Flippin' Burgers (aka Climb School)


The annual SAC climb school was held this weekend and once again I flipped burgers for the students and staff. The CampChef works great and I can do ten burgers at a time, plus four vegiburgers on the Coleman. After watching David make omelets for several years at the Tae Kwon Do camp outs, I was brave enough to add a climb school breakfast on Sunday morning. I'm certainly not as practiced as David, but the omelets were good and I'm getting more skilled with the griddle on the CampChef.

The weather was wonderful in the Gorge, blue skies and no wind. Saturday's rock climbing classes were held at Horsethief Butte and Peter worked hard, helping to set ropes and belay climbers:



Craig and I were up at 5:45 am on Sunday to start the fire and breakfast. We decided to let Peter sleep while we packed up after breakfast. Not only did Peter sleep through breakfast, he didn't wake up even when I removed the poles from his tent, just pulled the tent around himself for warmth:


Craig, however, was ready to go and Peter's tent was the last thing that needed to be packed:

So Peter was unceremoniously removed from his tent and we headed for home. After unpacking the car and a much too short nap, I once again flipped burgers, this time for Susan's family. Kelly's birthday was Thursday and we celebrated today with a barbeque and German Chocolate Cake. I made vanilla ice cream in the new Cuisinart ice cream maker and added a bag of Skor toffee pieces. Very good. I had planned to make a recipe I found for German Chocolate ice cream, with coconut and pecans, but ... no time.
