Meal time has always been a significant part of any social gathering. Sitting down to a meal puts everyone in close proximity, eye to eye. Good conversation is inevitable, after the meat has been devoured.
Meals with the troutslayers have always been amazing; have smoker will travel. I can't imagine a better group of people with which to share some meat.
Well, the camping trip is over. Mother Nature showed us her ugly face
and tried to run us off. She had no idea that we just didn't care. We
brought plenty of wood (no pun intended) and a lot of ingenuity. She
was no match for us on that day. I've heard the expression "If life
gives you lemons, make lemonade". Well, we made a fucking lemon
meringue pie.
This is the first of (hopefully) many posts. As I write this, we are
getting ready to go on our annual fall camping trip. Crisp air, the
beauty of fall, good friends, good food and laughter await us. Life
is good.
