Paramount Ranch and Rösti

This past weekend included more adventures in the form of hiking and cooking!



Hiking: Lisa had heard of a hike at the Paramount Ranch out near Malibu. This is the place where they filmed many movies / TV shows with old western themes since from the ranch you can't see any signs of civilization. While we were there, we walked around the town they currently have set up for filming and also walked through the trails used for the show Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

Cooking: While Lisa was traveling last month, she visited our friends in Switzerland for a few days. As part of her souvenirs she brought back a Swiss cookbook, which we decided to try out for dinner. The recipe we tried was her favorite, Rösti. This is basically a dinner version of hashbrowns, and in our case, cooked with onions, swiss cheese, and mushrooms. This turned out very well, although a little mushier than in Switzerland. I think maybe we will have to try pan-frying both sides of it to help with that next time.
