Got Moose?

You know our trip to Montana had to include a visit to the Moose Drool Factory!!

IMG_8717Blog

Dozens of moose (mooses? meese!?) were there dripping their spit into buckets for us to drink.

IMG_8722Blog

YUM!

IMG_8721Blog

Matt and I enjoyed a delightful flight of 8 of Big Sky Brewing’s beers. I have to say, my favorite was not the Moose Drool – it was the Belgian Brown. The most flavorful, delicious, high alcohol beer with a dumb name!! Why-oh-why wasn’t this named something crazy like “Worm Bait” or “Bear Sweat”!?

After finishing our tasting, we checked into our hotel and then walked to Scotty’s Table for dinner. Of all the people who recommended Missoula restaurants, I think Scotty’s Table came up as the most suggested food restaurant. We are glad because our meal was awesome!!!

IMG_8741Blog

We started with some thyme-salted bread from the neighboring bakery. I loved the thyme flavor in the bread!

IMG_8738Blog

And cheersed my survival of Montana with two AMAZING glasses of red wine!! I got the Green and Red Zin from Napa – best wine I’ve had all year!

IMG_8740Blog

Table-tainment

IMG_8743Blog

We sure miss those bears!!

IMG_8744Blog

Matt ordered an amazing beet + bleu cheese appetizer

IMG_8750Blog

And I started with the Spinach Salad, topped with pears, apples, carrots, honey walnuts (candied = the best part!) and bleu cheese

IMG_8753Blog

My dinner were the appetizer portion Griddle Cakes – seared diver scallop served over a threesome of pancakes: potato, squash and corn with smoked pepper aioli, horshradish crème and jalapeno jam. It was perfection!

IMG_8755Blog

Matt had the Duck – seared with local huckleberry demi glaze over spaetzel with brussels, apples and bacon

IMG_8754Blog

Everything we ate was divine!

IMG_8758Blog

I cannot WAIT to slide into this down comforter!! We both agree that sandwich school wore us out!

    Oh, and I must ask, was “mooses, meeses” comment a Brian Regan reference by chance? He’s my favorite comedian so I had to ask….

    Good night!

    I think its fate that you had the spinach salad… because I just realized that I like spinach now. Haha I’m sure its not fate, I just think its funny because I used to despise all spinach salads (had to have some other greens in there) but last night I ate a whole bowl of spinach without even realizing… wahoo!

      We yes, but ‘opening our store’ involves a million hard tasks we have yet to do – buying equipment, construction, design, hiring staff, and tons more. It will likely be May when we open

    PS. I think you should totally have a blackboard/chalkboard just like the Scotty’s pub has… i always love when places are super creative with their decor on the walls, and I love how you can change it up with a chalkboard. Just a suggestion! Have fun traveling tomorrow!

    Hello!

    I’m a 16-year-old girl from Malaysia. I happened to stumble upon your blog months ago and I’d been reading it all this while! I fell into eating disorder trap back then when I was 15 and used to weigh only 32kg at 160cm! I know!!! Crazy, isn’t it? But thank goodness alright, I stepped out from eating disorder and I currently weigh 40+, which I’ve so many to thank for. By the way, your blog contributed a small (yet so helpful) part of my recovery!

    At Asian countries, we ritually stir-fry our vegetables instead of eating them raw. However, after several persuasions, my family (mum) often put in the effort to include salads in our meals since we find them really healthy and refreshing at the same time.

    Are there any stir-fry combination that you’re especially fond of? 🙂

      January 20, 2011 at 9:04 am

      Hey Jun! Glad things are on the up for you.

      I like as many veggies in my stir-fry as possible, but I think my favorite is broccoli because it soaks up the sauce. And bok choy!

    I love, love, love Missoula. My husband and I visited there in October and went to Big Sky Brewery (loved the unfiltered IPA on tap!) We went to Scotty’s Table too, and I have to agree, that place has wonderful food!

    If you get a chance go to KettleHouse Brewery. It’s kind of like a bar on the inside. The barley wine is STRONG, but I loved it. They serve it to you in a wine glass.

    Enjoy the rest of your stay there! : )
