The first time I went camping I was 26 years old. We just weren't the camping type of family and I was always somewhat perturbed by the idea that you packed up your junk, drove it to the woods, unloaded and then slept in said woods. It just didnt make much sense to me and I didnt really get the appeal. But once I finally went camping, I *got* it. Now, as long as the weather is agreeable, I love me some (car) camping. This weekend I had grand plans to go camping in Portage Lakes State Park and go see a movie at the drive in. It was a little hotter than I expected so we decided to leave the rain fly off since our super cool tent has ventilation screens on the top- like a skylight. Of course, this was a horrible, awful rookie mistake. On our drive back from the movies- it was a double feature, so it was late- it started to poor. We had vague hopes that the dense trees would protect our tent. Alas, it was not to be and we had a veritable lake inside our tent. So at 2 am we packed our sopping gear and headed back to Cleveland. In bed at 3:30 am and I woke up feeling hungover but without the "fun" part.
I had purchased some Gretna from Blue Jacket Dairy when I picked up my share on Thursday. It's billed as a grilling cheese so I was pretty pumped to cook it over a hot fire while camping. But it was just as good on my grill pan over a hot stove. I grilled up some tomatoes, sausages and the cheese. Fry up a pasture raised egg and you have an awesome breakfast even if you aren't in the woods to enjoy it! Now, to get my hands on more of this cheese....
