Pheasant numbers up, read all about it.

A magazine for South Dakota and the surrounding area, theoutdoorsmen magazine reports that pheasant numbers are up this year. Local pheasant opener is the weekend of Oct. 13th. The following weekend is the opener for 'out of staters'.

To learn more, the 2012 Pheasant Brood Survey Report, complete with comparisons for the different local areas, can be found online at South Dakota Game Fish & Parks website.

Last Picnic of the Summer?

Could it be that Labor Day weekend is here already? Traditionally, the last picnic of the summer, signifying an end of the summer; one last long weekend of fun. Maybe for you it signifies 'laboring', as you begin shutting down the lake house.

Whatever your focus this weekend, we at LAKEVIEW want to remind you that our broasted chicken goes well whether as a sit-down meal in our restaurant lakeviewresortlakepoinsett.com or as a TO GO quiet lunch, or as the main dish at a potluck feeding a hungry bunch just getting off the pontoon.  Purchase it as a dinner (with a choice of potato and soup or salad) or by the piece.  Call for the reasonable prices.

Some have asked about the name. It's not fried chicken, so what is broasting? Broasting combines a special marinating process with high pressure cooking and deep frying to increase the moisture in the chicken. The Broaster company boasts, "Not only does it taste better, but...fewer calories, less fat, lower carbs," and chicken breasts can have as much as 44% more moisture than other cooking methods. Finally they challenge, "You be the judge!"

We ask that you please plan ahead when placing your broasted chicken order.  Your chicken will always be fresh, not cooked ahead and kept warming.  But with fresh comes cooking time that must be taken into account whether ordering, 'in house' or calling ahead for an order 'to go'.

Enjoy these last days of summer and take time to squeeze in an old-fashioned picnic for an unforgettable memory of the summer of 2012.

Reflecting...

Reflecting back to one year ago…August 24, 2011, we re-opened the doors to the freshly renovated, Lake Poinsett’s LAKEVIEW after the flood that forced closing April 15, 2011.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your loyal support throughout this last year and the preceding thirteen years we’ve operated LAKEVIEW Resort at Lake Poinsett.  The crew at LAKEVIEW is here for you and we look forward to serving your needs in the future.

Talkin' about the Weather

Everybody's talking this week about the weather.  Nice rains followed by cooler temperatures.  Makes time spent outside so much more enjoyable.  When the temperatures rise so high its un-'bare'-able to be in the water, that's a sign it's just too HOT! Putting those days behind us, it's time to get moving again fixing up, trimming up, mowing and recreating at the lake.  Enjoy these precious days we have left of summer. At LAKEVIEW, we'll be looking out for you...

Recipe Search

Grilled Oriental Shark Steaks

Have you ever noticed on the left side of this blog page, the Recipe Search box? Well try it. Recently a friend shared Shark steaks with us. Having never cooked Shark (or in my case-eaten Shark).  So I tried it.  How cool! I typed in shark, clicked on 'Cook' and up pops all these ingredient options.  I picked mustard as one of the ingredients and was given choices of  Shark recipes with mustard listed. I picked 'Oriental Shark Steaks' and just followed the directions.  We put it in foil on the grill. And wella!!

Longing for Yesterday's Lazy Days of Summer?

Today, the official second day of summer, begs the question: does anybody ever have lazy days in summer, anymore? Crazy yes, lazy seldom. With reunions, weddings, and events every weekend squeezed in around fishing, swimming, camping, picnics, golfing, ball games, and vacations...Scheduling all this fun around a job and family obligations can make anyone feel crazy. Does all of this make you long just a little for a little of yesterday?

Well, this weekend, we at LAKEVIEW are proposing you enjoy our more quiet welcome to summer. A nice dinner (Saturday night Specials include: Prime Rib, Country-Style Pork Ribs, and Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, complemented by the salad bar) followed by a karaoke party without all the 'noise'. A step back to a simpler time when couples and singles met at the local night spot to relax, and visit while enjoying a delicious meal with adult beverages, followed by quality entertainment and music for dancing.

Bob's in the process of improving and updating his karaoke equipment and is ready to 'run the show' this Saturday night.  Leading off, a performer from our area will do a live Elvis tribute to set the mood for the evening. It will be fun for all. See you then!

Thank you, thank you very much.
