The Bobcat InnYour Rural Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast
Happy Holidays!
The inn is all decorated for Christmas and it is a cold snowy day. It would be a great day to make bizcochitos,a wonderful New Mexican cookie dating back from territorial days. I am including the recipe if any of you want to make them. It is one of the only recipes I use lard in and it does make a difference.
Our cookbooks make great Christmas presents as well as gift certificates to the inn. You can buy a gift certificate online through our reservation system and you can print it off. We still have availability for Christmas and New years so don't wait to make your reservation. We are filling up fast. Christmas is a magical time in Santa Fe. The farolito walk is on Christmas eve and is beautiful. The historic east side residents and galleries light candles in paper bags filled with sand and build small fires for carolers to warm up by. There is hot cider and if there is snow it is even more special. The Plaza is all lit up and the Cathedral welcomes everyone.
Bizcochitos
1 cup lard
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon anise seed
3 Tablespoons sherry
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Cream lard and 1/2 c sugar till quite creamy. Add egg and beat till very fluffy. Sift together flour ,baking powder and salt and add to creamed mixture and combine. Stir in sherry and anise seed. Roll dough out onto floured board about 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes with cookie cutter. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon and sprinkle on top of each cookie. Bake in a pre- heated oven at 350 for 15 -20 minutes or until light brown. Makes 4 dozen small cookies.

Enchanted City Santa Fe New Mexico
This is a beautiful poem written about Santa Fe by an unknown author. Enjoy!!
Enchanted City
We sat by the fire, my friend and I,
And talked of Santa Fe.
She asked me what I'd miss the most
if ever I went away.
Then I thought of May when the acequias flow,
And the lilacs bloom like mad,
When the robins sing in our apple tree:
"Spring is here ,be glad!
I thought of chile and pinon wood,
And my friends of many a day,
of hollyhocks reaching to turquoise skies,
And the bells of Cristo Rey.
Of burros and 'dobes and fiesta so gay,
The majestic cathedral for a moment to pray
Of the breathless sight when the aspens change
In the beautiful Sangre de Cristo range.
Of snow softly falling on Chreistmas Eve,
Luminarias lighting the way
To welcome the Christ child once again,
When He is born on Christmas Day-
It is hard to say what I'd miss the most
If I ever went away,
But I hope and pray with all my heart
I can remain in Santa Fe...

Spring Skiing Santa Fe New Mexico
Some of the best spring skiing can be found right here in Santa Fe New Mexico. In our last storm on March 14 the Santa Fe ski area reported 15 inches of new snow. I can also report that the skiing is excellent. I skied Santa Fe on Tuesday March 16 and found some incredible powder!! Double Eagle Oh My God!!
If you are reading this and are going this week I would definitely ski off of the triple and millennium lifts. You won't have as long of lift lines and the powder is still there. They have had some warm days after all it is St Patricks Day today. It is hard to believe that we were in a blizzard Sunday night and today it is 60 degrees. I am sure it is more like 45 at the ski basin.
Ski Santa Fe plans to close after April 11th, as long as the snow holds out and we are expecting another storm next week. Check out their web camera!

Fall Colors and Galisteo 22nd Annual Studio Tour - 2009
It was so much fun taking a country drive and heading to the small village of Galisteo last weekend. The weather unlike today was gorgeous. This morning it snowed and then turned very cold and damp. The cottonwood trees were at their peak of changing to gold. The art in this small village is incredible. There were 36 artist showing their work and there was all different mediums of art. I bought a retablo of San Pasqual from artist, Catherine Ferguson. I have it hanging in the kitchen at The Bobcat Inn. This artist had even painted her propane tank with ravens and a dark New Mexico blue sky background. Another well known artist , Priscilla Hoback had murals, monotypes and pottery sculptures. There are several other art studio tours happening this fall. La Cienega hosts theirs after Thanksgiving and Dixon will host theirs on November 7 & 8th. It is a great way to meet the artist and contribute to your local economy while getting some fresh air.
