We were invited by a neighbor to join a group for breakfast in the desert. This group meets about once a month in the winter. This time they brought up three propane crab cookers.
Each of us brought a couple scrambled eggs in freezer bags with our names on them. We also each brought up something to be added to the eggs or something to go with the omelets. After adding the ingredients to the eggs, the bags are sealed and dropped into boiling water for about 6 minutes. Here's Norman doctoring up his 3-egg cooked omelet and adding other goodies to his plate...
Our neighbors set-up a burner on the tailgate of a pickup and did frybread. Boy, was it ever yummy!! She got up early and made two double batches of bread dough.
I took on the job of holding down the paper towels used for draining and after the cinnamon sugar was added. It was a really, really windy day, so Norman, being the considerate fellow he is, placed rocks on the paper towels to replace me. Then I took over adding the cinnamon sugar. It gave me the chance to meet all those strangers and kid around with the guys, who were eating so many. Well, ALRIGHT, I was flirting with them old codgers...LOL
And here we are enjoying our breakfast...well, I'm just eating fruit and frybread. My omelet was one of the last cooked because of my duties...hee-hee.
Like my Christmas shirt? I forgot my long-sleeved shirts. Picked this one up at a garage sale for a buck.
Any-the-way, the breakfast was a really fun activity, and one Kathy and I think we should do in the neighborhood next year. I'm even thinking it would be fun with the family.
PS: It's getting quieter out here. We went into the desert yesterday and saw no one else. Could it be some are already heading home, because of the rising gas prices? We heard from friends in Havasu, who are staying at their Havasu home this winter instead of touring a bit. Their reason: gas is too high.
