Seasons’ Eatings 2023-2024
We are tickled to announce yet another opportunity to hopefully be of service to you and create a Jerome home-away-from-home. During seven holidays, many eateries and shops in Jerome are closed which has the potential of leaving our guests stranded without dindin or having to scramble back out and down to the valley (if not further) to find a meal. What if you could behave as if you are at home with family and friends – just eat, drink, nosh and relax but withOUT any of the stress? On those holidays we offer a beautiful array of dining choices right here, leisurely, and unhurried. Nothing ordinary or toooooooooo traditional of offerings here of course but we promise a delicious addition to your holiday stay with us AND no dashing about or clean-up on your part! For the three summer holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July & Labor Day), look forward to fun outdoor grill-out picnic fare and beverages complete with tiki torches, beach umbrellas, badminton, croquet, ice cream (maybe smores) and campfire! All the fun summer happenings will be here for you in the backdrop of our gardens.
Seasons’ Eatings gatherings typically begin with snackies at 4 pm and dindin closer to 5-5:30 pm. $80 per person (by reservation only and paid for at time of booking.)
If you are here on one of those days, we hope you will consider joining us.

Memorial Day 2024
For the Seasons’ Eatings dinner in honour of all those who have served and continue to serve us, we pulled out all the stops in terms of fun, good eats, and reverence on this last Memorial Day. The menu evolved in an instant conversation with Capt. Allen, Alysa, and me to be a blow-out Mexican extravaganza.
We surprised ourselves actually and the more we got into it, the more fun fun fun prevailed. Appies began around 4 pm filtering from the dining room into the garden on a picture-perfect day. We rounded out the relaxed tummy-stuffing with everyone agreeing that the homemade sopapillas topped with our honey butter, powdered sugar and cinnamon & sugar took first prize! This could be a barefooted YOU at our next soiree – think about it . . .

Easter 2024
Do you happen to know why easter flies all over the calendar? The Council of the Essenes proclaimed that it was divinely-guided that the proper date to celebrate Easter would be the First Sunday AFTER the First Full moon AFTER the Spring Equinox. Pretty curious how pagan that sounds but it is surely supported by the seasonal and elemental change.
Here at The Surgeon’s House it was My Coconut Island in the Sky as we were completely socked-in and hunkered down. The appearance of a double rainbow just as we began to eat added to the overall magical atmosphere. Consider joining us next year!

Christmas 2023
I believe SUBLIME says it best for 12/25/23 on my Coconut Island in the Sky.
Calm reigned supreme with elucidating conversation, sumptuous food and drink, and overall community of gratitude and fun forging new and REnewed connections and friendships. I would wish that you might join us and add to it next holiday season. The notion afoot for 2024 is the venerable “Chinese and a movie. . .?” Are you curious?

Christmas Eve 2023
While we weren’t all ‘nestled in’ we surely were hunkered down for the night with the return of the Billings family including Grama and Grandpa this year. Santa’s elves left a little pre-cheer in the form of an old English tradition of pullaparts that yielded bells and knockers for a xylophone – who could know that one of our other guests, Doug and Meghan Green, were bells and xylophone people!! Great soups and other comfort food led to a dreamy night of awaiting hoof steps on the roof.
You could hear them next year you know. . .

Thanksgiving 2023
In my heart, life, and business at The Surgeon’s House aka My Coconut Island in the Sky, EVERY day begins with thanksgiving and a huge side order of gratitude and faith. For our 2023 Gobble Day gathering a few regulars joined us as well as some newly-found friends and visitors. Our typically UNusual fare this Gobble Day was accompanied by a handful of new offerings, the king of which was our Poor Man’s Pâté with a close second of My Little Pumpkin Seeding – our pumpkin cheesecake with cognac. And you won’t believe it but a tip of the hat to the traditional with our Ginger, Soy & Orange Turkey, and Sage Dressing.
Our Gobble Day menu was a creative challenge as our gesture to the contribution the food bank makes the opportunity to good eating. With the exception of the meat items, a couple of seasonings and condiments (all homemade with some food bank ingredients) virtually each offering was 99% food bank merchandise! Just a testimony to what a little resourcefulness can glean. Delicious, nutritious, and fun – thanks food bank.
Think of joining us next year, won’t you?

Labor Day 2023
We celebrate commitment to staying fluidly in the MIX OF LIFE and community. Giving back with the gifts that each of us has been given creates community. We dance with great gratitude and responsibility to that opportunity on Labor Day – Give us a chance to celebrate with you.
4th of July 2023
Yes – it is early July which means summer is at its zenith but what better of an excuse to grill out, hang out, nosh and imbibe, hang in the garden and eat picnic food?! Maybe bat the shuttlecock or aim for the croquet wickets? The 4th of July was the PERFECT opportunity! We RELAXED! We LAUGHED, ATE, PLAYED & DRANK. What a pluperfect afternoon and evening . . .
Please know that one of the most special aspects of the Seasons’ Eatings dinners and picnics is that the hostess, ME, actually gets to spend personal time with our participants – huge grace and blessing for me.
YOU could be here with us in 2024 ya’ know.
