Sorry all! Camping food is going to be making a few more appearances on my blog before summer draws to a close, but it won't last too much longer. Plus, I made a batch of twenty hour apples last night from Pierre Herme's Desserts, so you can see a glimmer of real food shining at the end of the tunnel.
For now though, while the apples are doing their 10 hour chill, back to camping. We went out again last week to take advantage of the sun's brief weekend long appearance. The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful, but the food wasn't up to my usual standards. Okay, that's not all true. I did manage to get the breakfast part right.
For example this was my scrumptious buttery and crisp ham, cheese, egg and tomato sandwich. It was so good. No it was great. No fantastic. Okay you probably get it. Of course, everything was grilled in my cast iron skillet over the fire in lots of butter. There's probably a lot of ash in there too and I ate it anyway.
The other food I can't take credit for because the baking came from the local Black Diamond Bakery. Sure, I did drive all the way to the bakery and buy it, but still. We had icing drenched apple fritters, sugar laden cinnamon puffs and a creamy honey cake with a candied almond topping. There was also an icing dipped croissant but it didn't survive long. The baking was, as always, wonderful. However, my very favorite Black Diamond Bakery butter horns were all sold out. Bummer, I was looking forward to that.
If you're ever out that way you should stop in to the Bakery for the great lunch. And while your there you should probably buy some of their fresh made bread, and maybe a few bagels, a dozen or so cookies, oh and there's the savory section. Maybe you should just go for yourself and see, and of course taste.
