Griddle and French Toast

Camping on Memorial Day weekend is a tradition for our family.  We are very fortunate to have a great state park nearby with wonderful campgrounds.  This weekend, we camped with about 40 friends and family.   I would not describe our camping experiences as "rouging it".  We have a camper, which means we have an oven and full size refridgerator, not to mention air conditioning and hot water.   When we camp with a large group, Andy gets to make use of one of his outdoor cooking tools, his griddle.  He installed a wench in our barn so that he can load it in and out of his truck alone, and I think the griddle is one of his most prized possessions.

  We enjoyed some very yummy meals, this weekend, due in part to the griddle. Every morning you can find a group of guys all standing around the griddle taking turns frying breakfast, french toast, bacon, eggs, sausages, and pancakes.  We also used it to make steak sandwiches, onions, peppers, and fried corn for dinner.
