Anacortes-to-San Juan Islands Ferry

We are excited.  We are happy.  Finally we are back in the beautiful San Juan Islands in our Washington State.  We caught the early morning ferry in Anacortes and arrived at our destination:  Orcas Island — specifically, Doe Bay Resort.

Doe Bay Resort, Orcas Island

We are excited to explore this part of the Island.  As you may recall, last year we were here.  As much as we miss it there, it is nice to explore new grounds and learn new things.  I prepared a simple Italian dinner of gnocchi with oven roasted tomatoes and home made tomato sauce from my garden last year.  Here are some pictures of my home garden where you can see how many tomatoes I had one particular season.  I roasted almost all of them in my oven with garlic and olive oil.  Alongside this dish was sauteed sole in butter.  That’s all.  So simple.  Oh and a little gourmet salt of your choice (we like crunchy Maldon Sea Salt).  The recipe for this dish will follow shortly, but please feel free to email me in the meantime for an email version if you can’t wait :) xoxo

It is very peaceful here.  Could you guess?

I hope that if you ever visit Orcas Island you will visit beautiful Doe Bay Resort.  If you do come, plan on leaving very relaxed.  This is where Heaven meets the Earth.
