Chicken It's Not What's for Dinner

Hello all.  What a crazy busy week I have had.  To reward myself I am taking the girls (my two dogs) and going on a weekend camping trip.  That means no blog.  Tell you what though I will try to make something truly amazing in my dutch oven.  Got to hone my skills I am up for a competition next year.  Oh, you want to know what made this week so busy.  Well, we had our first annual Sequim Balloon Festival.  Yep the hot air was here.  I am a crew member now, so any other spare time I might actually have I will be crewing.  It is amazing and the wonderful people you meet.  Wow!  Speaking of people, I want to get delve more into that subject because I am thinking of trying a pay it forward kind of thing with food and I want to run it by my fans.  There are some of you right?  I have been blessed with some of the most devoted friends I could ever ask for.  Kindness and giving go a long way I think, and I need to do more of it.  Actually, I think we all do.  A little item goes a long way, just remember that.  Don't get me wrong I am soooo guilty of being mean at times.  I am slowly learning to just walk away, vent in my own personal way and avoid those folks when they turn up in my life again.  But there are those out there who work hard, help when they can and are unfortunately eeking out a living.  Mind you I am not rich, but I am rich with food and good friends who would help me at the drop of the hat.  My neighbor is completely home bound, what kind of life is that.  I admit I don't see much of her, but I fully intend to make her a very nice meal and deliver it to her. So here is my plan.  Eventually, I will set up a special fund for donations and for every $20 dollars received I will make a  meal and deliver it to a selected person. Yes it is in this area, but who knows perhaps if anybody else is interested in doing this I might just add on.  Are you all game?  I say $20 only because that would make say a few days worth of food.  I am not targeting just the folks struggling, although I do have some on my list, but those who are being generous and doing good for others as well.  So there you go.  I am off to make another wonderful creation.  Happy Cooking!!!
