Dutch Oven
Gathering (DOG) #9
March 19, 2006
On Sunday March 19, 2006 the Seabreeze Chapter held our monthly DOG.
The theme this month was Irish, make it green. We lived up to our name
by having a brisk southeast wind most of the afternoon. That wind kept
us cool and made it a challenge to keep the ovens hot. When it came time
to eat the wind laid and we had a very enjoyable meal. We had five families
cooking in 13 ovens for a total of 28 people present at meal time. We
enjoyed Guinness beef, pork roast with potatoes and carrots, green bean
casserole, green mashed potato meatballs, shepherd's pie, dilled cabbage
potatoes, Dublin coddle, and Irish soda bread with hand churned green
butter. If that weren't enough we also had green apple cake, green peach
cobbler, green velvet cake, and green punch. Wow, it was all soo good.
You could cut that pork roast with a plastic fork. Just the sight of all
those steaming Dutch ovens made you want to grab, root, and growl in the
buffet line. I think I may have grabbed too much, rooted too long, and
now I'm growlin' because I may have hurt myself. Not the grab, root, and
growl I had in mind when I started down that food line. If you were there
you know what I talkin' about. If you weren't there, you missed a good
one!!!!
We decided to change our next DOG to Saturday, April 15th because of Easter
being Sunday. The theme is Tex-Mex. I was reminded by one of the members,
that is heavy on the Tex and light on the Mex. Clear your calendar for
that Saturday and get out there with us. Remember it is time to pay your
dues. Contact the chapter Adviser for the address to mail your dues. Also
don't forget that we need to recruit some folks to come cook with us.
Be thinking who that is and give them an invitation for next month with
or without their Dutch oven. Let's get them there and get them interested.
We just have too much fun to not share it with others.
