Due to renovations to the Caretakers Cabin flooring we are postponing the March 9 and 10 dinners.  We are anticipating April dinners to occur as scheduled, and pursuing other venues that may yeild additional nights to choose from.  All members will have an additional month added to their membership subscriptions! 

Last month’s dinners were well attended and we look forward serving you Uncommonly Good BBQ soon!

The weather is warming and we are very excited for spring and summer meals in the garden.  The updated schedule will be posted soon that expands out through July 2012.

This last weekend we had such fun cooking at the Caretaker’s Cabin in addition to a club member’s home for a private party. Everything on the menu was served, and the some.  We enjoyed great conversations, over red wine and cheesecake, with members and their guests. Danny said the lobster reminded him of ‘Days of yore.’  

Look for the dinner schedule to extend through the summer and additional photos to be posted soon.  Be sure to make reservations early for February dinners to celebrate with your sweetheart the weekend after Valentine’s Day!

We are gearing up for a great weekend at the Caretaker’s Cabin on Fri., Jan 20 and Sat., Jan 21!  Reservations will be accepted through Sunday, Jan 14 so be sure to schedule the date and session (5:30 or 7:30 pm) you prefer.  Be prepared to enjoy Uncommonly Good BBQ Dining off of our simple, but scrumptious menu.  Add a cold brew, a nice glass of wine or a bubbly soda and top it off with great dessert.  You won’t leave hungry!!

As you close-out the holiday season, and usher in the new year, be sure to make plans to join us in January to enjoy mouth watering barbecued Australian Rock Lobster or a succulant mountain of Alaskan King Crab. The menu will soon reflect the pricing for these new items ($42.95 King Crab, $64.95 Medium Lobster Tail, $79.95 Giant Lobster Tail).  For your convenience, you can subscribe to the OMDC home page and receive emails when we post new updates!

We are only half way through our kick-off weekend, and it’s been amazingly wonderful!  Guests were treated to truly Uncommonly Good with Porterhouse and Rib Steaks cooked to perfection to each individual’s taste.  They were quickly devoured, and for those who couldn’t finish it all they have great leftovers for today.  The succulant Seafood Skillets with the Alaskan King Crab, Red Snapper, Cod and Sea Scallops with a plump vegetable medley of Roma Tomatoes, Broccoli, and Onion were a delicious combination that will have folks craving it again and again!  My specialty mushrooms were served with every dinner to everyone’s delight.  Meals were topped off with a choice of delicious cheesecake desserts that come with every meal.  Combined with a variety of beverage choices including beer and wine spirits, as well as laughter, good times, and satisfied appetites, this first night was a great success!  Memberships and dinners will make a great gift for any occasion.  Alaskan King Crab, and Lobster dinners will be added to the menu in January.  I look forward to serving you all Uncommonly Good BBQ and hope to see you soon!
