Saturday night and all is well. Today has been a totally relaxing day. We slept late and then Betsy treated us to a cast iron breakfast—maple bacon, and the fixings to do cheese stuffed roasted green chilies, eggs, and toast. I took advantage of all of it and it was great. Even bettered my camp breakfast since it was cast iron and butter…it’s kind of like charcoal—don’t like the weight or curing/don’t like the lighting and slower timing—but there is something to be said about the taste. Just not practical on a common basis, with our busy lifestyle. That’s ok—we don’t seem to suffer…but it was a treat.
Yuliya just did yet another daily basil pesto making experience. And the most bizarre part is that she is almost eating it as fast as she can make it. And we are talking at least 15 bushy plants to clean—over a bushel of leaves. I think we are on 4 days of her doing it and she is now looking almost green. We’ve decided she’s the green martian and we are really in Roswell….She just eats it by the fork full at meals. I’m thinking she will start to smell like garlic about the time she moves back in the trailer—joy. We are just thinking it’s a phase. Or at least hoping…
Tom and I started to work on our recipe page—you’ll probably have to take notes from reading it but we are trying to put it down. Just remember—when we mention a spice we usually put a reasonable coat over the entire dish—we’re more liberal but use little salt. Don’t be afraid of spice—especially the blends we usually use.
We had leftovers tonight after a day in the casino town that Stacy & I had another negative gambling experience—we are now only $90 ahead—but at least ahead!
Then we hit the grocery for Tom’s supplies to wow us with BBQ tomorrow and we headed home. After lots of relaxing we took the borrowed horse back home—our truck is the one to use on any of these towing experiences—it’s being lusted after. We hopefully will go on a short ride tomorrow and then just get organized to head out on Monday. Our trailer could use a clean/organization moment since we have only been using it as a sleeping place.
We just had leftovers tonight but will probably have a couple of recipes extra for the trying—If there is anyone more of a story teller than me—it’s Tom—he could actually beat me hands down—and he has the cowboy hat to fit the role…He’d be the perfect one to read my future book.
We also got a good priceline deal for them for their December Columbus, OH show. They were thinking about driving their little RV-- but I got 5 days for them at a Baymont Inn for $214. Can’t really beat it, especially at that time of year—it can be cold! And we are hoping Tom will stop by for a couple of days as he drives back and forth in the van to help Betsy do those shows--and do what he does best—be a handyman! He’s amazing on his scope and we will do our best to use him to his fullest for a couple of days—he already knows we feed well…At least that is what we have planned for them!
Stacy has been busy with making her really cool bracelets and ankle bracelets. She gives them away to everyone--even though she sold one at an art fair for $50. Guess it’s just what we tend to do…I just cook, talk, and be me...
