The movie, “What About Bob” has been a family favorite for years…and it is supposed to take place at Lake Winnipesaukee.

When the Krehers asked us to join them on vacation there, we were excited to be with them and see this gorgeous area.
One night, as an appetizer, I made
Three Cheese, Prosciutto and Asparagus Pizza
When I was 16 years old, I worked as the cashier in a
pizza restaurant. I watched the owner throw the pizza dough like this.
Recipe: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
One package store bought refrigerated fresh dough
(rolled out…or try tossing it…it’s fun)
Sprinkle with a half cup each:
Havarti, mozzarella, parmesan
Layer with prosciutto and asparagus
Sprinkle with one tsp. herbs de Provence
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden
We had appetizers on the balcony.
And dinner in the dining room with lake views.
Mark and Howard, cooked a lobster feast on another night.
Mercedes made watermelon infused vodka for
refreshing martinis.
We spread out newspapers, paper plates and paper towels
and ate dinner on the screened porch.
Those were all Eric’s great photos!
These are mine using my pocket camera. This
is the house where we stayed…sleeps 15 comfortably.
We didn’t just eat…we did some hiking
(and actually didn’t get too wet)…
and boating.
Thank you, Cathi and Eric for a fun time!!!

Wait, are you sure this was not a 5-star resort? Looks amazing. And fun. Best of all is you throwing that pizza, and then everyone enjoying it on that incredible deck. Good times, indeed.

You are such a cutie Mary Ann! And who knew that you were keeping those pizza throwing skills from us? What a fun trip!

I have never been to Lake Winnepasaukee but have a friend who has a place there. New England has the most beautiful lakes! That pizza sounds great…will have to try over the 4th!!
Gail Storti says
WOW….what an amazing vacation you had! And I loved seeing you in some of the pictures too…especially the one of you tossing the pizza dough! I'm SO impressed! "What About Bob" is one funny movie and a fav of ours too! But it looks like you managed to have a more relaxed and "civilized" time on the lake! Such a beautiful place…and that house…."GORRRGEOUS"!!
Just a bit of heaven on earth !

One of my favorite places on earth. Looks like you had a wonderful time with your friends – what a beautiful spot!! What part of the lake were you on? We are lucky to have friends and family in Alton Bay, Tuftonboro and Meredith and go as frequently as possible in the summer.
Good pizza, fine wine, great friends, fantastic locale….what more could you ask for!

Okay, that looks like the best vacation! All the food and drinks look delicious too, pizza especially.
