We went directly to the cabin from the Chile reunion. Watered all our little trees, got laundry done and hosted Dennis and Margene Taylor for a quicky overnighter. (Dennis and I served in Guatemala at the same time and they were also with us on our mission to Chile). The highlight was the "Low Country Crab Boil" that Margene tutored me through. You put a big pot on the stove, throw in some potatoes, Zataran's Crab Boil Seasoning bags, some smoked sausage, some corn on the cob and then shellfish of choice. We added some fresh green beans and did Shrimp and Scallops. A true Boil would be drained, thrown out onto newspaper in the middle of the table and then everyone eats with their hands and some bread. We chose to be just a little more "civilized" and put it all on a platter!
Invited neighbor Glen Barker to partake with us. Good food (though the flavor was not quite as strong as I would have expected). What the 5 of us didn't consume Glen got to take home. Victor and I had to leave early the next morning (Sunday) so he could be back in Vegas for an assignment.
Thank you friends and family who hosted us, made up beds for us & gave us food throughout our 6 week sojourn: Nathan & Colleen, Mildred and the Hunts in Boise, Roger and Maragaret who fed us at Loku Ona, Sandra Tegland in Chubbock, the Sowbys who housed us during the Genealogy Conference in Provo, the Andreasons in Brigham City, Cherie Lundwall in Ogden, the Wagners in Salt Lake........... we loved imposing on you all and will be happy to return the favor whenever you come to Las Vegas or to the cabin!!
