Friday night, Rayme & I hosted a Ward Adult Dutch Oven Cookout/Potluck. It was a fun and learning evening. It was to help teach how to use their dutch oven especially under an emergency circumstance, and enjoy the wonderful food.
Being that this is an outdoor event, and the briquette's are used (meaning the use of fire). Weather is a factor, important issue to consider! Yes, again I was watching the weather to try and predict the weather and the forecast wasn't looking favorable. Being in the the great Pacific NW - yep you guess it - rain! As you may understand rain can have several definitions here. When Rayme started the briquette and it wasn't raining yet, and then it started sprinkling after the coals were started and about the time everyone showed up it started pouring rain. Since this event was taking place on your patio (no cover), Rayme fashioned an awning with tarps to cover our guests.
In spite of the rain, we enjoyed some fabulous food, such cowboy type of beans, a couple of different kinds of stews, Carmel apple crisp, and peach cobbler, ribs. Mmmm - good.
Some of the people wanted to know if we were going to cancel the event because of the rain. Rayme's response - No way! If we really had an emergency chances are it is going to be raining.
I would have to say all in all it was a successful night.
