On Sunday, Eric and Joey, our new friend whose property we are staying on, spent the day driving driving truck with Joey's lowboy trailer. I stayed home and nested, making a batch of "Perfect Cocoa Brownies" from the blog "The Comfort of Cooking" I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder, which is a natural/dutched cocoa blend. They came out chewy, crisp around the edges, and not too sweet. With the addition of walnuts they were just the way I like them! Eric called and asked, as he always does, "What's for dinner?" "Salmon burgers" I replied. "Is there enough for Joey?" "Uhhh, sure, I'll just make more sides." Thus, we had our first dinner guest. Along with the burgers, we had quinoa pilaf, broccoli, and salad. Oh, and brownies...yum!
Monday was all about preparing to move the camper and equipment. I was cooking some turkey chili when Eric's phone rang--it was Joey, reporting on his day. So naturally Eric invited him for dinner. No problem, I make big batches...and we enjoy his company--he's quite a character.
Today we actually got moved, and went to the high school for a dinner auction. Got to meet some locals, who were all super nice, and were served dinner (chicken, short ribs, baked potatoes and coleslaw) by the National Honor Society students. There were something like forty of them from a relatively small school, and interestingly, they were all weight appropriate. Makes me happy.
