthday is only a month away, after all, so he thought he’d drop a not so subtle hint. On Sunday he made the requisite Costco stop; he had numerous things to pick up, but of course it’s really all about the samples (lots of veggie ones this time!) and rather generous servings of frozen yogurt.
