Great rally. Did a shopping trip to Cabella's, farmer's market on Saturday, open house and food. Bonfire at night and a balloon launch. Many thanks to the hosts. It was great seeing old friends and an opportunity to make new ones.

Looks like Tin Can Tourist rally is a no go for us. No pets allowed at the camp ground.

The rules are different for us, DOGS ARE ALLOWED for TCT. The posted rule is for normal park season. TCT takes it over the week before and the week after the park officially closes. Everyone has dogs there including me.

Aha that changes things , will look at the dates again , saw it was 4 days , would probably only make 3 of them.

More requested recipes

Here is the procedure for making the pickled garlic some of You liked.


Fill a Glass jar with fresh garlic and cover completely with rice vinegar or white vinegar. Let set for 3-4 days
Pour off the vinegar and refill with vinegar again. Let set another 3-4 days.
The vinegar is the most important part , to rise the ph of the garlic so botulism is not a issue
(hopefully for the next step You have paid attention to how much vinegar it took to fill the container)

Mix soy sauce (Find a Asian Market and buy a Korean or Chinese soy sauce ,La choy or Kikoman just don't taste the same and come in much smaller containers) Vinegar and sugar to taste. Make double the amount that the vinegar alone took to fill the jar.

Boil this mixture and reduce it by half. Fill the jar covering the garlic and wait 3-4 months.

For the crust;
1-1/4 C. Chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)or graham crackers

Thai Cilantro Wing Sauce:

Juice from 4 Limes
4 TBS Fish Sauce. (available in asian food section of most grocery stores)
4 TBS Water
1 tsp Sugar
1 Bunch Green Onions sliced (use green and white part of onions)
1 Bunch fresh mint leaves chopped fine
1 Bunch fresh cilantro chopped fine
1 tsp toasted sesame oil (available in asian food section of most grocery stores)
optional: you can thinly slice some Thai chiles or serrano peppers if you want to add some heat to the recipe. I would probably remove the seeds though.

Mix everything together and let it rest for awhile so the flavors come together. Will keep in refrigerator of a week or so.
