What a fun day! We went to Lockwood to a D.O.G. - better known as a Dutch Oven Gathering. They had a terrific turnout with 76 different dishes cooked in dutch ovens. These are cooked in a very heavy cast iron covered pot with briquettes under and briquettes on top. There were so many different dishes, I don't know where to start - stews, beans, pulled pork, Mexican style orange chicken, chicken tamale casserole, meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, etc. Desserts included yummy cinnamon rolls, apple betty, bread pudding with whipped cream, berry cobbler, chocolate bread pudding with kahlua (I'm getting hungry again just listing these). Anyway, besides unlimited great food, the company was great. The kids were polite and playing together and the adults were friendly and warm. Can't wait for next year! The photos are of a chuck wagon that Robert Healy brought. He served coffee to everyone.
The only negative to the day was a few hours of rain and even it wasn't too bad because we really need more rain. We planted several thousand vegetable transplants this past week and they are all benefitting from it tonight.
So - if you every hear that someone is going to a D.O.G., make sure you go!
