Stony Ridge in Ely

Well, what can I say? It's been a busy summer and I have neglected my blog. So I'm sitting here very sorry and determined to make it up to the few readers I have left!

Kevin, Miss Chocoholic and I just got back from a week in Ely. One of the things that made that week special was the first weekend we were up there, our friends Chris and Abby shared a nice, long weekend with us. That is them on the first picture. Aren't they cute? They just got engaged! One of the things I love about them is that they are both so passionate about everything and they love food, wine and good coffee. So we went to a little resort cafe in Ely called Stony Ridge where they are famous for their mammoth stuffed hashbrowns. Here is their website: http://www.stonyridgeresort.com After a cup of Gene Hick's coffee, (Kevin's favorite, if you need an idea for a gift for him) we turned our attention to cleaning our plates like our mothers taught us.You know I love Vertin's stuffed hashbrowns and they are still the best in my opinion but only because it is like comparing an evening with a campfire and a bottle of wine to going to a Broadway play. The Broadway play is absolutely wonderful but you can't do that every night. But you can sure drink a bottle of wine around the campfire a couple of nights a week!This was my Broadway play and I finished everything except the toast. The menu item is actually called Killer Browns. It was delicious! Kevin and Abby opted for omelets and while they looked scrumptious, you just can't compare them to Killer Browns.This cafe is very quaint and homey. It does get busy sometimes so go early if you can. The breakfast is the best anyway!You can share your meal with the mosquitos on a nice day if you want and enjoy a view of the lake. Check this cafe in Ely out, you will be glad you did!
