Cooking without electricity

We figured it was about time we did this again or people will think we gave this practice up; when in actuality, it is never far from our minds. We are always trying to come up with something to cook. Monday night was different in two ways--

First, our friends Chuck and Robin called and said they were bringing us over some raspberry plants; little did they know they would be roped into having dinner with us. They brought the most wonderful bacon, thick and lean. We decided to cook a shrimp stir-fry on the Camp Chef---and cook the bacon separate and eat that too!

Second, we used onions from our garden in the stir-fry. They were wonderful! The smell of the onions and the taste were magnificent. For desert, we had Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp baked in a Dutch Oven (with Vanilla Bean ice cream) and the rhubarb was from our garden! It was exciting to eat the fruits of our labors. We had a very fun evening.

It was great to get the raspberries planted too.
