we've been talking about it for a couple of weeks and tonight we finally did it! we pulled out the dutch ovens and set up camp next to the compost piles in the backyard. it's already pretty chilly here. so it was now or never. we had one dinner oven and one dessert oven. as it should be. after some misunderstandings between ourselves and the coals we finally got them going and three hours later...voila! good thing we started around 3:30. boy, was it tasty! i have no idea why we haven't been doing this more often. maybe it has to do with the cleaning up and re-oiling and prepping the ovens for storage again. it's a bit of a process. dan, however, was so kind and did most of it. hmm...i think i'll go have another bite of peach cobbler.

Yum!!
Wish we could have been there to enjoy it all!
Peach cobler is one of David's favorite things in the world--we'll have to have that each year on his birthday when we live on the farm together!
We know about misunderstandings with coal....but nothing beats cooking with solid fuels when you can. I have spent hours blowing on coals in vain....I always resort to the impure cooking form of lighter fluid... cobbler looks perfect... And niehter of you are even Dutch!! Amazing

awesome!....for you. I am pretty sure i will never do it myself. I am one of those lame people that convince myself that 30 minute apple crusty is good enough. The last couple dutch oven cobblers i have had haven't been very good. Yours honestly looks delicious though!
save some for me!
