	Many guests have come to memorize our menu over the years. We have developed and maintained a weekly format because it has proven to be a hit with both old and young alike. Detailed recipes can be found in Treasure Trove. We are also happy to cook for your special need: Kosher, low fat, low cholesterol, low salt, low sugar, allergies; any dietary need is an invited culinary challenge.


	The following is our typical weekly menu (subject to modification based on seasonality, and the Cook’s descretion). All meals are “all you can eat!” - After all, You’re on vacation!

Every Night....The Salad Bed - This is our antique hand carved youth bed which sits in the dining room of the lodge. It is over 100 years old and belonged to the woman who raised me as our beloved housekeeper, Vera Ham. She is the one person to whom I attribute my culinary skills - I learned at her knee. Our daughter Courtney slept in this bed until she was five - At that time, Mrs. Ham was still with us, baking apple pies for Oak Cove guests at the age of 85. We have since made this bed into a salad bar from which you may build your own salad from as many as 18 fresh ingredients. We also make our own salad dressings which are served from an old Singer sewing machine cabinet at the foot of the bed.

Ingredients: Head lettuce, and special lettuces mixed-in including variety lettuces, and hydroponic leaves (such as oak, escarole, endive, dandelion, etc. grown in water with no soil). Diced ingredients: Carrots, celery, onions, green onions, cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes, green peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, red cabbage, garbonza beans, olives, cooked peas, sunflower seeds, bacon bits, raisins, croutons, grated cheddar cheese, hard boiled eggs, sprouts, four dressings, plus olive oil and wine vinegar.

Luncheon Salad Bar - An assortment of luncheon salads are put out on the luncheon salad bed. We often include many of the following: *Tuna salad, *Chicken salad, Mixed tossed salad, Three bean salad, *Cole slaw, several varieties, *carrot/raisin salad, Jello molds, diet jello, puddings, maroni salad - several varieties, spaghetti salad, rice salad, several varieties, fruit salad, *Artichoke/hearts of palm salad, *Cucumber salad, *Pickled beets, *Waldorf salad, Egg salad, *Marshmallow/Mandarin salad, *Heavenly hash, *Broccoli salad, Potato chips, Peanut butter and jelly, sandwich bread.

For Sunday dinner, we serve a larger meal than our regular lunch. Continuing in the old tradition of sitting down to the family dinner after attending church, we make the dinner a little more formal than the other noon meals. We have the full dinner salad bar and four of our homemade dressings.

The Sunday evening meal is an old time cookout with a bon fire under the Oak trees next to the beach. Though the side dishes are prepared ahead of time, each guest cooks his or her own hot dogs or Polish sausage. The Sunday cookout is a nice opportunity for the guests to enjoy an American tradition and an occasion for all of us to get to know each other better.
