Piet's Fabulous Food: Burntside trip part 2

On Thursday Night we rented a Bennington Pontoon for four hours which gave us enough time to visit the whole lake. We saw some really amazing things. Some of the things we saw on the lake were a deer and a foe swimming in the water. This was the first time I have ever seen a swimming deer. I didn't even know that deer could swim. One of the best parts of the ride was going into the north arm of the lake. The north arm was so beautiful. We were the only boat in the area. There were times when we would go about an hour without seeing any other boats. It was hard to imagine that because it was the most beautiful night ever. With a crystal clear lake and the sky without a cloud in sight. We had the timing perfect so that we could be cruising and at the the same time see a gorgeous sunset.
One of the highlights for me was the amazing food in the Dinning Room and at the Lounge. I had some very good dishes. I started off the trip with a Walleye Sandwich. On Wednesday Night I had the Burntside Burger. On Saturday the day we were leaving I had the Walleye and Eggs Breakfast. Every meal I had was amazing. After I had the Burntside Burger I had the pie of the day for dessert. The pie was a Cherry and Peach Pie with Toasted Almond Ice Cream. This pie was one of the best pies I have ever had.
The Walleye Sandwich was pretty simple but the combinations of all of the ingredients made the sandwich heavenly. The sandwich was made with a piece of Walleye sandwiched between a soft and fresh chibatta bread with a roumalade spread. On the side was a leaf of romaine lettuce, a tomato, pickle, and a small serving of homemade french fries. Having this Walleye Sandwich has become a tradition, it is so good that I have to have it.
The Burntside Burger was the best burger I have had in a long time. It was a half pound burger that I ate most of. Dad helped me by eating a third of the burger. The burger was topped with Bacon, Carmelized Onions, and Cheddar Cheese. On the side there was leaf of romaine lettuce, a tomato, pickle, and a small serving of homemade french fries. What made the burger so good was the fact that it was cooked perfectly and that each flavor of each ingredient mixed together made a great bite. For dessert I had the Cherry and Peach Pie with Toasted Almond Ice Cream. The Pie was crazy good with the mix of the fresh cherry's and peaches and then the Toasted Almond Ice Cream that was not too almondie. The combination of a small bite of pie and then a little ice cream on top made that bite amazing. Having that dessert was the cleanup hitter for me.
The Walleye and Eggs have also become a tradition for when we have breakfast in the dinning room right before we leave. The cornmeal crusted Walleye was great. The potatoes that were perfectly seasoned and cooked made a great bite with the Walleye. The perfectly crunchy English Muffin dipped in the over easy egg or raspberry jelly spread on top made a fantastic bite. If you wanted to get fancy you could place a little bit of Walleye on the English Muffin with one dip of egg yolk. If you do this you will not regret the decision.
This years trip to Burntside Lodge was AWESOME. Many memories were made. Less than 24 hours later I am missing the sound of the water, the slight breeze, and the sound of the loons calling. I am so excited for next years trip.
