President’s Weekend marks the annual ski trip we take with friends, the word “ski” used loosely as this is really more a showcase of food and drink.This year’s group was not that big, just two couples and a baby, so we were able to have the luxury of cooking in small batches as opposed to the usual stock pot designed to serve ten or more.
