A Secret Ingredient That Makes This Avocado Toast A Delicacy

This isn’t guacamole, nor is it spicy… it’s breakfast simplicity beginning with a fresh ripe avocado, a few cherry tomatoes, salt & pepper, and drizzled small batch Italian olive oil on a Vermont English Muffin. Our olive oil comes from Dancing Ewe Farm just up the road from Pond Mountain Inn.

Fairly ordinary thus far…. one small addition that makes all the difference in the world – truffle salt! Truffle salt transforms this otherwise ordinary Avocado Toast breakfast dish into a delicacy. Wildly delicious and healthy, and it’s been almost six hours since breakfast and I’m only now feeling a touch hungry – I just may make it to dinner!

Wildlife In Vermont – Wild Turkeys

Down the road from Pond Mountain Inn, we spotted a group of wild turkeys while out for a chilly winter walk. Wild Turkeys in a group is called a flock , whereas a group of domesticated turkeys are known as a rafter or gang. The wild turkeys live and travel together primarily on foot, occasionally taking short flights to escape predators. Their long legs are strong enough to enable them to run 25 miles per hour. and they can fly at 30 to 35 miles per hour!
