Admit it. You don’t go to a County Fair to eat healthy. But I was wondering…

Is there such a thing as a County Fair WITHOUT a grill serving up huge Turkey Legs?

Can’t think of one? I didn’t think so!

Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!

For the Love of Chuckwagons

Good vittles! We all love good food, right? And authentic chuckwagon cooking is some of the best.

My article and photos about some of the chuckwagon participants at the 125th Cheyenne Frontier Days is published now on The Fence Post magazine’s website. Chuckwagon crews are great people, and great to talk with, as well.

Chuckwagon Cookoff participants are also judged on the authenticity and period correctness of their wagons. As a result, the Cheyenne Frontier Days competition brings a great assortment of authentic wagons to the event, including this Newton Wagon Works chuckwagon brought by Sam Howell of Odessa, Texas.

As I say in my article, “Whether it is rodeo or even authentic cowboy cooking, the “Daddy of ‘Em All” makes people love coming to Cheyenne Frontier Days.”

Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!

Chuckwagons at 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days

The Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming is one of the coolest events on the planet. It has been going for 125 years and is also the “World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo.”

One of my favorite things at Cheyenne is the chuckwagon cooking competition. Not so much the competition itself, but the chuckwagons and all the great people that own, run, and help out with those wagons.

I met more great people in Cheyenne in 2021. Adam Hanger from Middlebrook, Virginia and his family and friends brought their chuckwagon (The Shenandoah) all the way from Middlebrook, Virginia to compete for the third time at the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days. I had a great conversation with Adam about why they travel all the way out to Cheyenne with their chuckwagon and parts of that conversation will be in a future article, along with photos, about the chuckwagons at Cheyenne.

If you haven’t attended Cheyenne Frontier Days, put it on your bucket list!

Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!

Simple Ingredients…

Soooo… is it obvious that I’ve got pie on the brain?  That’s all right, there’s no need to panic.  It’s not contagious… unless you happen to be near our kitchen.  Then those simple ingredients in the photo above will leave the pleasure center of your brain begging for mercy.

Isn’t that how life should be?

Simple ingredients.  Nothing fancy.  You can find them anywhere.  In this case, it is chopped pecans, caramel squares and eggs.  Combine those simple ingredients with a few others, bake in a heated oven and voila!  Caramel Pecan Pie.  Your taste buds will never be the same.

In the case of life, it’s much the same way.  Really.  Simple ingredients combined together can make life sweet.  Ingredients like love, respect, trust and faith.  We’ve all got them inside of us.  Every one of us.  And you know what?  It’s up to us whether we will share them or not; allow them to be combined and heated in the oven of life’s challenges.

If we will, the end result will always be sweet.  And we’ll never be the same…

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and don’t let your horse come home without ya!

Pecan Pie Memory…

Can’t you just taste it?

This time of year – coming up close to the traditional Thanksgiving Day holiday and meal with family – starts getting my memory synapses firing on all cylinders.  I like dessert, so one of my favorite memories is the taste of warm Pecan Pie after an amazing Thanksgiving Day meal.

Image

It’s not just the taste of the pie I enjoy relishing in my mind.  That warm Pecan Pie nostalgia also brings with it a host of other great memories.  Laughter around the table.  Smiles and hugs with loved ones.  A time when people are happy to be with each other.

Can’t you just taste it?
