We really needed a weekend of camping too. I took along some home canned hot pepper relish too. We had guests Friday night, so I made some foil packet dinners to cook over the campfire with sausage, potatoes and beans. Breakfast was easy to pack, meats, eggs, potatoes and bread for french toast.
What's your favorite "go-to" natural remedy to take in your "first aid" kit when traveling. I take chickweed salve and homemade neosporin, and sometimes mullein tincture. Would love to know what you suggest and why. I'm considering digestive bitters next trip.
Friday morning I also baked us some Einkorn peanut butter cookies to take with us. Mmm!
Before we left I made sure the bedding was already washed and back on the bed, Hubby's work clothes washed and dried, and so forth. It really saves a headache of rushing around when we get back home.
Speaking of heading home, just before we got on the highway, someone rolled down their window at a light and told us a piece of metal was dragging. Sure enough it was a jack on the camper that somehow came apart (can be easily fixed). Thank goodness I took a yarn project. We tied it up with some pretty cotton yarn (ha ha!).
Caption this . . .
Einkorn crust BBQ pulled pork pizzas with home grown green onions (which are limited in harvest this year). Crust recipe is online with Einkorn Flour's website, caramelized onions recipe is from the Blue Ball canning book, and I hope to post the pizza sauce recipe during our tomato harvest. San Marzano tomatoes make the best sauces.
Tip: I was gifted a set of thin, flimsy cutting boards a few years ago.
They are great to slide under the pizza crust to move it to the pizza pan. Works like a charm.
Update: We let the rhubarb vodka sit longer and boy the next tasting was very good. Hubby loved it.
As for the garden, we are lacking rain terribly here. We go weeks without it, and I'm watering with well water right now. The tomato plants are growing, but at snail's pace.
We are however, getting rain early. I can't put the laundry on the line as planned (rain wasn't due until 4pm), but I'm thrilled we are getting rain.
I have much to do today. I better get off the "Procrastination Station" and get to work.

Wow, you packed a lot in to just that one post ! Glad you got to go camping at last.
Ha ha! Sorry for the overload post Debby, ha ha! Thanks. We had a very good time camping. The water at the lake was under an algae alert, so no one could swim, but we still had a fun time.
Don't know where in Ohio you are located, but we just got back from attending our daughter's wedding (ahum, her 4th, praying the last!!!) at Hocking Hills. There were four different ways to get there from Georgia, so we took the shortest which turned out to be the longest, with all the winding hills and valleys. Did not want to venture into Cincinnati, then Columbus but SHOULD HAVE. Came back that way and much, much easier. BUT, don't believe we will ever visit Hocking Hills again. Directions for the Airbnb were not clear at all and had to stop 3-4 different times to get in the right direction. But, beautiful quick wedding at Old Man's Cave, despite half of Eastern Ohio and surrounding states wanting to visit as well. Sorry for length of comment, but glad you got away and enjoyed time well spent and deserved!
Mother Em, we love Hocking Hills. There are two cabins we've stayed at that we love. One slept 4, the other only allowed 2. I wouldn't stay at an Airbnb after our experiences booking one. The cabins we booked were great.
