Gathering (DOG) #14
February 10, 2007
The Seabreeze Chapter held their February 2007 DOG at Sylvan Rodriguez Park in Clear Lake City on the 10th. Our theme for this month was cowboy "chuck wagon" cooking. We didn't have much of a turnout this month. We had three families from the Seabreeze Chapter and two families from the Saltgrass Chapter. Gail had been planning to come cook with us since February 2005. Our schedules just wouldn't fit together until now. On our second anniversary we finally got the schedules to match up.
I did not know that cowboys ate so good. We had three cakes and a cobbler. Alice made chicken and dumplings and whole wheat bread. Neil made beef cowboy stew and a peach cobbler. Mary and Gail cooked rolls, roasted pork ribs with vegetables, and a cranberry coffee cake. Also from the Saltgrass chapter, Carolyn & her husband made chili and carrot cake. Sandra & Brian arrived with cowboy beans and a chocolate Dr. Pepper cake, leaving Ken at home with a cold. Once again, we had visitors stop by to see what smelled so tasty at the pavilion. Another guest for the day was Bob Mohn, who got to see everything as it was cooked and then sample the results. Everyone enjoyed visiting and swapping stories. It was fairly cold but not windy and the sun actually came out for a short time.
