Camp Fire, Hot Dogs, and Pies


Everyone’s time in the desert is winding down, so everyone is trying to use up their firewood.  Glen and Jan invited everyone over Tuesday evening for a camp fire, which Glen really knows how to have a bon-fire!  Sorry no fire picture :(

Don't you think that stack can make a pretty mean fire?
While sitting around the fire; George mentioned he needed to have a fire to use up his wood before leaving too.  Quickly it turned into a hot dog roast, Jan had homemade chili, so now we have chili dogs, and then Deb mention coconut pie… you guessed it…. desert was covered too.  So now we just needed to wait for Saturday evening to get here.

Saturday became a very busy day for Deb, as she was in the kitchen all day.  After our three mile walk; it was time to get busy - Deb started the coconut pie, while trying to cook breakfast at the same time.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t such a good ideal, so breakfast got put on hold until the pie was cooked.  

While eating (standing up), she had started on the chocolate pie – guess she didn’t learn her lesson from the previous pie. You just cannot do both at the same time, as pies take your undivided attention!  And eggs just really don’t taste too good cold!!

Finally, both pies were completed – but that wasn’t enough… she then decided to make some more lemonade syrup.

Sorry, nothing left to share - LOL
Shortly after the cooking was done, we got a call from another one of your new friends – Ed. They (Ed and his dog Paco) want to come by for a visit, as they were heading back to Vermont the next day.  

We have meet some great people in the desert this year and looking forward to seeing them again in about 7 months.

Question for ya: What’s your favorite dessert?
     ~Ours: Jerry - Chocolate pie / Deb - German chocolate cake

Guess Max had a hard day too!


Cheers, hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and many blessings!

  5. I like a strawberry-rhubarb pie, easy on the crust heavy on the fruit, but my favorite has got to be chocolate cake with a ganache frosting. Wayne likes coconut cream, boston cream and chocolate cream pies. Notice a theme there? Luckily we don't bake any of these ourselves except the rhubarb and that's only one pie a year when the rhubarb comes in. If we ate that stuff all the time we'd be broke from buying new pants to fit into! Those pies look beautiful, by the way!

    1. Wow, that strawberry-rhubarb pie sounds delicious! Now to find rhubarb? Wayne and Jerry have the same common pattern, guess you can't go wrong with cream pies. Thanks for sharing your favorite desserts, maybe someday I can bake one for you guys! Happy Spring!! =))
