Hi from Chuck & Wagon...I'm Wagon, he's Chuck...
Day 4 started out great. We had the most amount of parents on this day, so we had plenty of help for breakfast (granola parfait, cereal and lotsa fruit), clean up and packing.
We also celebrated Rob's (Emmet) birthday with a candle lit strawberry plate:
Lunch was totally awesome delicious as well. Stuffed Pita pockets with a cold crispy cucumber salad and crumbled feta on the grass in the open sun in front of the Tamastslikt cultural institute. Kent personally stuffed my pita, so mine had a bit of extra love in it.
As always, enroute to the final destination Dave and I are thinking of dinner. As we passed thru Walla Walla we purchased two humongous slabs of tri-tips from Thundering Hooves butcher shop thanks to Kelly's (Lucas) recco. They stress the fact that all of their beef is 100% grass fed. We also picked up some super crunchy croutons at Walla Walla Bakery. The espresso was ok, but the pastries and breads are not to be missed if you pass thru here.
Soooo... we have 2 giant slabs of meat, a bunch tortillas, and some fresh chopped salsa made by father and son team of David & Gabriel...so what's for dinner? Here's what we came up with:
1. your choice of a warmed wheat or flour tortillas
2. your choice of charcoal broiled rare or pan seared sliced tri-tips, ground taco beef with fresh tomatoes and mushrooms from Nash's farm, or refried beans (or a little bit of everything)
3. top your fajita off with organic lettuce, sour cream, freshly sliced avacados, chopped cilantro, and fresh salsa
4. 2 types of rice: brown and basmati
5. crispy snap peas
All this was done and ready to go thank you to the rockin' team of Mary (Grace), Ron (Lila) and Sara (Isabell's grandmother). Sara was a trooper thru & thru and truly inspiring. This night would've been different if it weren't for Sara. Thank you!!
Of course, if you have a campfire you gotta have s'mores. Which led to the most hilarious moment between Dave (Nikko) and Lila. Lila who is helping us get set up for s'mores looks at the ingredients in the marshmallows looking to see what type of gelatin was used. Most marshmallows use a gelatin that is derived from animal hides and bones. So she looks at Dave and says..."so what kind of marshmallows are these?" Hoping to hear that they are gelatin-free. Instead Dave's response was "oh...these are (reading the name on the front of the package) Great Value marhmallows". Lila responds out the side of mouth with one eye brow up and one down, "...uhhh...yeah right...I bet these were a "great value". I love Orca!
Ok... in my tent and off to bed...breakfast is French Toast
"Get along little doggies..."
