I need you, bloggy friends! I need your ideas, and I need your good wishes.<\/p>\n
First, your ideas: we are going camping this weekend. It’s our second annual<\/a> free camping <\/a>weekend, and this year my brother, sister-in-law, 18 month old nephew, and the four of us will be joined by my mother and father – all in a one-bedroom cottage. One of those adventures that you just know<\/em> we’ll be talking about for years, whether with affection or rolling eyes.<\/p>\n The weather forecast is not so good. Probability of rain varies from 80% to 60% to 100% over the three days we’ll be there. Yikes! (If we are ever having a drought of biblical proportions, just let me know and I’ll go camping. I don’t think I’ve gone camping once in the past 10 years that it hasn’t rained. The smell of rain in the morning invariably reminds me of camping.)<\/p>\n But what I really need, my bloggy friends, is ideas on what to eat. I’m not much of a camping person (thus the whole ‘camping in a cabin’ thing) and you know I’m not much of a cook. So besides the de riguer<\/em> hot-dogs burnt on an open flame, can you give me any easy to buy for, store, prepare and clean-up-after camping food ideas? Elsewise we’re going to be eating a lot of Fritos this weekend, with maybe some apples thrown in for balance. And, of course, enough marshmallows that it will be another full year before I can even consider looking at them, let along eating them, again. And yes Marla, I did google camp recipes, but last time I tried a recipe off the Internet we ended up ordering pizza for dinner anyway.<\/p>\n And the other thing? At about 8:30 this morning, I’m going to be subjecting myself to yet another French test. This one is for all the marbles. Souhaitez-moi bien, s’il vous plait! <\/em>(Or, you can wish me ‘merde’<\/em> if you must. It’s tradition, I know, but I still don’t get it.)<\/p>\n Bonus conversation:<\/p>\n Tristan<\/em><\/strong>: Girls suck and boys rock!<\/p>\n Me (sweetly):<\/em><\/strong> You know, Tristan, mommy is a girl.<\/p>\n Tristan<\/em><\/strong>: Well then YOU SUCK!<\/p>\n So much for mommy’s boy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I need you, bloggy friends!
