Sometimes life just sweeps you away

So I remembered this blog today. After all of the other things that I had been writing, and all the other things that I have been trying, I remembered this blog. I don't write this for anyone other than myself. It is my hope that I can look back and remember what my life was like at this particular moment. It is my hope that one day I will be able to think back and be inspired. So, continuing my journey through my brain requires a bit of thought and a bit of dillegence so I don't forget what I wanted to gain from it to begin with. So in keeping with this theme, I am back. Remind me if I forget to visit often.

I went camping. To anyone who knows me, this is a shocker. I am not your typical girl, all concerned and fashionable. I can't even wear makeup due to the allergy issues. With this being said, I am a city mouse through and through. I am so not a fan of the great outdoors (the real thing... I love the movie). I am also not a fan of the not showering for days, and the sleeping on an air mattress rather than my comfy bed. I know it could be worse, i did have an air mattress after all, but I am grateful it was only three days.

Having said that, the hubby made a great breakfast each morning that was almost enough to make me forget about the great outdoors... Almost.

OUTDOOR POTATOES AND EGGS

The hubby made this recipie as breakfast two mornings in a row. The amazing thing was that it tasted different both times. It was made in a large dutch oven over the campfire, but I am sure that you could make it on the stove in your favorite skillet.

8 large red potatoes
1 large sweet potato
4 large russet potatoes

1 carton egg beaters
2 tofurkey dogs or brats

Cube the potatoes (Peel first if you are not a fan of the skin). Dump potatoes in the dutch oven, cook until lovely and almost done. Cube tofurkey dogs and dump in the dutch oven as well. Cook some more until the dogs are good and toasted and the potatoes are finished. Add the eggbeater and mix around. Cook a bit until everything is done or until all your fellow campers wake up.

It fed four of us each morning, but we were very hungry campers :)
