Cobblers on on!

Cobblers on on!

After a week that I’d rather not repeat, there’s no other way to get my mind off of things  than to spend a Saturday doing what I like doing.  It wasn’t too relaxing but at least it kept my mind occupied on other things other than work.

Our Boy Scout troop set up a tent at our first annual Founders Day Celebration.  I brought a couple of my Dutch Ovens and made a couple of cobblers and sold them with all the proceeds going back into the troop.  The day started around 5:45am and I think I finally got everything loaded around 5pm.  It made for an extremely long day but I got to see old friends and made several new ones.

We had to set up in a asphalt parking lot in which I had to stand for most of the day. Right now both my feet have swelled and they hurt so I’ve got them propped up.  Even with the pain that I have in my feet and legs I think today was well worth it.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Cookout, Day of Rest, Dutch Oven, Lodge, Lodge Cookware, Pressure Washer, Sunday, Tannehill, Yard Work

After an exhausting day yesterday cooking I had already decided that I would sleep in a bit this morning, and I did.  I woke up with every intention to unload my ovens so that they wouldn’t be riding around in the back of my truck all week.  I do have another cookout this Saturday and there is no way I would allow those ovens to ride in the back of my truck and risk them getting damaged.  After lunch I did eventually get off my rear end and unload the ovens from the truck.

I must have gotten a spark of energy because after I unloaded the truck I retrieved my pressure washer and cleaned not only my side walk but my driveway as well.  That took several tanks of gas and several hours to do.  I’m not exactly sure what got into me.  I was close to being too dark to see anything but I did manage to finish.

I did manage to get some rest today but I also got some stuff done that needed to get done.  My wife want’s to have people over this Saturday to celebrate my daughter’s birthday so I’ve got to get some yard work done this week.  It’s going to be tight but I think I can swing it.

I spent nearly all day in the kitchen starting off with breakfast.  Bacon, eggs, and sausage all cooked in my 10in Lodge skillet.

After breakfast and after I cleaned up the kitchen I began the finishing prep work for the pizza for supper.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Cast Iron, Lodge, Re Seasoning

12039235_1645219349058732_3876860902679582652_n

Last week I put this 14in Lodge cast iron skillet in my electrolysis tank and today I pulled it out, scrubbed it with soap and water, dried it with a towel, coated it with Crisco and put in my gas grill for several hours to start the re seasoning process.  It took most of the afternoon but she’s finally done.

After the skillet cooled down I couldn’t wait to try it out.  It was after 8pm but still I cooked up a pound of bacon.  This skillet is so big that I had to use two eyes on my electric stove.  Bacon is gone now, all eaten up.
