Back on the Farm

Well, we enjoyed it so much we escaped back to the farm for 2 days! It seems the only way to get away from work is to "get away". We spent 2 days hiding out on the farm, this time more equipped for camping and cooking. We've expanded our fleet and now along with Elijah, we have Cook-E the camping stove. We had a wonderful dinner of buffalo burgers, couscous and s'mores; followed by the "All American" breakfast of bacon, eggs & pancakes! The kids commented that good thing we weren't staying on a pig farm as the pigs might get worried at the smell of bacon!

We were able to introduce the 1st generation farmers with s'mores (w/ an international flare of course). After inspecting them for awhile and then watching as we showed them how to eat it, they took the first bite with some hesitation. Moments later we noticed the marshmallow stringing from Opa's chin, and guessed it was well liked. After eating their second s'more they disappeared....we wondered if we had sent them into a diabetic coma with all the sugar. Did I mention these weren't your ordinary s'mores, these were based on spanish cookies (Maria Cookies), covered with Nutella and then topped with an ever so light browned ooey, gooey marshmallow; a must try!

Sorry there are no pictures, not sure what happened to them. Until next time!
