Breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge in Teton Village

On the first morning of our Wyoming vacation we ate at the breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge. This was a complimentary breakfast as a result of Hotwire selling us a room reservation at Alpenhof Lodge when they did not actually have any vacancies. You can read more about that part of the trip by clicking here.

The breakfast buffet was very good. Had it come at the end of our Wyoming vacation rather than at the beginning, I would have considered it to be fantastic. Most of our breakfasts in Yellowstone and Grand Teton were disappointing, but the breakfast buffet at Alpenhof Lodge was impressive in terms of quality. While it seemed small at the time, it turned out to be large by comparison and exceptional in terms of quality when compared to the restaurants in the national parks.

The best part of the buffet was the real eggs used in making the scrambled eggs. Most breakfast locations we visited used the egg-ish mix that some restaurants buy in big cartons, which generally make either a runny mess or a dry crumble depending on the amount of water mixed into it. At Aloenhof, the texture of the scrambled eggs on the buffet indicated that these were real eggs that someone had cracked open that morning.

Coffee was brought to our table and our daughter was given a cup of hot chocolate that looked really good. Our son opted for apple juice, which he then poured into a coffee cup to pretend he was having coffee.

Along with the great eggs, the breakfast buffet included bacon, sausage links, a plate of various cheeses, dry cereal, fruit bowls, yogurt, bread and pastries, and good coffee. If you are staying at the Alpenhof Lodge, there is no reason to go anywhere else for a good breakfast. I do not know know the price since ours was complimentary, but it was one of the best breakfasts of our trip.

There are more dangerous things going on in cars than talking or texting on cell phones

Image via Wikipedia One of the latest trends in the criminalization of normal conduct is the enactment of laws banning the use of cell phones and/or texting while driving a car. Despite the plethora of laws already in existence to regulate the minutia of citizen conduct, many lawmakers as well as Oprah Winfrey have decided […]

Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act is not necessarily simple or fair.

Image by blmurch via Flickr A new tax bill has been introduced which proposes an odd mix of changes to the tax code while legalizing some things and escalating the criminality of others. The so-called Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2010 (S. 3018) has been introduced by Senator Wyden (D-Oregon) and co-sponsored by […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 8 – Signal Mountain Lodge, Colter Bay Village, Ranchhouse Restaurant, Jackson Lake, Donoho Point, Elk Island

After a night of deep sleep at Signal Mountain Lodge, I awoke early and enjoyed the quiet of the morning. While it is fairly easy to hear through the walls, everyone was either sleeping or trying to be polite. I went to get coffee from the barista at their general store, which was about the […]

Study of most dangerous drivers by profession says lawyers are worst drivers in America

Image via Wikipedia A new study released by Insurance.com reported the ten most dangerous drivers by profession. In what is either proof of Karma or of a scam by the insurance industry to screw over lawyers on their car insurance rates, the study ranked lawyers #1 as the profession most likely to be in an […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 9 – Signal Mountain Lodge, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson Square, Moos, and the Snow King Resort

I woke up just before 5:00 a.m. and watched the sun rise from our cabin window. They do sunrises and sunsets very well at the Signal Mountain Lodge. The morning sky was cloudy, which made the sky look all the more impressive. We cooked breakfast in our room again, taking advantage of the last time […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, Mammoth Springs Dining Room, Albright Visitor’s Center, and Stops on the Way to Signal Mountain Lodge

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]

Open-carry, Brady campaign, Starbucks, and the gun rights debates at Dunkin Donuts

Image via Wikipedia The debate among the open-carry gun rights advocates, Brady campaign supporters, and lovers of Starbucks coffee spilled over onto my Facebook page this morning after an innocent status update about Dunkin’ Donuts. It became so entertaining I decided it could be converted into a blog post. How’s that for harvesting the internet […]

Wyoming Vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

Last year (2016) we took a family vacation to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I meant to post information about the trip online a long time ago, but I’ve been very busy with other matters that kept me away from this website. While I plan to continue writing on […]

If you are the publisher of a writing publication we have not listed or if you know of something we […]

Clickbait Headlines to Refuse to Click – Stop Reading Garbage Articles on the Internet

Clickbait headlines are getting worse and worse by the day, yet people seem so conditioned into clicking onto garbage articles on the internet that they read the stories anyway. There is a wide array of stories that I simply refuse to read because the headlines follow the same pattern and use the same traps to […]
