Campfire Cooking
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, September 04, 2008 8:36 AM
Around here, fire is some seriously popular stuff.
It was such a rainy summer that we didn’t manage to have much campfire fun the past couple of months. With the arrival of cooler weather, though, we’re making up for lost time.
Fire! It’s pretty, it’s warm, it’s free, and you can cook stuff in it. Nothing beats gathering around a fire pit for an evening of marshmallow roasting and s’more making.
Some observations:
1. If you should happen to get some gooey marshmallow in your hair, on your skin, or on your clothing, it all comes out with hot water soaking. If you’d rather not head indoors and miss all the fun, though, you can just coat the mess with enough dirt to stop the stickiness. Your mother will appreciate your helping in this way.
2. No matter how many times a grown up says, “No more throwing stuff in the fire!” kids will “forget.” They don’t mean to. You can’t get mad. It’s just so very easy to forget to not throw sticks and leaves and clumps of grass into a big ole fire.
3. A food mess outdoors means a food mess that is not in my kitchen. I am totally adding Campfire Cooking
4. Nothing beats putting kids to bed, exhausted, happy, and full, and then returning to the campfire with a glass of wine and your husband.
Life is good. God is good.
