This is my week of serendipity (which is also the word of the week). I decided that I really wanted a Wii, so I went to Best Buy to just see if they had any, they did. So I went to dinner, Chinese, to think about it and my fortune cookie said “There is...

There’s No Place Like Home
It’s the end of this camping trip. I hate the end. The end means loading everything up again. I might have been a little cranky about it all. After loading everything up we hit all the places that we hit in Logan, and added a new one. Aggie Ice Cream, oh so yummy, Gosseners...
“Camp” day 3
It is hard to call it camping went most of the day was spent playing the Wii and seeing “The Dark Knight”. But, it is what it is, right. We started the day with another dip in the waterfall then went to Craig’s house so that Christy could have a hot shower, wimp. The...
Camp, Day 2
After a pretty good nights sleep I woke up with fear and trepidation. The night before my sister-in-law said that she could not wait for my take on a camp breakfast. Well, little did she know I never have had great success with camp breakfast. All of your breakfast meal require fairly precise heat...

Bacon Blue Cheese Dutch Oven Potatoes
I love to take “classic” recipes and add a odd little twist to it. Everyone who has a Dutch Oven has a Potato recipe that calls for bacon, potatoes, and cheese. So here goes my twist. 1/2 pound bacon (render this until crispy there is nothing worse than soggy bacon) 3 lbs potatoes cubed...
Not A Moose To Be Seen
I have a friend from work, well he is retired now, but still a friend. Anyway, he recommended a nice place to visit on the hot summer days. Right by the Solitude ski resort is a little lake called of all things “Silver Lake.” He promised that we would see Moose every time we...
I Hate July Yard Work.
Really, July is for camping, BBQs, and hanging out in the A/C with friends and family. It is not for mowing the lawn, weeding, or any other sort of work outside. However, those are just the activities that have spent this Saturday doing. I am beat. It may be atonement for the Friday that...
