Last night I made a little fire for the kids to make S’mores and my wife and I to sit by while she decompressed from a long work week. Her therapy is the fire and some wine, mine is absolutely smashing Shiite with the MC and then making kindling when I’m tired of blasting through the bigger chunks of wood.
while my oldest Boy was sitting by the fire he asked my Wife if he could cook breakfast in the morning over an open fire- outstanding idea!
Since the grate for the pit seemed to have entered a new dimension I grabbed one out of the oven, so please forgive my McGyver set up.
This morning he made the kindling, I made the feather sticks, he set up the fire, and after many attempts was able to light it with a fire steel. He was very satisfied with his work.
He warmed up some bacon grease in a cast iron skillet, put in some cubed up potatoes, added onions afterwards, then some ham, and finally some eggs. It turned out great!
His sense of humor was shining through, I enjoyed his silliness in adding salt to the potatoes by letting it run over his forearm like the Chef’s that he’s seen on tv.
Time with Family, destroying stuff with the MC, sitting by a couple of fires, boy learning new skills, and a good meal. Excellent ways to end a long week snd begin a nice weekend.
Where is the OGFK though? Not quite sure but looks like there's an EDC missing? In any event, you were always one of the most pragmatic minded ones out of the rest of us knuckleheads who migrated over from there!
