I admit there has been some great stuff written about us, but this is by far the best written, most exciting, and enjoyable blog post on us to date. It is a treat to see we are exciting the community and people are enjoying us! THANK YOU! I am simply dropping in to say that everyone enjoyed this read... and appreciated it.. deeply. It has been passed around and brought smiles to all. I can say my job is quite enjoyable when I get to read such beaming reports... and in this case like any proper food journalist might! If you or anyone ever has any questions about us, that is why I am here. I am happy to help explore ideas and options of what to do in the valley, listen to any comments or thoughts, and generally just make sure you are happy! So let me know.

I simply wrote the recipe as it was emailed from Chef Lockwood. I'll seek clarification. My first impression at first taste was "Is there any dairy?" It was rich but simple. There really isn't very much cream and butter at all, but it was still very rich. Since there's 2 quarts of stock you make, that alone would require a substantial amount of squash.

I once got butternut squash soup on the ceiling in my youth..... On the squash-- how much are you talking about in pounds? One large b-nut is about 3 pounds....the small ones are 1 pound. Just trying to get my head around how much this would make and how to adjust for the appetites chez moi. Hey Charles-

It is just magnificent including the highly trained staff and of course all of our favorites, Miss Tara, who greets you at the entry. Doesn't she light up the place w/her smile and beauty. I would add that we had the Glacier Lettuce Salad when we ate at the Jory....rather expensive but a treat worth every cent. Very unusual texture. The barmaid was knowledgeable and charming....the entire Allison Inn is charming. Thanks for the recipe, Charles. This is a hidden treasure of Oregon.
